How much should I budget for wedding flowers?
This is a question we get asked probably every week! And it’s a really difficult one to answer as there are so many determining factors. The main factors being how big is your wedding – the more guests you have attending, the more tables, chairs and pew ends you will need. But seasonality will also affect the price of flowers as will the type of flowers you choose. But as a guide around 10% of your total wedding budget should be put aside for flowers and decorations.
At what point in the wedding planning process should I book my wedding florist?
Over the last few years we have noticed couples booking our services earlier and earlier. It’s not unusual for us to take bookings up to two years in advance! So from the perspective of securing your preferred suppliers, as soon as you have booked your date and venue, that is a good time to book your florist/decorator.
At this stage you may not know exactly what you want for your wedding – most couples don’t even have a colour theme at this stage, but the date can be secured with a very low deposit amount and then you can take your time to decide on the details and numbers nearer the time.
Most commonly though we tend to hear from wedding clients after they have chosen their bridesmaid dresses as then the colour scheme has been decided and this tends to work really well. But if you are working to a last minute timing plan and we still have your date available, we will always be able to put something wonderful together for you.
In the summer heat, what flowers will last longest?
If you are buying a gift or choosing flowers for your home or yacht, you want them to last more than a couple of days right? If its longevity you want then there are some great tropical blooms available which look stunning in structured arrangements and bouquets. Softer and more sturdy flowers such as lilies, carnations and chrysanthemums will last well too even in the height of summer so long as they are kept out of direct sunlight. We can advise you on the best flowers to suit your needs and budget.
