By Tracy Hildreth

Be organised

As with all weddings, planning is the key. The secret is to have all the finer details sorted before your big day and everything should go without a hitch. If you are making your own flowers you will need to do a bit of ground work for preparation. Everyone’s motto should be: fail to prepare – prepare to fail!

The preparation work you should do is to work out where you are going to buy the vases from, or can you rent them – are you really going to need 10 large vases after your wedding? All new brides expect flowers from their new husband but

in reality is he really going to buy 10 vases worth of flowers once never mind every week! Remember: don’t forget the pins, string and material to cover stems with.

Thoughtful idea: let your guests take them home or sell them on an auction site. Other research you need to carry out is where are you going to get the flowers from, perhaps talk to your local florist who should be able to help.

Other key information that you should think about is once you’ve created the flowers how are you going to transport them to the venue or if there is more than one, venues. Thoughtful idea: if you are the bride perhaps delegate this to someone else.

Keep it simple

Ensure that you have enough time to make the arrangement either on the day or the night before, perhaps get someone over to help you with the cutting and tying – its amazing how long it will take you if you don’t do it every day like an experienced florist. Again, practices before the day to make sure you don’t make mistakes and run out of materials or decide create a new flower design – it is not ideal. It will only stress you out!

Flower choice

Choose classic flowers that will last throughout the day and for a good week after they have been made – you don’t want them wilting after you’ve put so much effort in. Thoughtful idea: roses and lilies are flowers that keep well, as are the ever classic carnations. You can create beautiful posies of hand tied roses or arm bouquets of lilies that just flow.
