People tend to focus on color when choosing a bouquet. However, your wedding flowers don’t just reinforce your event’s color palette. These blooms are a classic part of the ceremony and reception decor. But, how should you choose the best blooms for your bouquet? Here, Flower Barn in Penfield, NY, shares how you can simplify this decision.

Select Your Wedding Bouquet Based on These 3 Details

1. Location

Are you getting married locally or having a destination wedding? For example, if you are getting hitched in Hawaii, it's best to choose tropical blooms native to the island — it will also cost less. Another idea is to select flowers from your soon-to-be spouse's hometown as a way to pay homage to them. Ask your florist about regional favorites.

2. Texture

Using various textured flowers can add visual interest and turn a nice bouquet into a stunner. Speak with your florist about ways to add unique layers to your wedding flowers by adding leaves, succulents, or different petal patterns.

3. Season

Seasonal blooms tend to be less expensive because they grow within a shorter distance of the venue. If you want to choose seasonal flowers, consider that you may end up with a non-traditional bouquet. Winter weddings in the Midwest, for example, may feature a bouquet made of pine boughs and holly. The largest variety of blooms will be available in the summer, so factor that into your decision when planning your big day.

When you start planning your wedding flowers, keep these factors in mind to make your bouquet stand out. To speak with the talented florists at Flower Barn about your ideas, call (585) 586-5195.
