The old adage, fail to prepare, prepare to fail. This is a motto any bride should live by in the run up to their wedding, especially in the long hot summer.
Once you have your wedding outfit sorted you can then start planning the flowers. If you think that you might like flowers that are in season then read on.
More so than ever couples are opting to have an intimate wedding with close family and friends, and then have a big party afterwards, splitting up the pressures of the big day and spending as much time as possible celebrating. It used to be that only celebrities did this but now more and more are going with the small wedding large party option.
By limiting the number of people you invite to the main ceremony you can keep control of the budget, you won’t have to feed the 500 or so guests or people you have known in the past or get as many wedding flowers. If we are going for fewer flowers, the good news is that you can get flowers that are exclusive and glamorous. You could even go so far as it have your wedding remote and exotic, meaning guests will have to travel miles which will also keep the numbers down, but those that do come will come because they want to, not just for a free lunch.
If you are opting for a summer wedding you have many choices of flowers, including lots of pink and cream flowers. There are the usual suspects of roses and gerbera but these are available all year round. What you want to do is get something that picks up the moment. A traditional summer season flower is peonies, as well as Nerines, stocks and phlox which come in a variety or colours, and some can often be candy striped. For an elegant and custom look try having your bouquet hand tied and simply having the stems left loose or covered with ribbon or voile.
If you think you’d hate to part with your bouquet at the end of the day, plan ahead. Make up a small bouquet that is perhaps a smaller version of the official bridal bouquet and use it on the guest book
