When you are ordering flowers for your wedding, it requires careful planning to ensure availability and to allow enough time for me to prepare the arrangements. Here’s a general timeline to follow:

6-9 Months Before the Wedding

  • Research and Consultation: Begin researching the flowers and styles you like and schedule a consultation with me. This gives us time to discuss your vision, and understand the requirements.
  • Book Your Wedding Florist: Secure Garden of Eden as your Wedding Florist as soon as possible, especially if your wedding is during peak the wedding season (spring and summer). We are a popular florist and can book up quickly.

4-6 Months Before the Wedding

  • Finalise Designs and Flowers: We will work together with you to finalise the design and selection of flowers. This includes determining the types of flowers, colour scheme, and specific arrangements needed for the ceremony and reception.
  • Confirm Details: Ensure all details such as delivery times, setup requirements, and breakdown services are confirmed with us.

1-2 Months Before the Wedding

  • Review and Adjust: Touch base with me to review the final details and make any necessary adjustments. This is also a good time to confirm the final guest count and make any changes to the number of centrepieces or other floral arrangements.

1 Week Before the Wedding

  • Final Check-In: Have a final check-in with me to ensure everything is on track. Confirm delivery times and any last-minute details.

Important Considerations

  • Seasonal Flowers: If you have your heart set on specific seasonal flowers, discuss this with me nice and early to understand the availability of these and potential substitutes if necessary.
  • Budget: Finalise your budget early and communicate this with me to avoid any surprises.
  • Flexibility: Be prepared to be flexible with your choices in case certain flowers are unavailable or out of season. The flower markets are busy and forever changing and your cooperation and understanding here is a huge help.

By following this timeline, you can ensure that your wedding flowers are beautifully arranged and stress-free on your special day.

Preserving your wedding bouquet is a wonderful way to keep the memories of your special day alive. Here are some popular methods to preserve your wedding bouquet:

Air Drying

Pros: Simple and cost-effective.
Cons: Flowers may become brittle and lose some colour.

  1. Prepare the Flowers: Remove any wilting petals and leaves.
  2. Tie the Stems: Use a rubber band or string to tie the stems together.
  3. Hang Upside Down: Hang the bouquet upside down in a cool, dry, and dark place. This helps to retain the color and shape.
  4. Wait: Leave the bouquet to dry for about 2-3 weeks.
  5. Spray with Hairspray: Once dried, spray the bouquet with a light mist of hairspray to protect it.

Silica Gel Drying

Pros: Better colour retention and flowers maintain their shape.
Cons: Can be more expensive and requires careful handling.

  1. Prepare the Flowers: Trim the stems and remove unwanted leaves.
  2. Fill a Container with Silica Gel: Place a layer of silica gel at the bottom of an airtight container.
  3. Bury the Flowers: Place the flowers in the container and gently cover them with more silica gel.
  4. Seal and Wait: Seal the container and let it sit for 1-2 weeks.
  5. Brush Off Silica Gel: Carefully remove the flowers and brush off any remaining silica gel.

Pressing

Pros: Great for creating keepsakes like framed art.
Cons: Flowers become flat and lose their three-dimensional appearance.

  1. Prepare the Flowers: Trim the stems and remove excess leaves.
  2. Place in a Book: Arrange the flowers between the pages of a heavy book. Use parchment paper to protect the book pages.
  3. Weight it Down: Place more books or a heavy object on top to add pressure.
  4. Wait: Leave for 2-3 weeks.
  5. Frame or Store: Once dried, you can frame the pressed flowers or store them in a keepsake box.

Professional Preservation

Pros: High-quality results and various display options.
Cons: Can be expensive.

  1. Find a Professional: Research companies that specialise in flower preservation.
  2. Choose a Method: Options include freeze-drying, encasing in resin, or shadow box framing.
  3. Send the Bouquet: Follow the company’s instructions for sending the bouquet.
  4. Receive the Finished Product: The company will preserve the flowers and return the finished product to you.

Tips for Preserving Your Wedding Bouquet

  • Start Early: Begin the preservation process as soon as possible after the wedding to retain the flowers’ freshness.
  • Handle with Care: Be gentle with the flowers to avoid damaging them.
  • Store Properly: Once preserved, keep the flowers in a safe place away from direct sunlight and humidity to prevent fading and damage.

By choosing one of these methods, you can create a beautiful and lasting memento of your wedding day that you can cherish for years to come.
