Many brides choose to preserve their bridal bouquet as a memento of the wedding. The odds are very strong indeed that the bouquet after a time , will end up after all in storage ( which after all often means someplace no one recalls or even remembers). Keep this in mind if you decide to take your bouquet to your local favorite florist for preservation : after all the process will probably cost you more than the bouquet initially did itself. There are , however cheaper and more practical ways , after all , to preserve the bouquet itself. If you do decide to take advantage of them, you can spend the money on something else – for example your honeymoon.

Well , you thought that you could meet your budget. But know you know more places where you could after all use the advice and products of a good florist. Now the issue of your budget , and how much funds that you have allocated portions of your budget to floral arrangements rears its head again. If you want more than you think prudence allows do not overlook the option of silk. When done well . silk flower arrangements can be as lovely as the “real thing” – and they even look more than real and realistic. With silk flowers you can even get a broader choice of colors. And while it can be said that real flowers perish and die quickly, leaving you to lament , money spent on something that just do not last long , silk flowers after all can be kept as decorations or keepsakes long after your wedding day and festivities.
If you cannot bear the thought and thoughts of not being able to smell the wedding flowers, but like the advantages of silk , compromise : use live where it is important to you and silk in other areas. Some brides actually have two bouquet made up , one real , the other one silk. The bride can then keep which either one they prefer and use the other one for the infamous ( or famous) bouquet toss.

Popular florists are often booked up to a year in advance, so don’t delay your search. Begin researching by checking with recently married friends for their recommendations. You might also want to ask around at reception venues for names of florists the staff has worked with who might suit your tastes.
2) ASK THE FLORIST! Once you have contenders, narrow your list by posing some questions. Has she worked at your location before? Which flowers will be in season? What does she suggest for your style and budget? The answers will help you make your decision.
3) DISCUSS YOUR IDEAS!
When you’ve hired a florist, show her magazine picture you’ve collected of arrangements you like and those you don’t, and discuss options. Give her a photo of your dress, as your gown can establish the tone for the event. Also provide swatches from your ‘maids’ dresses, so the bouquets will complement them.
4) CONSIDER COSTS!
Be honest about your budget. Your florist should be able to provide floral options within your financial limits that won’t compromise your style.
5) READ THE FINE PRINT!
Your contract should include itemized costs for flowers, plus acceptable substitutes in case the ones you want aren’t available for any reason. It should also specify when and where the flowers will arrive and who will set them up.
