THE BRIDAL PARTY
When you come for your first consultation at The Floral Studio, please be sure to bring photos and clippings of arrangements you like—and also bring clippings of what you DON’T like. This helps us get an even better sense for what you are looking for in a bridal bouquet. We also love to see fabric swatches and even your own sketches.
Some brides come to us with a very clear sense of exactly what they imagine for their wedding day. That’s great. But did you know that purple Irises tend to photograph blue? Or that Calla Lilies, if not properly prepared, can leak at the stem and create a ghost stain on your bridal gown that will show up hours later? We can review your ideas and go over any possible “issues” that might come up, such as out-of-season blooms that might prove to be prohibitively expensive or the possibility that some flowers are natural “wilters” and might not be the best choice for a sunny outdoor wedding. We know how to treat and prepare certain blooms that could otherwise be a problem and we can take steps to tame the fussier blooms that tend to have a mind of their own.
Many brides come to us with a finite budget and are worried that they won’t be able to surround themselves with beautiful floral pieces on their wedding day. We are happy to work with you to create pieces that exude quality and elegance but stay within your budget. We have a few tricks up our sleeves and we can promise you that there are many creative options that don’t sacrifice quality or beauty.
If you’re one of those brides who really hasn’t pinned down exactly what she wants in the way of wedding flowers, then The Floral Studio is the right place to start. We have a full library of bridal designs that you’re welcome to browse and you can also take a look at photos of the many beautiful weddings we’ve done. Bring fabric swatches, copies of your invitations if you have them, and any clippings that you have strong feelings about, (one way or the other!), and we’ll work with you to create floral designs that are unique to you and perfect for your wedding day.
