Preparing for your wedding? With years of experience and professional expertise, we’re here to help you make your dream wedding a reality. It’s the biggest and most important day in your life, and you want the wedding flowers to reflect that!

But with so many varieties of flowers and endless selection of arrangements your Toronto florist can offer, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Just remember these 3 things that can help you determine which flowers and flower arrangements are best for your wedding day.

1. The venue. Most people decide on where they’ll be having their wedding service and reception before they decide on the flowers. As a result, the venue(s) should help you determine which flowers are appropriate. While personal taste will always be the most important factor, the perfect flowers can also depend on location. For example, if you’re having it at the beach, flowers and arrangements that can resist the heat and wind may fare better. Think summery flowers and simpler arrangements. Scheduled your wedding at Casa Loma? More extravagant arrangements boasting elegant flowers like roses and calla lilies may be better suited.

2. The season. If money is a concern, you’ll want to buy flowers that are in season. Choose tulips in the Spring, cyclamens in winter – if you don’t know which flowers are in season, just ask us. There’s no doubt you’ll be able to save money doing this. Fortunately, popular flowers like chrysanthemums and roses are in season pretty much all the time.

3. Prepare to prepare. Do a little research before you talk to your florist. Knowing what you like and don’t like can make the planning process easier, and will certainly help your florist understand your preferences!

The Wedding flowers we have available to view online are just a tiny (tiny) glimpse of what we can create for you. We know that each wedding is unique, which is why we recommend you talk to us directly regarding your preferences. Call us at 416-FLORIST to speak with our Wedding Flower experts today!

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.

There are a lot of beautiful and creative things that can be done with flowers. Flowers can be designed into beautiful floral arrangements in vases, baskets or containers. They also make pretty fresh-cut and hand-tied bouquets. Flowers are used extensively in weddings. They make gorgeous wedding bouquets, boutonnieres, guest book garlands, flower headpieces or crowns. They also make exquisite floral armbands, bracelets, wristlets and wristbands, which are also widely known as corsages. A corsage is a small bouquet of flowers worn by women, either on the wrist or pinned to clothing. Corsages are very popular floral decorations that match and accent a gown. They are mostly effective if the colour and design of the flowers are closely matched with the wearer’s clothes and style.

Corsages are the ideal decorative piece on the wrist or clothes of the bride or groom’s mother and grandmothers.They are also very popular for the prom or homecoming celebrations. Most girls either purchase their own corsage or their dates give one to them as a gift before going to a dance.
