Theme and Style of the Wedding.

What are the surroundings like (both for the wedding itself and the reception)? Is it formal or informal? Classic or modern? What will the bridal gown look like? What mood are you trying to create? These are all vital clues, which will help Margaret Anne design an appropriate style for you.

How much do you want to spend?

Obviously, you can’t be expected to have a precise budget ready prepared. But a realistic ballpark figure will help myself and staff suggest appropriate types, styles and quantities of flowers.

The colour scheme.

Are there any colours which ought to be included or avoided? What are the bridesmaid’s dresses or the groom’s waistcoat? Or the tablecloths at the reception? Swatches of material are ideal failing that, a photograph or even a colour match from a DIY store will help.

Shapes and sizes.

What age are the bridesmaids? How tall are they? Are there any other attendants to think about (perhaps a page-boy or a matron of honour)?

Hairstyles.

If the bride or bridesmaids are having flowers in their hair, their hairstyle may affect how the flowers can be fixed and what style of head-dress will be appropriate.

The Wedding Venue.

How large is it? What is the lighting like? If the wedding will be celebrated in church, synagogue, mosque or temple, are there any particular customs or requirements, which Margaret Anne should know about?

The Reception.

How large is the room or marquee? Do you want table arrangements, candle arrangements, balloon arrangements and if so, how many? What is the background like – what colour and what material? Do you want any arrangements for the car?

A Final Thought.

Make sure you leave plenty of time before the big day, book early to avoid disappointment as we can be often booked up months in advance at busy times of the year. You might also want an unusual type of flower, which will have to be ordered in especially for you. A small booking fee is required to book your wedding date with us. Don’t forget flowers also make an ideal ‘thank-you’ gift – to bridesmaids, mothers and others who have helped you with all the planning and organisation that goes into your wedding. You can arrange these before the big day or even send them while you’re on honeymoon!
