Pre-Wedding Ideas Turn into a Beautifully Styled Event

You are getting married and all those exciting wedding preparations are just beginning. The experts at Flowers On Oxford suggest that the bride and groom come in for a pre-wedding consultation at least six weeks prior to ‘the big day’.

The Florist Pre-Wedding Consultation

A pre-wedding consultation with a florist Brisbane is all about getting to know the personality of a bride and groom, and painting a picture of how this special day is to be styled.

At the first consultation, Flowers On Oxford ask the bride and groom questions about the bridal dress, colour theme for the wedding, favourite flowers, and about the space in which the event will take place. All these details allow their florists to establish a vision for the day, which will influence the wedding’s floral arrangements.

The aid of magazine ‘cut outs’ and photographic images of the bridal dress, the bridal parties’ attire, colouring of table cloths, and a few magazine clippings of floral bouquets are all great tools that can help their expert floral designers to define your style, whether it be minimalist or maximalist, modern, retro or antique.

From the collected information, Flowers On Oxford’s florists will then take you through a journey of discussions regarding flower species and colours that are currently in season and which would best suit your theme. Their floral designers will also discuss the amount of bouquets, button holes, corsages and floral arrangements required and, of course, the cost associated with your selection.

The Flowers are Booked – Now for a Behind the Scenes Tour

Whilst the bride and groom are busy making other wedding arrangements, the florists are hard at work sourcing the flowers from local growers to ensure that the best quality flowers, and the correct flower species and colours will be available for your wedding.

All wedding flowers are booked in with a grower a few weeks prior to collection at the markets, and in some cases the flowers that have been ordered, are grown from seed just for your special occasion.

Flowers On Oxford also contact other parties such as the ceremony location, wedding reception venue and cake designer in order to arrange delivery, and to discuss the set up of your flowers.

The floral designers at Flowers On Oxford make every effort to ensure that all décor, which complements the floral arrangements, will seamlessly fall into place for the wedding day.

The Floral Extravaganza Begins

It is early morning on the day of the wedding. Whist ‘the bride and groom’ are enjoying a sleep in, Flowers On Oxford florists are already at the markets collecting the flowers from numerous growers for the wedding. In some cases the volume of flowers collected for a wedding can fill an entire van. Once

their van is loaded, the race begins to get back to their store to make up the wedding and reception arrangements.

The vibe within their florist stores whilst floral arrangements are being made for a wedding is a mixture of high concentration and excitement. For a florist, designing a wedding bouquet is a showcase of technique and a chance to enjoy designing an arrangement with the highest of quality flowers. Floral wedding arrangements can take a few hours per bouquet.

Each bunch of flowers purchased from the markets is inspected to ensure that only the most perfect blooms are used. The flowers are divided between each of the bouquets and arrangements, and then are carefully designed and placed into position. Once designed, the floral arrangements are placed neatly into a series of packing boxes so that they can be delivered with ease.

Because it’s all about You

At Flowers On Oxford the floral designers enjoy hearing about the experience of the newlyweds after the wedding and reception event have passed. They also enjoy seeing photos of the wedding and how all of the styling ideas came together to create the perfect day.
