Wedding decorations, what style to choose?
Need some floral inspiration?
Today we will discuss the questions we ask every bride we meet:
“What will your wedding style be?”
“How do you want your guests to feel at your wedding?”
This information is important, it helps us to give context and direction to the planned party as well choose flowers and combine them to best reflect the vision that couples have for their wedding. Flowers have a unique way of setting the tone for a space and we love to set it on such an important day for our couples.
Sometimes the bride knows her style perfectly and knows exactly what kind of decorations they want for their wedding. They often have photos of specific inspirations ready. Sometimes, however, it's not that easy and couples like a few different styles, or can't decide what suits them.
At Flower Store, we love helping young couples discover the style they want.
