Guest Post: Creating the Perfect Wedding...from the Florists Point of View
Let’s face it, when it comes to weddings and related events, the sky is the limit for a florist. From the choice of the flower, to color palettes, to the type of arrangements for all the events, the florists job is one of great imagination and creativity.
In The Bridal Bouquet, Kady’s dream is to take the family floral shop into the world of weddings. Love and romance may not be on the table for Kady at the beginning of the story, but her love for flowers remains steady throughout, a plus when coming up with fresh ideas for her clients.
Probably the most personal wedding arrangement is the bridal bouquet. Usually the bride has a very personal attachment to the bouquet, as does Kady when she enters a bouquet, modeled after her very own dreams, in the floral convention competition. The details of her creation are in the book!
When working with the couple, Kady has many ideas. For instance, the bride can select a cascade bouquet, with fresh, colorful blooms spilling over her hands like a waterfall. Or one single, special flower making a statement. Then there is the round cluster of flowers, all cut to a uniform length. Perhaps it is all the same variety of blooms that the bride loves, or a combination on many.
Move on to the reception. What kind of centerpiece arrangements are there to pick from? There is the pedestal look, flowers mounted on a high vessel with a dramatic cascade of flowers to the table. The tiered look, a series of arrangements stacked in levels from small to big, making a bold statement. The trumpet, flowers arranged wider at the top and narrower at the base.
And what about the groom’s boutonniere? A single flower adorning the left lapel of his tuxedo jacket, matching one of the flowers from the bride’s bouquet.
Fresh flowers can also be used to adorn the bride and bridesmaid’s hairstyle, the altar of a church, cake toppers and wedding arches.
If you’re interested in what kind of bouquet Kady makes for herself, read The Bridal Bouquet and see if her vision is anything like you would have imagined for her. There’s also a fun scene where Dylan learns to make a boutonniere under Kady’s tutelage.
