1. Trust Your Florist
Finding a Palm Beach wedding florist that can bring your style to life is essential to a successful wedding day. Also, they should be someone you trust to run with your vision. This wedding party had a blast with their tropical bouquets at their Jupiter Lighthouse wedding.
2. Seasonal Flowers
When selecting your Palm Beach wedding flowers, you need to be aware of the types of flowers that are in season. Being in Florida, you have to keep in mind the types of flowers that do best in the heat. Check out this great article for more info. We love outdoor ceremonies and receptions like this one at Wanderers Club in Wellington.
3. Seasonal Color Scheme
This goes hand in hand with tip #2. When selecting your color scheme, think about the time of year of your Palm Beach wedding. Available flowers usually come in the colors of the season, so it could be difficult to get summer colored flowers for a December wedding.
4. Don’t Fight the Venue
One of the first wedding decisions is the venue. When picking your venue, pick a Palm Beach wedding venue that will match your style. For example, if you want a garden-inspired flowers, you should avoid nautical-themed venues. This will make the entire wedding planning process easier. This beautiful space can be found at Sailfish Marina in Singer Island.
5. Be Realistic with the Budget
We all love garden roses and peonies. They are gorgeous! However, they are not budget friendly flowers. Make sure to speak with your Palm Beach wedding florist about what flowers will work best for your vision and budget. Grandview Public Market’s feature wall was a perfect backdrop for this bride.
6. Outside Weddings
Being in our little slice of paradise, having an outdoor Palm Beach wedding ceremony and/or reception is popular. When planning an outdoor event, consider your floral choices and your guests. If it’s warm out, it will affect your guests and flowers. You’ll need to plan accordingly. This backyard wedding utilized tropical greens and bougainvillea to keep the arch looking fresh.
7. Time of Day
Remember to check out the time of sunset on your wedding day. If you are envisioning a romantic, candlelit ceremony aisle, you need to have your wedding ceremony at a time when you can see those beautiful candles. This wedding at Ballpark of the Palm Beaches was a great spot for a pre-sunset reception.
8. Always Get a Planner… and Trust Your Vendors!
It goes without saying that wedding planning can get stressful. Having an experienced Palm Beach wedding planner in your corner will help alleviate some of that stress. Also, trust in your vendors experience and advice. They just want you to have the best wedding ever! These beautiful tablescapes at a home wedding in Jupiter came to life with the help of the planner and florist.
