Choosing Your Beach Wedding Flowers

One of the many decisions you'll make when planning your Florida Wedding on the Beach is what type flowers you want in your bouquet. This seems simple enough, right? Especially with all the dreamy pictures of bridal bouquets on the Internet! I mean, you can find so many gorgeous pictures of bouquets filled with Hydrangea, Calla Lillies, Peonies, and Tulips to name a few. One might think it would be as simple as finding a picture and saying "I want this one"...kind of like shopping from a catalog.

 There is one little fact that these beautiful pictures fail to mention. A lot of these flowers are grown in cooler climates.  Florida has beautiful, sunny, tropical weather most of the year and in some months the temperatures can reach above 90 degrees. This is in important fact to take into consideration when choosing your beach wedding flowers. The flowers you choose for your Florida Beach Wedding must be hearty enough to withstand even a small amount of time out in the sun. Hydrangea's for example, will start to wilt soon after being exposed to the heat. Flowers like Roses and Daisies are a much heartier flower and can withstand the heat longer.

Some of our packages come with a bouquet of hand tied Roses. I am sometimes asked if the Roses can be substituted for another flower. My answer is always the same, "Yes it can but, choose your flowers wisely" Whatever you choose, it must be able to withstand the heat. Gerber Daisies are usually a good substitute if they are in season.
