How To Choose Your Church Wedding FlowersYou are getting married? Congratulations! Here is some advice to help you choose your church wedding flowers, where your ceremony takes place. It is always recommended that a couple who are getting married discuss the issue of wedding flowers with the minister as early as possible. This will let you know if he, or she, has any specific rules before you turn up with the flowers and find you can’t display them how you intended. A few minutes chat could save you a lot of grief later. You want to find out what methods of fixing flowers he is happy for you to use. For example, he might not be happy for you to use staples or nails on the pews or doors. You might not be thinking of that, but it is worth having all of the facts. Another issue might be the volume of flowers. They are going to have to be removed after the ceremony, and he may have another one booked soon after yours. Trying to remove hundreds of bouquets in the space of an hour is not going to be easy! On the other hand, you may be after another couple, and you need to have time to place your wedding flowers. This may seem an unlikely situation if you are using a small church, but larger parishes may have two weddings booked, especially on a Saturday; one in the morning, and one in the afternoon. If you are on a very tight budget, don’t be afraid to ask if there are going to be any flowers in the church already. The minister may assume that you want these removed, for your service, but you could leave them in place and save some money! Now, let’s get on to the business of choosing the flowers. The issues that you have to consider here are mainly related to the time of year, and the types of colors that you want. The time of the year is going to influence what flowers are easily available, and how much they cost. You need to discuss this with your florist, as far ahead of time as you can. They can give you an idea of what flowers are in season, and this can then help guide you with your choice of colors. If you really have your heart set on a particular color then you can always use silk flowers, instead of fresh. They can look just as beautiful. Unlike a beach wedding, where your flowers need to be able to withstand the heat, your church flowers will have a far cooler atmosphere and should last well into the days following the ceremony. Take a look at the church, before you decide on what type of arrangements you would like. You need to see if there are a lot of window ledges, how many pews there are, the size of the alter, and the height of the door, for example. These are all places that you can add flowers to. You don’t need to fill every space, as I said before, but you may want to decorate alternate pews, and have arrangements in every other window. Plan where you want the flowers to be. You can have different styles of arrangements depending on where they are going to be placed. No matter how many flower arrangements you have, this is your big day, the flowers are simply there to enhance the occasion. You are going to be the focus of everyone’s attention!
