Some brides even choose a freeze-dried bouquet, which lasts forever. There are many companies who will preserve your fresh flower bouquet too. You'll find some in our wedding shop. Whatever flowers you decide on, keep your arrangements to scale with the venue and occasion. A grand wedding requires more stylised floral arrangements, whilst a small reception at home could be adequately catered for with simple vase arrangements and bunches of flowers.
Standards of service vary considerably.
Always ask to see photos of other wedding-flower arrangements the florist has done. To find a professional florist in your area, try our confetti pages. The cost of flowers can be alarming and much depends on seasonal availability, so to cut costs, find out what's in season and work round it. When visiting a florist, take as much information with you as possible to help them to help you. If possible, take sketches of your dress, the attendants' clothes and samples of the fabrics.
