FLOWERS
availability such as peonies , muscari and anemones to name but a few . If asked for out of season , these will be expensive , if available at all . If there are flowers you just have to have in your wedding , this is something to consider when choosing your date . You also need to take into account holidays such as Valentine ’ s Day , Mothering Sunday and Christmas . These holidays will affect the prices and availability of certain flowers .
SCENT SENSITIVITY If you or any guests have severe allergies , tell your florist . If you suffer from hayfever , we recommend staying away from grasses such as pampas and strong scented or high pollen count flowers such as lilies ; and take your antihistamines !
Some flowers and foliages have a severe effect on some people , from the allergic reactions that can come from direct skin contact with eucalyptus to the strong scent of gyp . If you have not been around these before your wedding , it can be a
good idea to spend some time with them before committing them to your arrangements . A bit of testing beforehand can save you from feeling itchy , sneezy and blotchy in your wedding photos . If your allergies are really bad , consider silk options . There are some fabulous high quality , realistic silks available now .
FLOWER FUNDS Budget is something many couples shy away from at a consultation but when we know your budget we can make the most of it and help you save in ways only the experts know . For example , we may be able to achieve the same style but with a more affordable type of flower that is just as beautiful or with slight adjustments to size . Recommending types of arrangements that can be used in more than one place is also a great way to save .
