Finding Fall Florals

Finding a perfect florist that fits in your budget is important. Another key factor is what flowers are in season during the time of your wedding.

Bright and colorful, they can be used in bouquets, or garland seen in Indian culture weddings.   Carnations are a popular flower to add to any bouquet. They come in all different colors, pair best with almost any flower and greenery. Also very inexpensive! Chrysanthemums  flowers come in multiple colors and sizes. They can be big and beautiful and make great pops to any wedding bouquet. Roses are red, and white, and pink, and yellow and a timeless classic. They come in all colors, shapes , and sizes!

the Record Breaking Wedding

On Septmeber 6, 2003 the largest wedding bouquet was born in Mississauga, Canada. The Guinness Book of World Records has the bouquet measured at 197 feet long and weighing in at 202.8 lb.  What?! Do you think she had any help with carrying it? This lavish (and heavy) display was made up of 500 roses, 400 carnations, 60 lilies, 200 daisies and 340 baby breaths. Think that's a little much? Well the bridal party consisted of 79 Bridesmaids and 47 groomsmen. Talk about an entourage!

Hottest Floral Trends for 2014

The flower of the year is the many-petaled tree peony, Lush, soft, Exquisitely romantic — says New York’s Ariella Chezar, whose work has been seen at the White House. The ideal vessel for your centerpiece? Crystal and silver, says Ariella. "They feel elegant and retro at once." Greens, greens, greens. No 2014 centerpiece will be complete without peeks of unusual greens. Soft vines, geranium leaves and maidenhair fern all top the must-have lists, reports Amber. The flower garland is back in a big way. Ariella loves citrus garlands for bars and over doorways—lemons, limes, oranges on the stem. “And fern garlands are really beautiful. I love them down the center of a long table.” note information found from the Bridal Guide website.
