How to choose your wedding flowers

Planning a wedding has never been easy, so many things have to be taken care of and so many ticks have to be put in your check list. Picking flowers becomes very important when you think of a wedding planning. It’s one of the big decisions to be made. Wide selection of flowers available can make your choice more difficult, but here are some tips that will make selection easy and enjoyable. The tone of your wedding and the time of the year will help you to narrow your choice
An absolute hit of course are roses, subtle or vivid colors, they are available all year-round. If the happy day is in summer your can choose yellowish, orange or pink flowers, go for a burgundy, red or white for a winter event. Orchid is another just-married favorites, they come in different colors and will work best of a formal affair. Just like roses orchids are available year-round and almost everywhere in the world. Calla lilies are gorgeous; their winter white color and long green stems are great choice for any season.
Getting married in spring? Try to be different with the fragrant spring flowers like lilies of the valley, peonies. Tulips have moderate scent, but they are so beautiful that it’s hard not to choose them for decorating your wedding. More and more brides choose to go for a smaller bouquet of not-like-everyone-else flowers. Peonies and lilies of the valley can definitely make you look special.
If the affair is planned for summer dahlias will make a perfect choice. They come in numerous variety of colors and shapes and will make a wonderful centerpiece or a bouquet. Dahlias are usually very bright and if you are looking for something less prominent you are likely to be delighted with hydrangeas. They are available in soft colors - white, green, purple and blue and look awesome in bouquets. If the tone of the wedding is casual and playful you can go with daisies, they will be a perfect match for an outside ceremony.
Intending to make your fall wedding look different? You love mums but they seem to be too popular? Pick those of rare colors – chocolate brown will look great contrasting the white of the wedding dress and table spread. Chrysanthemums will stand any weather and last longer than any other bloom. Another desirable flower for a fall event will be cosmos. They are not often used, and thus are huge attraction for those who prefer to be different.
If you picked winter for your wedding you already made it different. Luckily today seasons can’t limit your selection you can choose almost any flowers you love or think will go with your wedding. Winter weddings could always use some color. Consider anemones, with black centers surrounded by petals in white, purple, or burgundy or choose bright tulips which add spring flavor to the event.
