As a bride how do you decide what flowers to have for your wedding? Do you go for your favourite flowers if they are in season, do you go for colour, or do you look through wedding magazines to get inspiration for what you like.  There are so many different choices out there it can get confusing.

If you want to go for seasonal flowers, you can check out our seasonal calendar to see when they are available in New Zealand, if they aren’t there ask us on Facebook and we will find out for you.  If you are going to go with your favourite coloured flower, have a look at the galleries, and copy and paste the flowers
that appeal to you so you can show the florist. If you are going this way make sure you take a picture or sample of your dress to help the florist choose the right shades of colour.

If you are still looking around at different ideas, on Facebook we have a wedding album with some of the work from Florists around New
Zealand to give you ideas.

Once you have decided a great way to work out exactly what you want is to create a wedding board, have a picture of the bouquet that you
want for your big day, then photos of each of the flowers that you would like in it. This way you have created the starting board to discuss with your florist.
Then they can go through each of your choices, and work out what is seasonal, what is not and offer alternatives.  

Check out these two wedding boards that I have quickly done, I have just cut and pasted the bouquet of choice from our Facebook page, and then the varieties from our photo galleries on the website. weddingboard1, weddingboard2

So have fun choosing your flowers and have a fabulous wedding day.
