How do you choose the right flowers for your wedding?

What to consider when choosing flowers?

To start with, think about your expectations regarding the appearance, color or type of flowers. When choosing flowers for your wedding, consider the following:

• the taste and personality of the bride and groom,
  
• budget,
  
• wedding and reception style,
  
• theme,
  
• appearance and color of the wedding dress,
  
• place of wedding and reception.

If you do not have clearly defined preferences, it is worth looking for inspiration on the Internet or in industry magazines and catalogs. You can also choose timeless classics that always look beautiful: roses, peonies, orchids or lilies. 

Seasonality of flowers

In addition to the factors mentioned above, the choice of flowers should also be dictated by their availability on the market. When choosing flowers that do not occur in a given season, you have to take into account higher costs. Here is an example of a combination of flowers in the context of their seasonality:

Spring flowers: tulip, lilac, lily of the valley, freesia, narcissus, anemone, grape hyacinth, buttercup.

Summer flowers: rose, lavender, dahlia, peony, gladiola, sunflower, gardenia, hydrangea, eustoma, gypsophila, calla, larkspur.

Autumn flowers: carnation, rowan, rose, dahlia, hydrangea, briar, alstroemeria.

Winter flowers: hellebore, hyacinth, poinsettia, amaryllis, tulip.
