How to Choose the Flowers for Reception Halls

Planning a wedding is not easy to do and can be frustrating when faced with all the decisions that need to be made. Every bride wants her wedding to be a day she will always remember. There is so much that has to be done and everything should be well thought out.

Making arrangements for a wedding is more than just picking out the perfect wedding gown. The reception is what most of the guests will remember. Determining what type of flowers to use in the hall is very important.

• Take time to determine how much money you can afford to spend on flowers. This will be beneficial on narrowing down your choices.


• Choose flowers and colors that will complement your wedding bouquet. As long as the colors complement each other the types of flowers don't matter.


• Choose flowers that are appropriate for the location you choose. Avoid using outdoor flowers for a reception that is being held on the inside.


• Choose containers for the flowers that are appropriate. If you are going to be using long stem flowers you should use tall vases.


• Choose flowers that will last for several days and will not wilt when put in floral foam.


• Choose flowers that are in season because they will be easier to find and far less expensive. You will also have a better variety of flowers to pick from.


• Choose larger flowers instead of small ones because you will need less of them to decorate the hall.


• Consult with your local florist and get some recommendations on what type of flowers will fit you needs and your budget.
