With today’s economy and access to endless tutorials in the
internet, many brides are considering D.I.Y. flowers for their big day and
often don’t consider the amount of time, expertise and setup needed in creating
and executing their fabulous floral vision for the day of their wedding. I can write a gazillion pages about how
important it is to hire a professional wedding florist, especially when I hear
from folks how they regret doing their own flowers for their wedding, but will
leave it at just the space of the next couple of blog posts.
We are passionate professionals –
Choosing the right flowers, creating perfect bouquets for
each of your 5 or 6 bridesmaids, sturdy boutonnieres for your groomsmen, and
crafting Preston Bailey-inspired ceiling high centerpieces for 20+ tables is
not as easy as you would imagine when there are out-of-town guests coming in
for your wedding to entertain, finalizing all the details of your big day and
just having the time to enjoy being a bride-to-be.
Flowers are one of the most perishable materials to work
with, more perishable than food. Most of
the crafting of flowers for your wedding can only be done just the day
before. As trained florists, we have the
professional experience and training of knowing what flowers will be in season
for your wedding date and which flowers will hold best in hot or cold
weather. We also have the knowledge and
materials used in flower care and handling that will provide you with the
freshest flowers for your special day.
To be in the wedding floral business, we HAVE to be
passionate about flowers and providing our brides with beautiful, quality
floral arrangements! Having access to
the amount of flowers needed for a wedding is not a 9-5 job. Often times, we would need to stay up until 3
in the morning or wake up at 4am to have the best pick of flowers. Then, there’s the mandatory time set aside to
clean and process thousands of blooms to get them ready for arranging and
finally the multiple steps of the art of floral arranging multiplied by how
many bouquets and centerpieces you need.
Despite all this, we love our jobs and are passionate about fulfilling
your floral dreams for your wedding day!
That’s it for now! Look out for the next blog entry…Professional floral designers are
expert artists in capturing your wedding floral vision.
