Having a June wedding? As the most popular month to schedule a wedding, June keeps Toronto florists busy fulfilling tons of personalized wedding flowers for the bride and groom, as well as the other important figures in the ceremony (and the venue, of course!) June as the top wedding month is perhaps due to the name of the month – it takes after Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage and protector of women. She also oversaw fertility, pregnancy, and childbirth.
One of the most important flower arrangement for any wedding is the bouquet. The bouquet represents fertility. The custom of throwing the bouquet is centuries-old, originating from a rather necessary act to protect the safety of the bride. Long ago, the bride was believed to be a symbol of luck, and guests of the wedding often tried to take something from the bride to become lucky themselves – by any means necessary. This proved to be a dangerous custom, so the bride would appease the men by giving them her garter and her bridal bouquet was given to the women. Both items were tossed into the crowd to protect the bride as the guests would scramble around in an effort to be the 
lucky recipient.
June may still be a couple of months away, but the smarter couples and planners know full well that flowers should be planned months in advance. This is considered good practice, since more time usually allows the florist to accommodate to your needs better. For example, you may want a specific flower that isn’t readily available, but time allows your florist to source that flower and make sure there’s a sufficient quantity available for the day of your wedding. Planning ahead also give s you (and your florist if need be) some breathing space in the event plans change or something unexpected happens.
