Nothing says Spring like Wedding Flowers
Alessandra 01/10/2024 0
The new season is around the corner… and talking about wedding celebrations what would be a wedding without flowers? It’s like Spring without blooms. I guess you’re a newbie about flowers and you’re wondering what’s the most important thing to consider when choosing your wedding flowers, you ended up in the right place!
Wedding flowers are one of the key elements of your BIG day. Not only your wedding flowers will set the tone and theme of the day, they will also provide colour and decoration as a symbol of love and growth throughout the entire ceremony.
That’s why, I’ll give you some tips about the choice of the right floral arrangement.
Share your ideas
First and foremost, finding your own inspiration will come in handy when you’ll be describing your vision to your potential florist. There are tons of inspiration around, but collecting everything you especially like will be helpful to set your vibe. I’d suggest blooms such as peonies and roses, they totally suit a classy vibe, while if you’d love to give a romantic touch lush arrangements and big blooms will work.
Pay attention to the season
Yes, your wedding date will play a big role in which kind of flowers you can get. Well, certain blooms could be out of season and become more expensive and harder to find at different times of the year. Furthermore, if you’re getting married during the hot summer months keep in mind you’ll need your flowers to be able to last, such as lavender or roses.
Let your venue influence your floral arrangement
The area where your ceremony and reception take place can help you a lot with choosing the right floral arrangement. If you’re marrying in a park or an open-air venue, you can get your ‘wow’ effect keeping flowers to a minimum and utilising the natural blooms around the venue. Moreover, it’s necessary to keep in mind your table-setting too, round tables or imperial tables, they can influence the shape and style of your floral centerpieces. Hence, your venue will widely influence your decisions.
Don’t forget your colour palette
If you have your colour scheme set, make sure to tell your florist!
Have in mind your dress
Your bridal bouquet is your main wedding accessory and should complement the dress you chose, so you need to think about your wedding flowers also in reference to your dress. Usually, a bride’s dress is to be white and any colour will easily match. I tend to suggest flowers in shades of soft pastels and a lots of lush green foliage.
Recycle Your Blooms
Last but not least, your “Yes, I dos” will probably last more or less one hour, on the contrary your wedding flowers will last longer. Then, you can reuse your floral arrangements such as aisle arrangements or bridesmaid bouquets to adorn other areas of your venue: just like at at the moment of
the cake-cutting.
Let romance blossom on your Wedding Day!

Identify your Vision
Once you have a date, start identifying your Wedding vision and then start looking for a professional Wedding Planner who can make it come true.
Meet virtually with your Planner
Many planners like me have jumped on the virtual world using different platforms to plan ceremonies and make their presence felt even at a distance. Thereby, all your wedding planning worries will be at ease!
Organize a virtual venue tour
During this pandemic period, most Wedding venues are now offering personal site tours via FaceTime or Skype. Virtual tours allow the couple to see the venue in real time, you can literally have a walk through your venue with the help of your Wedding Planner asking for all the information you need without risking your safety. What better way to find your Wedding venue right from home than a virtual tour?
Meet virtually your Vendors

Set up an initial consultation via Skype or FaceTime with photographers, floral designers, make-up artists, bands and so on always with the essential help of your Planner. They can show you samples of their work and talk about their packages as well.
Caterer & Cake Tasting
Tasting the food is a key thing for choosing which dishes you want your guests to enjoy during your Wedding Day. Just like your venue it’s impossible to complete a tasting in person right now, you can request sample tasting of the food and cake that they offer available for a take away service.

P&C: how to celebrate a true love!
The magic of the sea from an ancient tower planned by Wedding Amalfi
Paola and Carmine, a young Italian couple, fell in love when they were just two kids
and since then they’ve always lived their lives together.
Carmine is a passionate, creative and brilliant young man who is dedicated to photography and fashion.
A strong passion that he turned into a real job.
Paola is a sophisticated, calm, accurate woman.
A woman who truly loves details and precision.
Not without reason, numbers are an important part of her work.
Travel, hobbies, sports, adventures, art, cooking, wine: that’s all Paola and Carmine share!
Their relationship is a kind of symbiosis mixed with osmosis made of four arms and two hearts that beat as one.
After meeting them and knowing their story, I thought a lot about what their Special Day should be like…
…and I imagined it on the sea!
The perfect venue for their Wedding?
An ancient Saracen Tower, ‘Torre Crestarella’ in Vietri sul Mare.
Their marriage and union symbolized beauty, nature, history, tradition and love.
