The Beauty of Flower Creations

For many, flowers might seem to be money thrown away but when it comes to weddings, flowers add the last but not least special touch to make the wedding truly unique.

You don’t have to spend a fortune on flowers, a good florist will be able to create something beautiful even if your budget is small. Florists know what is seasonal and what is cheap when it comes to flowers. They know how to create arrangements with not so many flowers and still look beautiful. A combination of candles and flowers can also do the trick.

A good florist will be creative and will suggest different flower creations as soon as you inform him or her about your budget and general theme of your wedding. No matter what don’t be embarrased to explain if an idea is above your budget. Be clear from the beginning and the outcome will be fantastic.

And finally a few words of wisdom… I was recently hired to coordinate the wedding day for a wedding in Cyprus. The couple wanted a glamorous wedding and originally have informed the florist that their budget was approximately €5000. During the last month when they had their final meeting with the florist they told him that they wanted plenty of flowers and not to hold back and budget was not an issue. The flowers had to flown from Holland to Cyprus because they were out of season. After the wedding when they went to pay the florist it cost them another €800 extra. The groom wasn’t happy with the extra charge and tried to avoid it. We had to remind him what he had said the month before in order to ease the tension.

Therefore, confirm and be clear with your suppliers of your exact budget from the beginning. In the case that you are making changes during the forthcoming months, re-confirm the budget and avoid misunderstandings and stress.

Until next time.
