Whether fresh flowers or silk flowers, or a combination of both, the beauty of the wedding and the pictorial memories of the wedding, are enhanced by the appropriate selection of the flowers. The floral arrangements should complete the attire of the wedding party and the elegance of the other decorations.

Before you even begin to shop for a florist, decide how much you wan to spend on floral arrangements. Immediately start collecting a scrapbook of floral designs that appeal to you.

This way the florist that you eventually choose will have an idea of the mood that you want to create for your wedding. A good florist will work with you to create the mood that you desire within your price range.

Although the ultimate selection of the flowers is your personal choice, seasonal considerations should be given to the choice flowers.

December weddings often feature holly and pine sprays. The rental of additional greenery can jazz up an otherwise plain reception site, and some decorating costs. Remember flowers and greenery that are in season are less expensive.
