Choosing Your Wedding Flowers: Tips Straight from a Floral Designer

Planning a wedding in San Francisco? Let's talk flowers, my friend! Here are some quick tips to help you find the perfect blooms without breaking the bank.

First things first, consider your venue and the season. If you're tying the knot in a garden or outdoor space, go local and choose flowers that are in season. It's not just eco-friendly, but also wallet-friendly! And for indoor venues with limited natural light, go for bold and bright flowers to liven up the space.

Next up, think about your wedding gown and bridesmaid dresses. You want your flowers to complement, not clash. If your dress is detailed, keep it simple with elegant blooms. But if your dress is more low-key, go all out with vibrant and colorful flowers that scream, "Look at me!"

Now, don't be shy about asking for recommendations. Your florist is the expert, after all. They can guide you on the best flowers for your color palette, venue, and dress. If a specific flower is out of season, they've got alternatives up their sleeves.

Speaking of sleeves, let's talk budget. Weddings can be pricey, and flowers are no exception. Have an open chat with your florist about your budget. They can suggest wallet-friendly options or work their magic to create a jaw-dropping design that won't leave you penniless.

To wrap it up, choosing wedding flowers doesn't have to be overwhelming. With these tips, you'll create a gorgeous floral design that perfectly matches your theme, venue, and dress. Remember, your florist is there to help every step of the way. So, ask away and keep your budget in mind. Happy planning, lovebirds!
