WEDDING FLOWER PREPARATION

Dear brides to be,

I wanted to give you a little bit of insight about your beautiful wedding flowers for the big day and how this works.

When should you order your wedding flowers? This answer depends on the scale of flower coverage you want at your wedding. Flowers make the biggest impact at a wedding over all. It should be about ⅓ of your wedding day set up costs. For example: A small wedding with 4-5 bouquets, a flower girl’s basket with rose petals, 5-10 boutonnieres, 5 corsages and some flower petals to scatter on the ground. Throw in a cake table flower garland and maybe one for the sweetheart table as well. This flower preparation can be completed in a month’s time. I say a month because I also have other flower work to do. However, ordering the flowers, checking to make sure the flowers that arrive are the quality expected, and the order is correct. Any needed changes or problems will take double the time. It is best even with a small wedding to start as early as possible, minimum 4 months early, if possible.

On to bigger weddings: When you get into all of the beautiful flowers for the ceremony area/altar, all the reception tables, cake table, and the bride & groom sweetheart table or head table for the entire wedding party; this takes some serious planning and ordering time. Don’t forget, quite a bit of time to create all of these amazing arrangements. Plus, all of those lovely flowers we have spoken of, above, already. A larger wedding, I would definitely say plan and order a year in advance. If that’s not possible, get with me and we will work it out. It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve lost sleep or the last! Lol

Now we can talk about the gala event of grand weddings: huge staircases with amazing roses and/or hydrangeas lining the steps as it curves into the ceremony area. Many candelabras flickering, large floral centerpieces along isleways. Extravagent floral displays at the altar. Flowers and candles throughout long hallways leading guests into the banquet hall; where every table in the room is trimmed in gold or silver with lush flowers and greenery. It doesn’t stop there, the florals and greenery are even draping elegantly from above. Maybe an orchestra will be performing for the evening along with fine cuisine and champagne. I believe angels will be singing over this amazing wedding cake and floral centerpiece!

Yeah, I will have to call in some serious back up on this gala event wedding! At that point: Hi, my name is Cheryl, and I will be your personal florist for the next couple of years!! ❤️LOL

Explore the Advantages of Silk Flowers

Explore the advantages of silk flowers over fresh blooms for weddings, parties, gifts, and home decoration. Discover custom options at Heavenly Silk Flowers with expert designer Cheryl Sims. Flowers can light up any occasion, bringing elegance, color, and joy wherever they are displayed. Whether it’s a beutiful wedding, a lovely party, a sweet gift, or simple happy home decoration, flowers have a unique ability to enhance our experiences. Over the past 20 years, I, Cheryl Sims, have created lovely silk flower arrangements inspired by God’s beautiful creations. Today, I want to share why silk flowers are an excellent alternative to traditional fresh flowers for various occasions. 1. Enduring Beauty One of the most compelling reasons to choose silk flowers is their longevity. Fresh flowers can look spectacular upon arrival, but their beauty diminishes quickly, often wilting within days. In contrast, silk flowers are crafted to maintain their vibrant colors and stunning shapes for years. This makes them especially ideal for those unforgettable moments in life—moments that you want to be visually captured forever.
