Think of your floral decoration in three steps! All the advice from Flavia & Edina, from La Maison Dautel
Floral decoration is often the heart of wedding decoration. Indeed, what could be more wonderful and romantic than an event that blooms with generosity?
Before imagining the floral decoration of your dreams, consider three essential steps:
1/ Your wedding floral decoration budget
Defining your budget is essential when choosing a professional. In fact, it’s on the basis of your budget that he’ll be able to make you a tailor-made proposal adapted to your budget. It also means making compromises between your inspirations and the reality of flower costs, which are all too often overlooked.
Our two florists from La Maison Dautel have noticed that future brides and grooms generally draw their inspiration from social networks (Pinterest, Instagram…), without suspecting that the images circulating highlight weddings where the floral decoration alone very often exceeds a budget of €10,000!
2/ Flower seasons
The seasons are at the heart of a floral designer’s work. There are two main reasons for this: to respect nature, and to keep floral decoration costs down. The more you opt for out-of-season flowers, the higher the costs. For example, you won’t find peonies in December or buttercups in June. If you want a particular flower in your wedding decorations, think about the season in which it’s produced, and set your wedding date accordingly.
Once again, social networks are often treacherous when it comes to finding inspiration. It’s best to ask your floral designer for advice. At La Maison Dautel, we systematically include a floral board with seasonal flowers and plants with our inspiration boards, so that our future brides and grooms can plan ahead.
3/ The style of floral decoration of your dreams
Define in a few lines the atmosphere and colors you want for your wedding. This is to ensure a common thread and coherence between all the elements that make up your decor. An experienced floral designer will ask you to send him visuals of all the elements on the table, to match the floral atmosphere, the containers… to your wedding decoration. At La Maison Dautel, we also offer an event designer service for our future brides and grooms. They can therefore rely on our expertise, entrusting us with the entire decoration of their wedding. We select the right service providers for the right atmosphere: graphic designer, calligrapher, furniture rental, guest gifts…
