Know Your Blooms:

Delphiniums? Leucadendron? When discussing with your florist what you would like your wedding bouquets to contain, it’s a great idea to know the names of the flowers you like best.

Communication is key, so a little research will go a long way! The best part is you don’t even have to look far, as there’s a handy list of all the flower names (including photos) available on their website.

Check the availability:

Before you get your heart too set on a particular type of flower, it’s best to check their availability. Don’t forget that flowers are very much like fruit – they can either be ‘in season’ and at their best or ‘out of season’ and not available.

Find out which style suits you best:

Whether you focus on your personal taste or the theme of your wedding décor, it’s great to narrow down this ‘look’ into one that will also translate to your wedding bouquet. For example, would you like a rustic vintage style, or perhaps you’re more interested in a country French inspired look. For some wedding flower style ideas the Tesselaar Flowers website can also help you out.

Ask questions of the supplier:

You don’t want to make incorrect assumptions about your wedding flower supplier, nor do you want anything to go wrong with your flowers at the last minute!

To avoid any confusion or unnecessary issues, it’s vital that you ask some of the following questions to your supplier:

• Do they deliver to your location or does someone have to pick them up from a certain location?
• Are the flowers delivered in water to keep them as fresh as possible? The way that your flowers are stored during transportation and delivery can be the difference between days of stunning flowers and an evening of wilted centrepieces.
• Are their staff trained florists?

Take care of your wedding flowers to keep them in beautiful condition for as long as possible:

When you initially receive your flowers, store them in the coolest part of your house and avoid over handling them. With frequent touching or moving of the flowers, it could bruise or loosen the petals (which is not a good look for your big day!).

Avoid placing the bouquets on any surface, and instead transport them in cardboard boxes with them sitting upright on the way to the ceremony. If you can transport the flowers in water, that’s even better to keep them as fresh as possible.
