Choosing the Right Wedding Flowers for you
Author:
• Sunday, January 22nd, 2012

Wedding flowers are equally important to a wedding as the attractive dress of the bride, the wedding cake and the customized wedding rings. It is wise to select wedding flowers based on the season when the wedding event is going to be held.  Wedding flowers must suit the shades and designs of the wedding couple’s outfits. Even though, few wedding couples choose dark colored flowers for their wedding, the majority of couples like to have the elegant and classical white flowers in their hands during their wedding.

Some of the most famous flowers that are commonly used as wedding flowers include tulips, lilies, hydrangeas, peonies and roses. One of the unique advantages of roses and lilies is that they are available during all the seasons of the year.

When choosing wedding flowers, it is very important to choose the suitable bouquet for the wedding as well. The top three most famous and renowned shapes of wedding bouquets include the classical posy type, shower or cascade variety that is made in the shape of a teardrop and the lengthy and sleek armed bouquet that can be held on the arm portion.

All types of flowers will be suitable for the bride if she is going to wear a white or cream colored dress. However, if the bride is going to wear a different colored wedding outfit other than white or cream, then it is best to choose similar colored flowers suitable for the wedding outfits like red with green, purple with yellow.  Equal importance must be given when choosing the wedding flowers for the bridesmaids. The male attendees of the wedding event must utilize the flower that has a single buttonhole and suits the dominating flower variety present in the wedding bouquets.

Based on the hair style of the brides, certain artificial flowers can be placed in the bride’s hair for more attraction. Large amounts of small sized flowers can be scattered all through the hair or a single large sized flower can be kept in the bride’s hair depending on the hair style of the bride. To choose the right flower to complement the hair style of the bride, consulting the hair stylist will be greatly helpful.

Flowers can be organized in pedestal style if the wedding event is going to be held in a big church. Finally, placing a single flower or small sized flower bouquets along the aisle in all the seat’s rows will make the wedding venue more beautiful.

Perennial garden flowers for shady areas
Author:
• Saturday, January 21st, 2012

Perennial garden flowers can add beautiful elements of color to shady areas of your garden and landscape. Many perennial flowers are shade tolerant, and some even prefer shady areas, but you must be sure that the flower you are planting is appropriate for the amount of shade your garden is receiving.
There are essentially four different shade categories that are suitable for different plants and flowers:
Light shade (also known as “filtered shade” or “thin shade”) generally refers to areas that receive two to three hours of shade daily.
Medium shade (also called “partial shade,” “half shade” or “semi-shade”) is an area that has four or five hours a day without direct sunlight.
Full shade is an area where there is no direct sunlight at all during the day, although there is indirect or reflected sunlight available to plants.
Deep shade (also known as “heavy shade” and “dense shade”) are regions where there is no direct or indirect sunlight during the day.
Once you know what kind of shade you are gardening in, you should be able to select the appropriate shade loving perennial flowers for that area. Here are some suggestions of some of the best shade perennial flowers for light, medium and full shade conditions.
Light Shade Perennial Flowers
Daffodils/Narcissus (Narcissus). From fall planted bulbs you will have beautiful orange, yellow, or white flowers that do well in light shade.
Foxglove (Digitalis). A tall light-shade, perennial flower, the Foxglove blooms in late summer, sending up spires of flowers that can easily reach four feet in height.
Columbine (Aquilegia). Native to the woodlands, columbines can grow up to three feet tall and come in a wide variety of colors. They generally bloom in May and June, and thrive in areas with light shade and moist, well-drained soil.
Medium Shade Perennial Flowers
Hardy Begonia (Begonia grandis). There are many varieties of begonias that grow in tropical climates, but this hardy, medium shade loving variety is an excellent choice for Northern gardeners up to zone six. Their beautiful flowers generally bloom in the fall.
Bleeding Heart (Dicentra) – This beautiful plant has heart shaped flowers that bloom in May and June. Bleeding heart plants range in height from just over a foot to nearly three feet tall and prefer medium shade conditions. The plants are poisonous, however, so care needs to be taken to ensure they are not planted in areas frequented by children or pets.
Daylily (Hemerocallis) – Beautiful bright orange flowers that thrive in medium shade and can be propagated easily. In some areas they are classified as a noxious weed because of their quick, spreading habit.
Full Shade Perennial Flowers
Hosta (Plantain lilies). Although hostas are often grown for their wonderful foliage, most hostas also produce beautiful lilylike white and lavender flowers that bloom in late spring until late summer.
Foam Flower (Tiarella). This wildflower has white flowers that grown up to 12 inches tall and are very tolerant of shady conditions. They can be easily naturalized in shady and moist areas (such as along stream banks) or planted in mass to create a beautiful ground cover.

Wedding Flowers For All Seasons
Author:
• Friday, January 13th, 2012

Every season brings a new selection of beautiful flowers for you to choose for your wedding bouquet. It’s cheaper to choose flowers that are in season and no matter when you get married, you should have a great choice. Of course, you can usually still have out of season flowers if you have your heart set on them, though be aware they may cost a little more. There are always alternatives, too, with some spectacular fake flowers available.

