The Relationship between a bride and her blooms
Just like the dress and the cake, flowers are an
essential part of any wedding, no matter the budget, venue, style or religion.
Besides spreading their sweet fragrance, fresh flower arrangements lend a touch
of color, elegance and class to any event.
Depending on your personality and of course your
budget (fresh flowers can prove to be a truly expensive affair), you can choose
from a wide variety of blossoms. Sweet-smelling roses, cala lilies and orchids
are by far the most loved flowers for bouquets, corsages, and buttonholes, not
just because of their meaning (roses as we all know signify love, joy, beauty;
cala lilies and orchids signify elegance) but also because of their shelf-life.
Tulips signify undying love, while lilies signify purity. Even the fillers used
in bridal bouquets and other wedding day arrangements have deep meaning.
Forget-me-nots stand for true love, baby’s breath and freesias represent
innocence, and asters are a symbol of love, daintiness, contentment and
unpredictability. Floral wedding décor by experts such as WW Events specialize in outdoor floral arrangements for beach weddings and outdoor events in Goa.
If you are particularly superstitious, keep away
from yellow carnations and chrysanthemum as they stand for disappointment and
rejection and jilted love, respectively. In the same manner, marigolds stand
for grief and jealousy, while peonies represent shame. Most modern brides,
however, do not really conform to these beliefs and go ahead and use peonies
and mums in their floral arrangements. After all peonies, just like
theranunculus (aka buttercups), are bright and gorgeous; and chrysanthemums
(besides being really economical and long-lasting) are obtainable in almost
every color you can imagine from soft clouds of white to rich yellows and
stunning pinks and purples.
Whatever you opt for, you can then tie in the rest
of the décor using all or some of these blooms. From your table centerpieces to
the flower girl’s pomanders and even the bridal party corsages, you can use
these flourishes everywhere. What’s best is that since most flowers are
available in almost every color, you can choose something according to your
color scheme as well. Also the time of the does make a difference as well. It gets very hot in Goa during the months of January until May making flowers to welt easily.
But before you even venture to do any of this, ask
a florist based in Goa (you can of course inquire with more than one) for a
quotation. Even if he/she cannot give you an exact amount, they should be able
to get a ballpark figure. As said earlier, fresh blossoms, whether they are in
season or not, can be awfully pricey. However, do not despair. If you do not
feel that you can meet your florists’ tab, why not go in for some artificial
arrangements. Some of these look just as real and will end up costing you less
than half.
Another way to cut down on costs drastically if to
craft your bouquet and a few floral arrangements yourself. If you’ve never done
it before, just log on to you tube or any other service and see how it’s done.
Then go out and buy a bunch of flowers, floral tape, floral wire, floral foam,
etc and try wiring them together. It isn’t as difficult as it seems and if you
do end up being successful, you will feel really proud to be holding one of
your own creations up for everyone to see.
So whether you choose to go small (with just the
bouquets) or big and extensive (with fresh flowers on every table, nook and
corner), there is no doubt that fresh, fragrant buds and blooms will liven up
your day like no other. Speaking to a local planner can save you plenty of time effort and money in choosing the righ floral décor. We highly recommend Infinity Events based in North-Goa since they have been around for a number of years and specialize in beach weddings and outdoor weddings.
