Flowers by the Numbers

Flowers at a wedding are a must.  Your bridal party flowers will be in your pictures forever, so be careful of your choices.  You want to look back and think that your bouquets were absolutely beautiful!

  • 101,791 were the number of roses in the world's largest bouquet recorded to date. 
  • 62% of wedding include a petal throwing flower girl.
  • $202,000.00 is the cost of the world's most expensive flower; an orchid sold at auction in 2005.
Don't purchase your flowers by the flower "stem," rather, by the look, feel and style.  If your style is simple, then let your bouquet reflect that.  A single blossom in a smaller mass tied with a double satin-faced ribbon perhaps.  If your look is over-the-top, then orchids and roses in a spectacular cascading fashion may catch your heart.  Remember that your florals will only be as good as your florist that you choose.  Choose wisely.  The most expensive is not always the best and vice versa.  Ask to see their work.   Do they sound like that know what they are talking about?  Do they see your vision?  Do they understand what you are asking for?  Do you have utter confidence in thier ability?
