Montreal wedding florists add life to every aspect of your special day. Imagine a bride walking down the aisle without a bouquet? Wouldn't the tables at the reception look bare without floral centerpieces? Florists help you find beautiful flowers to compliment every element of your wedding day.
Pull out all the stops when you look for a Montreal wedding florist. Talk to friends, family, co-workers and neighbors about florists they use. Read reviews of Montreal wedding florists online and in the local newspapers. Visit the florist to see examples of their work and talk about what they can do for you. Be honest about your budget and the right florist will help you achieve your goals.
An easy way to save money on your wedding flowers in Montreal is to choose them in season. Exotic flowers and out-of-season flowers cost more money. Plus, using seasonal flowers adds a consistent feeling to your wedding surroundings. Here are a few top flower choices based on season:
Spring: White casa blanca lily, yellow daffodil, white narcissus, green bells of Ireland and white and violet lilacs.
Summer:White tuberose, purple English lavender, yellow sunflower, blue forget-me-not and pink and white Oriental lilies.
Fall: Dahlia or chrysanthemum in a rainbow of colors, white and pink aster and red, yellow and orange marigold.
Winter: White jasmine, white Star of Bethlehem, red and white amaryllis, white and red poinsettia, white and pink star gazer lily.
In today's economy, anyone who can afford the wedding flowers usually pays for them. Traditionally speaking, the groom pays for the bridal bouquet, corsages and boutonnieres. The family of the bride pays for the flower girl's flowers, house of worship flowers and bouquets for the bridesmaids.
A Montreal wedding florist will help you determine the flowers you need based on your wedding party, ceremony and reception. Consider a basic list:
 - bride's flowers including bouquet, throwaway bouquet and flowers for her hair
 - bridesmaid's bouquets and hairpieces
 - flower girl flowers and headpiece
 - corsages for mothers, stepmothers and grandmothers
 - boutonnieres for the groom, groomsmen, fathers, stepfathers and grandfathers
 - ceremonial flowers for the house of worship including candles and pew decorations
 - wedding reception flowers including centerpieces, archways, cake decorations and table decorations.
Some brides or grooms have allergies to live flowers. Certain Montreal wedding florists will help you create stunning silk flower arrangements for your wedding. Silk flowers are available in all types and colors to suit every wedding theme. Silk flowers are also timeless. After the wedding, you can incorporate your silk wedding flowers into the design of your new home.
Did you know flowers have their own language of love? That's right, just like the line your future husband used to grab your heart, flowers talk their own romantic lingo. When you choose Montreal wedding flowers, consider a few Victorian romance meanings for them:
Amaryllis: proud
Baby's breath: innocent heart
Calla lily: incredibly beautiful
Carnation: fidelity (gotta love that one – they are also the cheapest flowers and available in all colors)
Daffodil: devotion
Gardenia: pure joy
Lilac: first love
Orchid: beautiful love
pea: total bliss
Your Montreal wedding florist will help you pick the perfect floral arrangements for your special day.
