From LoveToKnow Weddings

The wedding a couple chooses most likely suits their budget, their taste and their lifestyle. A laid back couple might prefer a beach or informal wedding, while the couple wishing to put on an elaborate display might want a more formal gala. Whether the wedding takes place in a church, City Hall, Las Vegas or far from home, there’s one component that’s a must for every bride. That would be the wedding flowers.

What Type of Wedding Flowers Are for You?

The type of wedding flowers you choose depends on several factors:

  • Cost - What can you afford? Look for flowers within your budget.
  • Type of ceremony - Formal? Informal? Indoors? Outdoors? Flowers should match the occasion.
  • Type of reception - For an informal, outdoor affair, a basket arrangement would be perfect. A more elaborate display would work for formal, indoor events.
  • Colors of bridesmaid dresses - Bouquets should match.
  • Wedding reception linen colors - Centerpieces should match decor.

If your wedding is on the beach, the bride and her attendants will no doubt want a simple, long stemmed bouquet. No formal decorative arrangement would be used as the beach makes a lovely backdrop within itself. A church affair might require a more formal bunch with matching arrangements on the altar and other key locations. An outdoor affair might require a floral canopy. The possibilities are endless.

There are so many things that can be done with flowers. Perhaps some of these pictures will give you ideas.

Carol - Who pays for the flowers really depends on a lot of factors. Traditionally, the groom would pay for the bride's bouquet, while the bride's parents would pay for the rest of the ceremony and reception flowers. Today's couples, however, frequently pay for quite a chunk of their own wedding expenses, including flowers, or both sets of parents may contribute to the expenses, though not necessarily by saying what items each individual person pays for. Instead, they may offer the couple a certain amount of money to be used for whatever expenses need to be covered.
