Best Picks for White Wedding Flowers

Keri
When it comes to your wedding day, you want every thing to be perfect. So you carefully pick and choose every little detail. Here is a little help when it comes to your bouquet. If you want white flowers make sure that you find out what flowers are in season, whether you want real flowers or the cheaper silk versions, and how much you are willing to spend on the whole kit & caboodle.

If you decide to go for the real deal, then it if very important that you contact a local nursery or florist and find out what flowers are in season when you are getting married. This spring a couple of white flowers that will be in bloom are the Hydrangeas, Lily of the Valley, and Tulips. Some more white flowers can be found in a convenient list onhttp://www.weddingclipart.com/guide/flowers/white-wedding-flower.html. This web page has them all listed for you to be able to just look, decide what flowers you might want and take to the florist.

Keep in mind that the trends at the moment for bouquet flowers include Tulips, Iris, Daffodil, Apple Blossom, Narcissus, and Forsythia. There are white Tulips, Iris's, Apple Blossom's, and Paper white Narcissus. Just to name a few. Obviously the best way to know what flowers are available and in season are to ask the local nursery or florist, they will be the best source for this information. The local florist will also be able to help you decide what to pick for your blissful day. Also another great tip, if you are a do it yourselfer then delegate, delegate, delegate. You will not be able to create all of your floral pieces by yourself, especially if it is remotely close to your wedding day.

If you want the reception, church, and any other flowers for the big day to all match the bridal bouquet then you should take another look at using an Amaryllis, Lisianthus, Lilac, Roses, Gladioli, Peony, Anemone, and the Calla Lily. These all make great flowers for centerpieces, or garlands. Calla Lily's have the ability to be bent making for striking pieces.

A couple of websites to check out for some prices include; FTD they currently have a bouquet of Calla Lily's going for $97.99+ shipping, another is 1-800-flowers.com. They are currently boasting a Rose Brides Bouquet that is going for $119.99. Those are just a couple of websites. You should always go local before outsourcing to long distance companies.

There is also the silk flower route that you can go. With this in mind, you don't have to limit yourself to the flowers that are in bloom at the time of your wedding day. You will be able to pick from any of the white flowers for your bouquet. You can probably even find some varieties that aren't naturally white that have been made into a white silk version of it. The cost will be lower than the fresh flower versions. A white Rose Bouquet can be found for as cheap as $39.99 in the silk version.

Some things to keep in mind, decide if you want real or silk flowers, pick out the flowers you want, and if using a florist give them plenty of time in advance. Also if you are planning on making your own, I suggest using silk flowers, and giving yourself longer than you would give a florist. The biggest thing to remember is to relax, and enjoy the entire event, from the planning to the big day itself. It is supposed to be fun!
