Wedding Flowers In Surrey

The easiest way to spruce up any wedding ceremony and reception is to decorate with some beautiful flowers. The choices and combinations are limitless and depend only on your taste and the price you are willing to pay.

No matter the location or the time of year, a professional florist can get just about any type of flower you desire. Keep in mind that the least expensive options will be flowers that are in season and readily available. Having flowers shipped from halfway around the world will add to the price
considerably.

We advise meeting with a few florists before picking one for your wedding. Prices can be wildly different from one florist to another. You should also be confident in your florists knowledge. She should take her time going through the details with you rather than rushing through the process.

What kind of flowers do I need?

Needs can vary depending on the size and location of the wedding. Often the place where the ceremony is being held already has many flowers. You may just want to add a few flowers that you are particularly fond of.

Of course you’ll need to pick out a bouquet for the bride, as well as bouqets for each of the bridesmaids. Obviously the bride’s bouquet should be the biggest and most expensive. For the bridesmaids, try to pick out something that compliments their dresses.

Many florists will recommend getting two bridal bouquets. One bouquet will be for the bride to carry down the aisle. This will the most expensive bouquet, and it will be the one she keeps as a memento. The second bouquet should be less expensive and smaller. This will be the one that is thrown or given away during an anniversary dance.

The boutonniere is the floral decoration traditionally pinned to the jacket lapel of the groom, his groomsmen, and the fathers of the bride and groom. Again, the groom should wear the most expensive and ornate boutonniere. The word boutonniere comes from the French word ’bouton’ which simply means button. They got this name because they were originally worn in the button
hole of the lapel.

Most florists will recommend decorating the wedding cake with a few flowers. These can be seasonal flowers that highlight the cake and give it some color. You won’t want to overwhelm the cake, just add a few splashes of color to it.

Finally, you’ll need corsages for the mothers of the bride and groom. These are simple floral decorations worn on the wrist and usually made to match the bride’s bouquet.
