7 Major Mistakes Brides Make With Wedding Flowers (And How to Avoid Them)

March 20, 2015 by Ariane 2 Comments

Wedding flowers play an important role in your wedding. They add extra beauty to the overall atmosphere and of course add a sweet fragrance. Not only do they serve as major decorative items but also they make for great detail to include in your amazing wedding video from the perspective of all your family and friends. Blogger Daniel Clark is here to tell all on the most common mistakes people make when flower shopping.

Mistake #1: Not communicating with the florist

You need to communicate with the florist and share your vision, likes, expectations as well as dislikes frankly. Also, you can share your doubts with several wedding florists that provide exclusive wedding flowers online. Once you have expressed your wants and needs, trust that they will provide you with the best possible service.

Mistake #2: Not ready for any kind of compromise

This is the most common and biggest mistake for the bride, to have her focus on a specific set of flowers and leaves no room for flexibility. The florist will perform much better if some amount of flexibility is welcomed. Give them the colour scheme and they will incorporate it into the overall look.

Mistake #3: Not reusing the ceremony arrangements

The aisle flowers can be used as centrepieces and the altarpieces can be moved to the buffet table. Save yourself some money by using the flower arrangements!

Mistake #5: Doing last-minute bookings for the florists

Don’t wait till the last minute. But if so make sure to look at the sample works of different florists before deciding. With last-minute bookings, your wedding vision may have to be altered.

Mistake #6: Opting to use only one colour

Majority of the bride just try to match the flowers to the bridesmaid dresses, which is not a good idea. The bridesmaid wearing a lavender gown and holding up lavender flowers will not look good and will make very disappointing pictures. Using contrast coloured flowers against your colourful gown will resemble an attractive look. For an instance, the lavender gown along with the set of lime green flowers will make for fabulous photos.

 Mistake #7: Choosing highly aromatic flowers

Choosing strongly scented flowers especially for the centrepieces is quite an amazing idea, but this may not be suitable for the guests whom you invite. If your guests are prone to allergies, then this may not be a good idea. It’s smart to avoid the highly aromatic arrangement by just sticking to the bridal bouquet and the altar arrangements.

    There are so many decisions to be made for a wedding, and it’s been kind of stressful for me. Flowers is one thing I haven’t even started on, because I’m not sure where to begin! This is a really helpful article to read, I especially appreciate your tip about only using one color. I can see that would cause problems and I’m glad I know to avoid it now!

    I really enjoyed reading this article! My fiance and I are going to be getting married in a few months and we are trying to work out all of the arrangements for the wedding and the reception. We have been going back and forth on the flowers so we will have to work on a compromise like you suggest. I really like your tip about communicating with the florist. We will have to be sure to do that to have the results that we are looking for, thanks for sharing!
