Finding The Best Wedding Florist New York City Provides

By Kerri Turner


Flowers are one of the most important aspects of a wedding, receiving a lot of attention, as well as being photographed by many people. Choosing the right bouquet, boutonnieres, corsages and other floral arrangements can take a great deal of time and skill. When searching for a wedding florist New York City can provide the very best, ensuring that your flowers look superb throughout the day.

There are various styles of bouquet for the bride to choose from. The traditional cascade has a long flowing sweep of flowers which taper to a point, giving it a very romantic look. Hand tied bouquets can be used if a more casual effect is required, and simply consist of the chosen stems being tied with a ribbon. A nosegay is a small compact arrangement, where as the contemporary bouquets are based on the individual taste of each bride.

Many flowers have individual meanings associated with them, and this can be very significant to some people. One of the favorite blooms that are used are roses, which symbolize love, and another popular choice are gardenias which are said to be the ladder to heaven. The calla lily signifies beauty, and the small star shaped flowers of the stephanotis are believed to mean marital happiness.

Deciding on what color scheme to use is often picked to match the dresses. However, the bride may have her own personal favorite, and take into account the skin tone and hair color of herself and her bridesmaids. For those wanting to make a statement, bold contemporary colors can be used.

There are many different floral arrangements required when organizing a wedding. The flowers for the bride, groom and bridesmaids and their families are only a small part of what is necessary. At the ceremony and the celebration afterwards, centerpieces, chair and pew decorations, and additional flowers for both inside and outdoor decorations may also be needed.

It will be necessary for all items, including the displays, to be delivered to their relevant locations early on the day of the wedding. If the flowers have been left in water until they are required, remember to dry the stems before holding them near, or attaching them to any garments. All the floral arrangements should be in place well before any official photographs are due to be taken.

Many brides wish to keep the bouquet as a memento of their special day and there are various ways to do this. Pressing individual flowers, using silica gel or an air drying process can be carried out, but many florists offer a professional service to preserve them. If this is required, a spare bouquet can be made for the bride to do the traditional 'toss'.

Deciding on what flowers are required can take a lot of time and effort. There are many factors to take into account from color, size, quantities and even the strength of smell. Having the aid of an expert can make all the difference to the overall effect, and when deciding on a wedding florist New York City has top class professionals, who you can find online.
