A Guide for the Flower-Challenged Couple
Planning a wedding is exciting, but let's be honest, it can also be overwhelming. And for many couples, the world of wedding flowers can feel like a foreign language. Don't worry, you're not alone! At Chirpee Flowers we're here to help you navigate the floral landscape and ensure your wedding blooms are as beautiful and stress-free as your special day deserves.
"I Don't Know Anything About Flowers!" - A Flower Crash Course
Feeling clueless about carnations versus calla lilies? Don't panic! You don't need a botany degree to choose stunning wedding flowers.
Start by thinking about the overall vibe you're going for:
Romantic & Traditional: Think classic blooms like roses, peonies, hydrangeas, and lilies. Soft pastels and elegant arrangements are key.
Modern & Minimalist: Clean lines, sculptural flowers like orchids, calla lilies, and tulips, and a focus on greenery are your friends. A monochromatic palette or bold pops of colour can create a chic look.
Bohemian & Rustic: Embrace wildflowers, textured grasses, and locally sourced blooms. Think loose, natural arrangements and earthy tones.
Pro Tip: Pinterest and Instagram are ours and your best friends!
Create mood boards with floral arrangements you love.
This will help you communicate your vision to your florist.
"Will My Flowers Be Fresh and Beautiful on My Wedding Day?" - The Freshness Factor
This is a valid concern! You want your flowers to look their absolute best throughout your wedding day. Here's what to look for:
Reputable Florist: Choose a florist with a proven track record of quality and reliability. Read reviews and ask for recommendations.
Sourcing: Ask your florist where they source their flowers. Local growers often offer the freshest blooms.
Care & Handling: Discuss how your flowers will be stored and transported to ensure they stay fresh.
Seasonality: Choosing flowers that are in season will ensure they are at their peak and will likely be more affordable.
