Flowers, flowers, everywhere! The floral motif is an intricate detail of a wedding that binds everything together. It is forever present first appearing when the flower girl (look at that, a girl named after them) saunters down the aisle sharing them with families, to the bride and bridesmaids bouquets of colorful wonder to the décor of the reception to the centerpieces that guests can take home, enjoy and remember the magical event they recently witnessed. Flowers and their arrangements can be viewed as a piece of art adding color, texture, emotion and ultimate pizzazz to any atmosphere. They are the first element you notice, besides the bride of course, and the last to leave an impression.

I recently worked beside a fantastic florist and designer who absolutely awed me with his creativity. He loved that his contribution set the stage for an auspicious occasion. Flowers frame the very essence of a wedding. At this particular wedding the star flower power was the snapdragon and it shined from every corner of the room. The bride may choose whatever she like and it truly does make you smile when holding a bouquet specifically made to fit your personality. Of course there are many ways to go with your arrangements, especially in today’s modern world. The flowers can be bold and beautiful or subtle and soft. They can pop or deliver that sensitive yet dramatic whimsical feeling. It all depends on what captivates you. Pick the style which suits your own desires and indulge.

Flowers make everything better, I truly believe that. They are a form of expression and ultimate pleasure. They give a wedding life and décor depending upon season, bridal wishes and design. Always have fun with it using your imagination to create an intimate setting: bohemian style or romantic or beach casual or glamorous beyond belief. Enjoy the entire experience and never forget to take a moment, sit back and . . .smell the roses, while your at the altar.
