Fresh wedding flowers are the traditional route. The exquisite way that the scent of a rose or lilac can fill a room draws many people to using real flowers. Scents are often tied to emotions, and as a wedding is one of the most emotion-filled events a person can ever experience, the emotional factor is another selling point.

You can either get a professional florist to do the flowers or you can have 'do- it-yourself' wedding flowers and get the help of a friend or relative. Ideally, your wedding florist will have vast previous experience as a florist, and will have many wedding photographs of previous wedding flower arrangements and bridal
bouquets. Make sure that the pictures show all the bridal
bouquets and centerpieces from a particular wedding.
Make sure that the florist is receptive to your ideas, and that they are willing to listen to your vision. You can source flower arrangement ideas from online wedding flower arrangement sites as well as wedding flower magazine pictures. You can have a lot of fun watching Martha Stewart make gorgeous creations for a wide variety of weddings on Martha's Complete Weddings.
