6 things you should think about....

I often receive phone calls from women who have just become engaged, and are wondering how soon they should consult with a florist. Whereas I am always happy to talk about flowers, I can be most helpful if you already have this information:

1. The style and colour of your dress.
2. The number of attendants and the style and colour of their dresses.
3. The other members of the party (parents etc.) who will wear or carry flowers.
4. The location and time of the wedding and the reception .
5. Your vision and/or concept for the wedding event (will it be casual, formal or themed ?)
6. The floral styles that you like. If you are unsure, we have many magazines to help you choose, and there are thousands of websites that you can look at - of course, I hope that you start with mine: www.calypsoflowers.com.au !

Here is a flowers checklist to consider:

Bride, bridesmaids, flowergirls
Groom, groomsmen, best man, page boys
Mothers of the bride and groom
Fathers of the bride and groom
Specials members of the family (brothers & sisters etc)
Grandparents
Guests
Throwaway bouquet
Flowers for the ceremony and the reception
'Thank you' bouquets
Petal confetti.

Please send me an email - or a comment - if I can help you further.
