The Right wedding flowers?
How to ensure you are choosing the right wedding flowers for your BIG day!
How to ensure you are choosing the right wedding flowers for your BIG day!
Many of our Royal brides we've encountered over the years, usually have no clue where to start when it comes to selecting specific florals for their wedding bouquets, reception centerpieces, etc.
As a florist, choosing your flowers is the most exciting part of wedding planning! So, if we are talking about YOU, not to fret. We've put together a short list of what you need to know that can aid in selecting your wedding day flowers/arrangements:
As a florist, choosing your flowers is the most exciting part of wedding planning! So, if we are talking about YOU, not to fret. We've put together a short list of what you need to know that can aid in selecting your wedding day flowers/arrangements:
1- Establish Your Vision:
Determine what kind of bride you are. Are you a true minimalist? Or are you looking to do an uber-romantic Gatsby-style wedding? Create a file of magazine tear-outs OR join pinterest, if you haven't already (by the way, its the best thing since sliced bread). That will give us a clear idea of your loves and love-nots. For example, as many of our royal followers know, orchids can never do us or anyone wrong. We love orchids and find any excuse to use them. Take this centerpiece from one of our St. Petersburg, FL weddings and if you love orchids, pin (or save) this one now!
2. Consider Your Venue Specifics:Determine what kind of bride you are. Are you a true minimalist? Or are you looking to do an uber-romantic Gatsby-style wedding? Create a file of magazine tear-outs OR join pinterest, if you haven't already (by the way, its the best thing since sliced bread). That will give us a clear idea of your loves and love-nots.

Take this centerpiece from one of our St. Petersburg, FL weddings and if you love orchids, pin (or save) this one now!
This tip is major! Think of your ceremony/reception sites as a blank canvas on which we will create your masterpiece. Is there hideous green curtains, obnoxious peach carpet, bright red wallpaper? On a brighter note,is your wedding ceremony taking place in an outdoor setting that may only require minor decor/flowers or maybe nothing at all. Typically with each and every couple we work with, we conduct site visits to aid in the decision process for colors (if desired).
3. Size it Up:
Brides, this is the only time you will hear us say this! Don’t listen to your groom — size does matter! How many guests are you planning to have at your wedding? That number will determine how many tables and, consequently, how many centerpieces you’ll require. How many bridesmaids will you have to outfit with flowers: groomsmen, flower girls, family members, etc.? This will dramatically impact the price. On the other hand, if you are requiring fewer than average centerpieces, you may be able to get those peonies that you swore you couldn’t live without as featured below we hand picked for a recent royal brides bouquet!
4. Budget friendly options:
Lastly, If you prefer to splurge on other categories for your special day (i.e. a nice well-known photographer, a designer wedding gown, the fanciest wedding cake-basically whatever you fancy), and want to cut back on expensive floral choices, go with the below list. All are very nice options and will save you a pretty penny in the end! Take a look at the below cost saving floral options from our recent weddings:
Babies Breath in bunches! Inexpensive, yet gorgeous!
Roses, Carnations, ranunculus, hypericum berries!
Hydrangeas are huge and serve as fillers. Added spray roses, stock, and lisanthus!!
Carnations served on a cake platter!
Various colored roses and green hulk baby hydrangeas
Bling, Diamonds, & Babies Breath- Real Royal Wedding
January 30, 2014 • Events, Real Royal Weddings
Diamonds are truly a girls best friend, right? Well, they absolutely hold a special place in our hearts! :)
We had the honor and the pleasure of working with this beautiful couple for their amazing wedding at the Intercontinental (in Tampa). Both were heavily involved with the planning and the details of their wedding, thats what made it even more special and even more personable.
The couple were enamored by the diamonds, the bling, and the babies breath; from the moment we unveiled the final reception room. The combination alone and the thought makes me weak in my knees. Guests were also in awe by all of the wonderful details.
We provided full wedding planning and floral services (bouquets, ceremony arrangements, and reception centerpieces).

We wanted to share with our Royal followers that you can TRANSFORM any venue into the wedding/event of your DREAMS. Read the following post and stay tuned for more BEFORE & AFTER images from some of our favorite events:
This post is for my Brides, Grooms, and/or anyone who does not seek to be Ordinary! Listen to me clearly. This is proof that you can turn ANY venue into the wedding/event of your dreams. This couple always admired the outdoors and knew from day 1, they wanted a peaceful outdoors setting as they exchanged nuptials. A close friend owned a lake front property Brandon, Florida and from here, we were able to make magic happen! Check out more photos from this event in the Albums section.
