Below are some helpful tips about wedding reception flowers.
Tip #1
When hiring your florist, make sure you know who is actually going to be making your arrangements and bouquets. You want the same florist working with you from consultation to delivery.
Tip #2
Have your flowers do double duty. For example, you can use your bouquets as arrangements on the head table. Or you can have your pew decor transferred to the reception to be used as centerpieces.
Tip #3
Utilize fresh fruit, herbs or vegetables in your bouquets and arrangements. These unusual items add a unique touch - and sometimes smell - to your wedding day.
Tip #4
Keep the flowers the same throughout your entire wedding. If you are using roses, hydrangea and orchids in your personal flowers make sure to use them in your centerpieces too. Buying in bulk lets your designer save you money.
Tip #5
Try to incorporate a specific flower or color your mother or grandmother used in her bouquet on her wedding day. This will not only fulfill the "something borrowed" item but also adds a personal touch to your bouquet.

The Five S'
Sight
More than half of all brides select their floral based on color. Most weddings have a few colors that provide a continuous theme throughout all aspects of the day.
Scent
If appealing scents are what you are after, our designers can help you choose from one of many fragrant flowers. Tuberose, gardenia, hyacinth, eucalyptus, lily of the valley and freesia are a few flowers with unmistakable scents.
Season
Whether it is fall, spring, summer or winter, you may want to consider flowers that signify the season. Most types of flowers are avail- able year round, but adding a seasonal element can add a personal touch to the arrangements.
Symbolism
For genuine nostalgic flower lovers, some flowers carry serious sentiment like red roses, carnations and daffodils. Let us help you coordinate color with significance.
Sneeze Factor
Runny noses and sneezes should be reserved for sick days in bed, not wedding days. Let us know if you or your wedding party have specific allergies to certain blooms.
