Why you should choose your flowers after you choose your venue?

Your floral arrangements should complement the space where you will be getting married. High candelabra centerpieces accentuate the high ceilings and give that gorgeous look you are envisioning without it getting lost in the large venue.

As floral designers, we’ve watched clients juggle wedding planning in combination with their work and personal lives. In our first meetings, we learn that they have already addressed smaller items on their To-Do list. It becomes clear that for many couples, flowers are a priority. But actually choosing their special day blooms is causing stress, so they have been putting it off. It is rare for couples to have booked their photographer, band, and even done their cake tasting by the time they meet with us

Determine Your Budget

Most of our clients have their floral budget finalized by the time they meet with us. The main factors influencing how much money will be spent are flower preference, how many flowers will be needed to decorate the space, and season and availability. Thus, having a good sense of budget early on filters your vision through a realistic lens – you’ll know which blooms are affordable and available. No wasted time and energy.

5 Top Wedding and Party Trends of 2023

THICK CEREMONY ARCHES

Epic décor pieces are back, and we couldn’t be happier. Thick ceremony arches are as big and momentous as the moment at hand. Curved or boxy, the shape is up to you. Just remember, the bigger the better. We’re talking more florals, more greenery, and more wow-factor.

Remember, the arch is the focal point of your celebration and the backdrop to your wedding vows. Work with your design / floral team to determine your arch shape and materials. With the right design team, even traditional flower fillers (like baby’s breath) can make a big impact

CEILING FLORALS AND FLOATING CENTERPIECES

The most memorable celebrations deliver the unexpected. We’ve grown accustomed to certain party staples (think centerpieces, dance floors, and uplighting), but we’re always on the lookout for that something more. Suddenly, a venue becomes more than just an event space. It’s a place where memories are made and milestones are celebrated.

CHAMPAGNE TOWERS

Is a wedding or party complete without a Champagne tower? No matter how many years pass, the Champagne tower keeps making its appearance at celebrations around the world. Luckily, this classic idea continues to reinvent itself.

This year, expect to see Champagne towers without the Champagne. You read that right. Instead of our favorite bubbly, we plan on enjoying everything from martini towers to stacked Aperol Spritzes. It’s time to toast to evolving trends.

CAVIAR STATIONS

There’s no better time for luxury than at a wedding or milestone celebration — and caviar is one of the most luxurious items you can serve

BLUE WEDDINGS FOR A HEAVY POP OF COLOR =

For couples looking for a bolder wedding color palette, it’s time to consider a blue wedding. In a world of blue skies and deep-blue oceans, it was only a matter of time before we turned to nature for inspiration.

Whether you’re looking for a light and preppy aesthetic or something more glamorous and modern, blue is the hue that keeps on giving. It’s time to embrace blue hydrangea, drapery, linen, and more.
