Sakura flower wedding –

Amidst dresses, tuxedos, guest lists, invitations, receptions, and locations for the actual ceremony, choosing the right wedding flowers can be one of the most important decisions. With a little work, and the help of a good wedding florist, it's easy to get flowers that will be both memorable and reflect the personality of those in the wedding. While the process of selecting flowers can seem a bit overwhelming, if you keep a few things in mind it can help to save you time and, more importantly, money.

Keep the date in mind
Keeping the date of your wedding in mind is key to selecting your flowers. Spring and summer are ideal for using flowers like orchids, hydrangeas, roses, and lilies, while autumn and winter are better suited to roses, lilies, narcissus, gardenia, mums and poinsettias .Just remember, you won't be able to find all the flowers you want year round.

Set your budget early
Figure out your budget, be upfront with your florist, and from there you can figure out what flowers you like the most and what is available during the time of the year you're getting married. Don't wait until the last minute to order your flowers.

Match your colors
"White is always most popular for brides. Sharon Mayer of Vogue Flowers in Richmond, Virginia said when asked about the current trends in flower colors. Picking out the right color really depends on the themes and colors you've picked out for your invitations, cake, etc. and whether you want to match the dominant color or accent it with something else.

Location is important
When picking the flowers that are right for your wedding, it's a good idea to keep in mind where the wedding will be held. If the wedding is going to be outside, floral arches, columns, blooming plants and garden flowers are a great way to add a nice touch to the wedding. Beach weddings can be enhanced by simple flowers with bright colors or exotic and unique flowers that really complement the beach setting.

Pick the type that's right for you

Orchids, tulips, hydrangeas, daffodils, and even more exotic and unique flowers are making their way into weddings everywhere. With a variety of colors and shapes, orchids have quickly become a highly popular flower for everything from centerpieces and bridal bouquets to the corsages and boutonnieres.

There's nothing wrong with trading out the white rose for a purple orchid if it matches your wedding better.
