Wedding Reception Flowers – Set The Perfect Mood
January 21, 2010
The particulars of your wedding, as personal as they are, will be expressed within the paramaters of the whole setting. You will have established an atmosphere, an environment in which beautiful things will happen and loving expressions will be exchanged.
The specifics will show up more clearly within this larger setting. Flowers are a very important way in which you will set the context of your wedding day. They will certainly frame you and the dress you have so carefully chosen. It’s probably best that first of all you set a theme for the wedding.
This is usually one theme that runs through the entire day, but there can even be two themes–one for the ceremony and one for the reception. Perhaps these themes will complement each other, such as an island feel to the flowers at the ceremony and the feel of a particular destination, such as Hawaii, at the reception.
It is possible to fall in love with specific flowers and, having found them, decide on the theme of the wedding based on their colors and places of origin. Often, however, this will just be confusing and lead to a hodge podge of ideas with which you ultimately will not be satisfied. You don’t want to have to compromise your vision for the dream wedding day, so, if possible, decide on the main theme first.
