Your Westminster Florist for Those Unusual Wedding Floral Needs

Westminster Florist - tradition

When you book your Westminster Florist for your wedding, you are likely thinking only of the traditional floral displays such as the bride’s bouquet and the table decorations. However, there is more than that.

Westminster lies to the north west of Orange County, California, bordering on Seal Beach and Huntington Beach, though it does not have a beach of its own, being an inland city. However, there is no reason why a Westminster resident should not have a beach wedding if he or she wishes, and no reason why a Westminster Florist should not provide the flowers. It is not far to the Ocean from Westminster.

So what more than the traditional wedding flowers should you be asking your Westminster Florist about? In addition to table decorations for the reception, there are centerpieces and possibly wedding favors. Many people give candles and bombonières as favors, but many others provide small flower arrangements or posies for each guest. If the idea appeals to you, it is something you can discuss with your florist.

Other uses of flowers at a wedding included hair decorations. The bride or bridesmaids frequently wear floral hair decorations, specifically designed to complement their hair style and their dress, and the flowers can be chosen to go with those in the bouquets. Other flowers can worn on the dresses as corsages, although you really want to avoid too much use of flowers. If you are wearing hair decorations, then try to avoid also wearing a floral decoration on your dress. It would be too much. This is another of these aspects of your floral requirements that you should discuss with your Westminster Florist, since they have the experience that you do not.

However, even these are considered to more traditional that unusual. Here are one or two that might not have occurred to you. The gift table at the reception, and the guest book table. Many brides offer a table at the reception for gifts handed in then, and also a table holding the guest book, so that guests can provide a signature and perhaps a few comments. Some brides also hire a guest book attendant to look after it. Both of these tables should be decorated with a nice, but unimposing, floral decoration by your Westminster Florist.

Westminster Florist - rehearsal

Few will have considered the rehearsal dinner. You might want some floral decorations from your Westminster Florist there, especially if you are having a formal dinner with a few relatives present. You might also be having a flavor party, where a group of you get together to choose the flavors of the wedding cake. This is relatively new, but are growing as it becomes popular for the various tiers of the wedding cake to be baked in different flavors. It is also common to order flowers for this.

These last two are still a bit avante garde, but relevant nevertheless. Others of the more unusual uses of flowers at a wedding include the floral table decorations that break up into several smaller floral favors that each guest can take home. This is a version of the straight floral favor, except it ensures that there will be sufficient on each table to allow every guest one that wants one.

If you are having a beach wedding, you will need specific types of decorations. Your floral arrangements will have to be in tubs, unless the wedding venue already supplies the flowers. Many don’t and you should check up on that when you book the venue. Many of the public beaches in Orange County have areas set aside specifically for weddings , although you generally have to provide your own floral decorations. This is something that your Westminster Florist should know, so take her advice on this.

Westminster Florist - venue

The same is true of a park wedding. There are a few park venues in or around Westminster, and again your Westminster Florist will be able to help you here. If are getting married in the late spring or summer, you might not need any flowers, since the park will likely have plenty already there. That is something to keep in mind if you want to save money in flowers: if you are getting married in a park, then do it in the summertime when there are lots of beautiful blooms already growing.

These are the more unusual types of floral decoration or arrangements that you might have to ask your Westminster Florist to look after for you, and make sure that you check on the price before booking them since such floral additions can add quite a bit to the total florist’s bill. However, it is difficult to beat beautiful flowers in season to brighten up any occasion, especially a wedding and all the other social functions that go with it.