Before you embark on your search for the perfect wedding flowers, think about how they will look with your wedding dress and if you want them in your hair or decorating your dress in some way. Will you need different flowers for your bridesmaids? Petals for flower girls? Buttonholes for your groom and groomsmen? And what kind of displays do you have planned for your reception? Once you have some preliminary answers to these questions then you can start to think about which flowers are in season when you plan to get married:

Spring

When spring has sprung, you will have a huge choice of different blooms, as well as some beautiful foliage that can be woven in and out of your bouquet to add some fresh green tones. Bulbs, such as tulips and daffodils can be gorgeous for a simple, rural wedding. Peonies are in season during spring, and come in a range of delicate colours. Forsythia can bring a splash of yellow, and the ever popular Lily of the Valley enjoys its most abundant season during April and May. Snap some up then if you can, as this wonderfully perfumed flower is one of the more expensive choices. Hydrangea can look stunning in deep shades of indigo or blue. Great spring colours include soft pastels, nude shades like ivory and pale pink, sunny yellows and deep purples.

Summer

Use the uplifting atmosphere of summer to co-ordinate your wedding flowers and go bright! Gardens are alive with every colour of the rainbow so pretty much anything goes – purples, oranges, yellows and hot pinks – whatever fits with your decor and your wedding dress. Many summer weddings are outdoors, which is a wonderful opportunity to channel your inner flower child and get back to nature with some earthy and subtle tones like pale pink and white roses, soft blue delphiniums and pastel-coloured or even green chrysanthemums.

Autumn

Calla lilies are in season during the autumn months, and can make a showstopping bouquet out of very few flowers. Autumnal colours are earthy and deep; reds, yellows, oranges and browns – why not incorporate leaves and even nuts and berries into your bouquet? Interesting flowers in season include ranunculus and Chinese lantern fruits (Physalis) for a unique bouquet.

Winter

Adding colour to a winter palette is always a winner – dark reds, luxurious golds and deep purples teamed with white and ivory look absolutely gorgeous. Adding greenery into your flower displays and bouquet is a nice touch too – take advantage of the seasonal flowers and foliage, such as amaryllis, cymbidium orchids and tropical anthuriums.

All Year Round

The following flowers should be widely available all year round, in a variety of colours, but remember you will get the best deal on your blooms if you buy in season:

Roses
Anthuriums
Orchids
Tropical flowers
Lilies
Gerberas (gerber daisies)

Alternatives

You don’t have to go with fresh flowers, of course – there are plenty of alternatives to choose from, such as flowers made from silk, ribbon, paper or even wood! For a Christmas wedding, you could use baubles and for a summer wedding how about a pinwheel or a decorative fan? Customise and dress up a fresh or false bouquet with beads, sparkles, pearls, ribbons, brooches and sequins.

Choosing Colours

You will no doubt have made some arrangements to do with your wedding before you go looking for flowers, so hopefully you should have some idea about your general décor, colourscheme and style by now. If it’s difficult or expensive to get the flowers you want out of season then compromise by using a few in the right colour interspersed with more readily available white flowers. Think about coordinating your bouquet to your wedding dress, and the bridesmaids’ dresses, and what colour buttonholes will look best against your groom and groomsmen’s shirts and suits. You can use flowers as centrepieces for your reception, decoration for your ceremony, accessories for you and the bridal party and even as part of your favours, so choose carefully!

Sympathy flowers are available online, including delicate and elegant bouquets, and also wonderful arrangements. Many people decide to purchase funeral flowers in order to show their deep regret for a relative, colleague or friend.

We do not want to think about death and often times, we are surprised when someone close to us passes away. In such situations, a simple gesture can signify a lot more than a thousand words. With sympathy flowers, you show members of the family and other friends that you suffer just as much. By purchasing funeral flowers, you make a gesture that clearly exhibits honor, goodness of heart and the deepest respect. It’s hard to deal with the death of somebody you loved and esteemed, a person that touched and changed your life. Are flowers a solution to show how much you care? The answer is obvious.

Professional florists have understood the need for sympathy flowers and catering to the constant demand, they started to provide beautiful bouquets. Red roses remain a favorite choice, including when it comes to funeral flowers, being simple and yet so elegant.

You can also choose a pink carnation wreath and offer a long lasting and classic flower arrangement. The combination between carnations and chrysanthemums is amazing, the bouquet being more than suitable to remember a friend.

For a long time now, people have wondered what flowers should be used in such situations. Well, it seems that white lilies are often purchased as sympathy flowers, being so beautiful and delicate. If you want to buy funeral flowers from an online florist, you can definitely go for a bouquet of white lilies, elegantly accompanied by other seasonal flowers. You can show your grief through a simple arrangement of flowers, mourning over the loss of a friend, family member or co-worker. Flowers will always send the right message, needing no additional words to be mentioned.

Funeral flowers are often brought to these events as a sign of deep regret and sadness. Still, there are many people who purchase sympathy flowers to show their feelings for that person. A traditional posy of pink orchids and delicate lilies might express everything you wanted to tell and feel you couldn’t. Our experienced florists provide the most exquisite arrangements, combining colors and scents.

You have the richest diversity of colors and scents; why settle for one? Select several flower arrangements and enjoy the gold, lemon and orange flowers, the perfect offering for someone you loved. And if you really want to bring all of your feelings out on the open, why not go with a bouquet of pearly white flowers? Remember, flowers represent a simple but yet such a meaningful gesture!
