Flowers for a Wedding Party

One of the key aspects of the aesthetics of any wedding is the flowers chosen. You may also be surprised to learn that up to ten percent of the bill for many weddings ends up being solely spent on flowers. To the groom or any male reading this, that figure probably seems like a bit of a waste of money. However when it comes to weddings, it's the brides opinion that matters and according to most brides, the flowers chosen really do matter. One of the problems however is the wealth of choices available. I will now outline three of the most popular choices of flowers for a wedding party, all of which can lead to a beautiful main event.

The Traditional Choice of Flowers for a Wedding Party

Many brides to be dream of roses at their wedding party due to the fact that they are well known symbols of both love and happiness. Though they can be a little bit on the expensive side, many people would argue that their beauty and symbolism render them worth the price. It's important to remember that they come in many colours besides red so if you would like to make the traditional choice of flowers for a wedding party but feel that red is a bit of a cliché; there is no need to feel confined to the traditional colour.

The Mellow Choice of Flowers for a Wedding Party

Hydrangeas are among my favourite choices of flowers for a wedding party as they come in a range of relaxing and low key colours. They generally lead to a far less formal look and come in purple, pink and blue. They also have the additional advantage that they have very wide blooms which means that they can be purchased in smaller numbers and hence fewer dollars than most types of flowers for a wedding party.

The Brightest Choice of Flowers for a Wedding Party

Though they can be difficult to get right, sunflowers remain as popular a choice as ever for weddings. They are symbols of summer and tend to lend a fun and bright atmosphere to any event that uses them. If you are looking to save a little cash in the area of the floral arrangements, they have the pretty large advantage that provided you can find them, there are many areas in the UK where they can be picked free of charge.

So in conclusion, provided you choose one of the options outlined in this list, you are very unlikely to regret your decision. Just remember that when it comes down to it, it is only the bride's opinion that really matters and the decision over which flowers are chosen for the wedding party is no different.
