Theme and style of the wedding
What are the surroundings like (both for the wedding itself and the reception)? Is it formal or informal?classic or modern?What will the bridal gown look like?What mood are you trying to create?These are all vital clues,which will help us design an appropriate style for you.
How much do you want to spend?
Obviously,you can't be expected to have a precise budget ready prepared.But a realistic ballpark figure will help us suggest appropriate types,styles and quantities of flowers.
The colour scheme
Are there any colours which ought to be included or avoided?What colour are the Bridesmaids dresses-or the Grooms waistcoat?Or the table cloths at the reception?Swatches of material are ideal-failing that,a photograph or even a colour match from a DIY store will help.
Shapes and sizes
What age are the Bridesmaids?How tall are they.Are there any other attendants to think about(perhaps a page boy or a matron of honour)?
Hairstyles
If the bride or bridesmaids are having flowers in their hair,their hairstyle may affect how the flowers can be fixed and what style of head-dress will be appropriate.
The Wedding Venue
How large is it?What is the lighting like?If the wedding will be celebrated in a church,synagogue,mosque or temple,are there any particular customs or requirements which the florist should you know about.
The Reception
How large is the room or marquee?Do you want table arrangements and if so how many?What is the background like-what colour and what material?Do you want any arrangements for the car?
