Don't attempt to do your own flowers. You may think it's easy and simple but flowers are growing things.

They can look fresh but aren't, even from a market. They can die within hours, needed to be hydrated in different ways,

are very temperamental with different climates. Most need to be purchased 5 days prior, open naturally and kept in a cool room.

Don't get your flowers delivered too early on the day. The longer they are in a coolroom at the right temp, the longer you will have them

on the day/ night. Don't choose your florist on price. I know that everyone has a budget, but cheapest is definitely not always best.

Find a supplier who has experience, will talk to you not just email, look at their real wedding work, and you feel comfortable with.

This is one of the biggest days of your life, your photos are your memories, your flowers are so important, choose wisely.

Do's , take the time to look at a lot of themes to see what you love. There are many trends but you are best to have what suits

your personality. Do think about the season. If you are set on a certain flower or colour make sure it's available. Do allow enough

money for your dream to come to life. When the drinks are drunk and the food is eaten, there is your memories, the photos and

videos and what's in them. Do have the best time, choose what you love , choose the vendors with excitement to work with you !

? Do use professional-grade stands, arches, hoops, and plinths designed to support fresh flowers and water. These ensure stability against the weight, wind, uneven ground and allow for more fuller designs.

? Don’t rely on cheap online options meant for balloons or faux flowers. Many of these can’t handle the weight of real flowers and water, leading to design limitations or, worse, collapse on your big day.
