Floral

Before you pick the flowers for your wedding arrangements, check out these tips:

• Choose your hues. Take a walk down our flower aisle and see what catches your eye. Are you a fan of color? Choose brightly colored buds for your bridal bouquet or wedding flower centerpieces. If subtlety is more your thing, softer shades create a subdued mood — and let your wedding gown take center stage.

• Select your shape. Classic round flowers like roses or peonies are timeless choices for your wedding flower arrangements. Consider yourself a modernista? Then go for a tall wedding centerpiece or wedding bouquet filled with longer-stemmed blooms.

• Get seasonal. When you get married can help you figure out which buds to choose. Spring and summer weddings call for hydrangeas, daisies or bright floral bushes. Accent with roses, wildflowers — even a feather pick or two — in fall. Foliage and grassy flowers make a floral display or flower girl basket bloom in a winter wedding.

• Go green. Looking for an alternative to traditional wedding flower arrangements? Try pots filled with greenery. A great option for an outdoor wedding, they go well with garland woven with twinkle lights. Bonus: Your guests can take home the greenery as wedding favors when the wedding reception is over!
