FLOWERS

Flowers for your ceremony and for your bridal party make up a significant portion of your wedding expenses. Your flowers are the first thing your guests see after they are seated and carry through to your photographs. You want all the arrangements to complement one another and blend together seamlessly. Start by interviewing floral designers and make sure to ask the following questions:

What is their experience in designing wedding arrangements? Can you view their portfolio?
What kind of access do they have to flowers that are “out of season?”
Get details on exactly WHAT the cost includes. Often times delivery charges, set-up fees and special order costs are extra.
What is their cancellation policy?

Your flowers should be timely and seasonally appropriate. Your representative can guide you through which types of flowers create the style of bouquet you are looking for and all designers should have the ability to create one of the more popular styles—cascade, cluster, contemporary or hand-tied nosegay.

Attendants' flowers should complement the bridal bouquet while the groom and groomsmen should don boutonnieres on the left lapel—consisting of a single flower. A small cluster of buds can be used to differentiate the groom from his groomsmen. Whatever you decide, your flowers should reflect your personal style. Many of our advertising partners like Flowers by Wayne Jones, Virginia Beach; Jeff’s Flowers of Course, Newport News; My Favorite Things, Williamsburg; and Norfolk Wholesale Floral, Norfolk can easily guide you through the selection process while staying within your allocated budget—all while creating breathtaking arrangements that make your wedding day perfect.
