TIE THE KNOT WITH BEAUTIFUL BLOOMS

Flowers and weddings go together.The first known use of flowers in weddings was in Ancient Greece where crowns of plants and flowers were put on the bride’s head, and since then, the two have gone hand-in-hand.
The bridal bouquet also had its origins in ancient times, when it was believed that a bride should carry a bunch of aromatic herbs and garlic to fend off bad spirits.Sage was often included in the bouquet as it meant the bridal party would be blessed with wisdom.In the Victorian age, the language of flowers became very important with each flower having a special meaning, so brides carried posies which contained a special secret message for the groom. 
The term ‘flower girl’ also originates from Victorian England where a young girl would sprinkle petals on the path in front of the bridal party as they walked to the church.This gesture was to bring happiness and flowers into the lives of the newly weds. 
Today, there are no hard and fast rules.From traditional white arrangements to modern creations in vivid reds and oranges, the choice is huge with the only real constraint being budget, of course.  While you may have a good idea of what you want for your wedding, it’s best to consult a professional florist who will offer advice based on years of experience.
Many brides set their hearts on a certain type of flower to suit their theme.  An important consideration however, is availability.   Flowers are seasonal, yet many wedding planners overlook this fact.  Using in-season varieties will get you more bloom for your buck.
A good florist will be able to advise on creating the look that you want using in-season flowers.They’ll make sure that your wedding won’t be second-best just because it won’t be the season for daffodils !Flowers come in such a variety of shapes and hues that there’s no limit to what can be created with them, plus there’s always foliage and containers and other accessories to make the presentation really interesting. 
A florist will advise on the most suitable varieties to use for the occasion.Gardenias, for example, are fragrant and gorgeous.Yet they bruise and go brown very easily, and consequently won’t look beautiful in a bouquet for very long.  The same applies to Stephanotis, which is a delicate and fragrant blossom.These flowers will wilt and go brown in just a few hours if they are close to body heat, so although they are popular for bridal bouquets, the reality is that they are not really suitable.
Ennis Flowers in Perth owner, Sarah Ennis, believes that it is important that there a good relationship between the florist and the bride, based on trust and integrity.  “A good florist will advise on quality, durability and pricing of wedding flowers as well as the most appropriate blooms to complement the colour scheme and theme.” 
Some of the most popular types of flowers used at weddings include roses, lilies, daisies, tulips and hydrangeas.But she cautions brides not to be too set in their ideas about their flowers, saying that for example, roses around Valentine’s Day are very expensive and they aren’t always the best quality.”
With many years of experience in flowers in Perth under her belt, she is well-equipped to advise on what are the best flowers to use in a bridal bouquet. It’s recommended that the florist see a picture of the wedding dress as well as a piece of the fabric in order to choose the best types of flowers and colours.  For example, a long, trailing bouquet will complement a full-length gown while a smaller posy or single bloom are more suitable to knee-length skirts.A bouquet that draws attention to the centre of the body should be avoided by fuller-figured women, whilst a long, trailing bouquet will make a bride appear to be thinner and taller.
Wedding flowers are often one of the focal points of the celebration.From the simplest celebration to the most elaborate, fancy affair, professional advice on wedding flowers in Perth will ensure it’s the best day of your life.
