If you are having a Spring wedding, it's likely that one of the few things you have left to do is make a final decision on your flowers. If this is the case, you're in a good position! Since you've gotten some of the more stressful items out of the way, take time to enjoy sit back and ahem- smell the roses...

Before you do anything, you'll have to have a budget for your flowers. Remember that this will include your bouquet, your bridesmaids bouquets, groomsmen, ring bearer and usher boutonnieres, parent's flowers, grandparents flowers, wedding centerpieces, flower girl petals and any other items that you'll want flowers for. So make sure that you take all these into account when setting your budget for wedding flowers.

Next, do your research. Look around online or ask friends who have gotten married about their florists. Compare rates, reviews, years in business and options that they offer. It's a general rule of thumb that if you're trying to cut on costs, choose flowers that are in season. Flowers that are in season in Spring include: Daffodil, Anemones, Lilacs, Boronias, Star Gazer Lilies, Delphiniums, Narcissus, Sweetpeas, Ranunculus, and Tulips (to name a few).

Whether you are on a tight budget or not, flowers add a gorgeous touch to any wedding. Even if you choose to use fake flowers, take your time and really put together some bouquets that you'll love to have on display for your wedding day.

Brides can incorporate pink wedding flowers with so many fantastic color schemes so I thought I'd put together a collage of some of my favorite bridal bouquet and reception centerpiece selections. Whether you are having a pink and white; pink and chocolate; pink, black and white; or a pink-accented weddings, you have numerous choices when it comes to pink flowers. Pink is a classic, feminine flower choice that is known to signify love and romance so what better choice for a wedding?

You can see some of my favorite pink flower choices in the photo below.  If you are on a budget like most brides, then you should consider the season when selecting your pink flowers.  For instance, tulips are obviously much more affordable in the Spring, while hydrangea blooms are more affordable in mid to late summer.  Other lovely choices include gerbera daisies, carnations, stargazer lilies (my favorite), peonies and of course roses.  Pink flowers also work well in mixed bouquets when you want to incorporate a few other colors.  Their versatility makes pink one of the most popular colors for bridal flowers today.  And how appropriate that this is being posted on Valentine's Day....the perfect day for pink!
