How To Choose The Ideal Wedding Bouquet by missyholly: 8:53am On Oct 16, 2015
One of the biggest decisions you are going to ever make is what flowers you will carry in your hands as you walk down the aisle on your wedding day. Every bride has her own ideas, her own preferences and tastes, this means that what you like may not appeal to someone else, but there are some factors you can take into consideration to help you choose the perfect wedding bouquet that will make a statement and blend in with your theme and dress on the day.

The best start in deciding on your wedding bouquet is to go through bridal magazines. You have probably already got a number of magazines you have been going through for inspiration, but these can also hep inspire you when it comes to your bridal flowers. Look at what brides are using in their bouquets with different gowns and in different seasons. This will help you identify what you don't like, what you do like and what you really want to have.

The good news is that this is your special day, so there is no right or wrong decision. If you love roses, then there is nothing stopping you adding roses to your wedding bouquet. If you love carnations, lilies or even daisies, then why not add them to make your bouquet unique and match your personality and style?

Set yourself a budget before you start your search. When it comes to your wedding day, you have probably allocated budget to each aspect from your gown to the caterers and the reception to your bridal flowers and wedding bouquet. Having a budget can help you identify the best flowers, find the right florist and ensure that you get exactly what you want at a price you can afford.

If you are working to a very tight budget, then use expensive flowers sparingly and bulk your bouquet up with cheaper options, mixing and matching them to get the desired look you want to achieve.

Always focus on the theme and get the colours you want that will provide you with the colour scheme you are looking to achieve. Bright bouquets are perfect for a summer wedding, making the statement you want to make and still add a bit of fun and colour to your theme.

Remember that fresh flowers are available based on season. It's advisable to speak to your florist and see what flowers will be in season during your wedding month, this way you have an idea on what flowers you can have in your wedding bouquet without worrying on whether they will be available or not.

Always choose a reputable florist, a company with years of knowledge and experience in the flower industry who can provide you with advice, make recommendations and help you make the right decision when it comes to the flowers you should be using in your wedding bouquet. They will be able to identify with your theme and season and then make recommendations on what they think should be included in your bouquet, you can then decide what you do and don't want to include.

When it comes to choosing a florist, you will find these days you don't have to rely on high street florists, you can buy your wedding bouquet online from a reputable online florist, this often works out cheaper and helps you stay within your budget. Remember online florists don't have the expensive overheads and therefore are able to share this saving with their customers.

As florists based in Nigeria, with over 35 years experience in the Nigerian horticultural scene, I will add the following points.

When choosing a bridal bouquet for your wedding, first ask this question - are you using fresh natural flowers or silk/artificial flowers?
I will focus on fresh flowers here.

Next question is- are you particular about the bouquet or about your budget? With a large or unlimited budget, you can get almost anything. With a fixed budget, your choices are more narrowed down.

your focus is on the bouquet, the internet gives a lot of pictures and ideas to choose from. However, focus on Nigerian florists if you are in Nigeria. The reason is simple. Not all the flowers you see over the internet are available to the Nigerian market. Some flowers are seasonal. Others do not travel well due to their short lifespan. Some cannot handle the high humidity and temperature of Nigeria.

Finally, select your florist wisely. Ask for pictures of past work. Be sure you are not shown stock pictures from the internet. Try to get an understanding of the florist's capabilities. And book on time!!!
