My Wedding Flowers

I have to confess that whenever someone asks me what is the flower I like best I usually get stuck.  That’s right, what is THE flower I like best? And the answer that instantly pops up in my mind is that I don’t like A flower, I like a lot of flowers that exist out there in the world. I remember I have seen once a photo album with pictures of the flowers from all around the world; it comprised so many beautiful flowers which I had no clue that they were actually real that enormously wonderful they were. The feeling I got while looking at those photos was that of a painter who had played with his imagination and created a show of imaginative flowers one could not but be charmed with their existence.

So when it came to the issue of choosing my wedding flowers I found it hard to decide on the type of flowers to have for my bridal bouquet, for the bridesmaid bouquet, for the boutonnières, for the decorations, and last but not least for the table centerpiece. I started by searching the internet sites and the richness of options got me more into an indecision.

There were so many flowers, so many styles of arrangements that I was at a loss not knowing what to pick up. There they were: roses, in so many appealing colors, daisies with their delicate colorful petals, the majestic lilies displaying their greatness as if offering to you in a total and somehow refrained dedication, the rich in blossom and so faithful hydrangeas with its colors that render it the aspect of a flower descended from an impressionist painting, the bouquets that combined peonies and burgundy dahlias and lilies of the valley, the forever delicate freesias in a celebration of freshness and candor, the floral show seemed to be endless.

To make my decision easier to be taken I closed my eyes and pictured an image from my future wedding and I saw myself wearing the light blue wedding dress with its ruffles along the long train and saw myself holding a bridal bouquet that contained different colors, such as burgundy, white and yellow. So in one way one element was solved, I just need to find the flowers to go with the colors, so I found that white roses with burgundy lilies and yellow freesia would be a bold creation so I reached for a florist found on the Internet website and let him know about my idea.

The florist was of a great help to me in assisting with every step regarding the choices for my wedding flowers, asking me a lot of details connected to the wedding: what was the color of my wedding dress, how many bridesmaids will attend to my wedding, how many guests I wait to attend to my celebration, where was settled the location of my wedding reception, and most important what was my personal style and if my wedding was more of a traditional or more casual one.

In the end I was glad that I asked for the florist services, it proved that he knew exactly what was appropriate to my wedding atmosphere, so I needn’t further bother with the selection; I found it anyway too hard of a task. If it were for me I would choose them all to be part of my wedding day, as I wanted them to color my Big Day in that special way that only a flower is capable of delivering.
