When the wedding bells start to ring in your head, you are going to be on the lookout for all kinds of things for your special day, including an array of gorgeous flowers. Have you always had your wedding flowers picked out in your head ever since you were a little girl? Even if you haven’t, there is a chance that you still have a pretty good understanding of the kind of floral arrangements you would like to have on your wedding day.
When choosing the flowers to use in your bridal bouquet, you will see that you have hundreds of choices. However, you should proceed with caution if the flowers that you have in mind are exotic in nature. You may not even know that the flowers you like are exotic, which means that you need to try and schedule a consultation with your florist as soon as possible so you can start to work out your floral designs and color schemes.
As you make a visit to your florist, do not be afraid to ask plenty of questions about the flowers that you have in mind. An exotic flower could mean anything from the availability during the time of year that your wedding is taking place to the area of the globe that they need to travel from. Be sure that you take plenty of notes on each flower, including cost, availability, possibilities for arranging and certainly the life of the bloom once it is cut. The last thing you will want is an exotic floral bouquet that will be wilting halfway through your reception!
With all of the changes in fashion and even the fact that many brides are adding a great deal of color to their weddings, it is no wonder that exotic flowers are the bloom of choice when it comes to a wedding bouquet. Some of the wonderful exotic blooms that you may be able to choose from for your big day could include birds of paradise, bronze callas, cymbidium orchids, anthuriums, hypericum, and even fruits! Many brides have been looking to accents of limes, figs, chinaberries and more for their gorgeous exotic wedding bouquets.
Also, consider having the exotic arrangement you choose freeze dried and mounted as a keepsake from your special day. There are a number of florists that offer this service. Most require that you ship the flowers to them and then your flowers will be freeze dried and dipped in a special solution to preserve them. Mounted in a beautiful shadow box frame, you’ll have an elegant reminder of your special day for years to come.
No matter what exotic flowers you choose, you can always work with your florist to find a design and budget that will suit your needs. With the addition of such incredible blooms to your big day, it is guaranteed that your guests will have something gorgeous to look at and remember your wedding by!
