Wedding Checklist: Flowers
Weddings are a busy affair - so many things are happening all at
the same time. Because of all the things that are happening in
unison it is best to prepare with a wedding checklists. Weddings
could be super stressful for the unprepared. Wedding checklists
are important to keep track of things in a wedding and to keep
things in order and so as to not forget anything important when
it comes to the crunch. A wedding flower checklist is
important to keep track of the decoration component of your
wedding.
When you start to make checklists, make sure you also have a
wedding flowers checklist to ensure the themeing and
decorations for your wedding run smoothly and without too much
hassle. Of course, the most basic and important part of your
wedding flowers is the floral bouquets. The usual set of
bouquets that are ordered for weddings are the Bride's bouquet,
Bride's toss away bouquet, Maid of Honor's bouquet, the
bridesmaid's bouquets and finally the flower girl's floral
basket or bouquet. Write those down in your wedding flower
checklist and we're on a roll...
The next set of flowers to consider for your wedding flowers
checklist is the floral accessories for the other members of the
family. Corsages would be the next set of flowers to consider:
the bride and groom's mothers need one as well as attending
grandparents from both bride and groom. The men also need floral
decorations. It is part of the wedding tradition that the groom,
the best man, ushers, ring bearer and the fathers of the bride
and groom as well as attending grandfathers are entitled to wear
a floral boutonniere. The colors and mixture of flowers you
choose should be chosen with consideration of the wedding theme
as well as synchronized with the colors of the women's corsages.
To tie up the official end of the wedding floral plan, you may
want to add this to your wedding flower checklist: You may also
want all of your wedding party as well as your immediate family
to have some flowers to attach to their suit or dress as a sign
of 'membership'.
Now, there are other points you may want to add to your wedding
flower checklist. It doesn't end with simply the floral
arrangements that are carried or attached to members of the
wedding party. There would be also flowers surrounding the
wedding ceremony and around your reception area if you choose to
do so. You may want to have flowers to decorate your rehearsal
dinner. You may want ot keep it simple by having a floral
centerpiece for the main table. If you aren't on a tight budget,
well you can go out and get as many centerpieces as you want.
For the wedding reception you may want the following list of
floral arrangements present in your wedding: The main table
centerpiece, centerpiece for the gift table (if there is a gift
table), a centerpiece for both the buffet table and bar. For the
wedding ceremony you may want to consider floral arrangements at
each pew or at the central area where you will be married.
You may want to delegate the responsibility of your wedding
flowers checklist so you can depend on someone else while you
concentrate and ponder about your own wedding. Good luck in your
wedding planning and hope your wedding flowers go to plan
according to your checklist.
