The wedding flowers that you choose for your special day, can be the crowning glory to a unique wedding theme and gowns worn by the attendants. They are also a focal point at the church alter, and on tables at the reception. When it comes down to this part of your wedding planning, it’s a good idea to pick up free brochures from local florists, or clip photos of flowers and arrangements from magazines, so you’ll have images to refer to, when making your selections.

One of your first decisions with regard to wedding flowers, should be how extensively you’ll use them. An outdoor wedding held in someone’s yard, can take advantage of established gardens that are already there. Should Mother Nature not cooperate, it may be necessary to enhance the gardens with strategically placed potted plants that are rented from the local nursery.

The alternative, outdoors or indoors, is to use either arrangements of real flowers, which can be distributed to guests or local nursing homes after the event, or silk wedding flower baskets that can be rented for less than the real ones cost. The final decision can come down to a preference for real flowers being sacrificed to the difference between buying and renting.

The same choices can apply to the wedding flowers that will be carried by the bride and her attendants, corsages for the mothers, and the bouttonieres for the gentlemen. Real flowers can be expensive, particularly if you choose the unusual or unique, such as orchids, or a bouquet that includes exotic flowers like the Bird of Paradise. However in this particular use of flowers, the choice between real and silk wedding flowers may be one of sentiment.

Brides today who follow the tradition of throwing their bouquet, often do not throw the one they carry. Many girls are now choosing to have two bouquets made, one in real flowers and one in silk. The silk wedding flower bouquet is generally the one they keep.
