She sees many brides who find gorgeous bouquets on Pinterest , but often they contain high-end flowers or even silk florals . She focuses on what Maggie and Moe ’ s can use to stay within the preferred look and stay within budget .
That is why the theme is so important , and to determine how various flowers can be re-purposed for the entire wedding . For example , floral arrangements used in the ceremony can also be placed around a unity candle or as head table décor .
“ This is important with bridesmaids ’ bouquets ,” she said . “ You ’ ve spent money on them , and they ’ re pretty , so where can they go after the ceremony so people see them ?”
She sees many brides who want a particular look rather than a specific type of flower . And while brides sometimes want seasonal themes for their weddings , it ’ s the colors that make the bouquet seasonal , rather than the flowers themselves .
Additionally , the majority of wedding flowers , including roses , lilies and sunflowers , can be found year around . That ’ s where florists will customize the flowers by color to keep it in season . Spring and early summer see more pastel color palettes
