Blooms That Make A Statement: Why Wedding Flowers Deserve Their Priority
In the whirlwind of wedding planning, many couples underestimate the profound impact of floral design. For discerning New England couples, flowers aren't mere decorations—they're investments that craft the visual narrative of your celebration.
The Impact Worth Investing In
When guests enter your venue, flowers create that crucial first impression. For busy professionals balancing careers and wedding planning, flowers might seem like an area to economize, but consider this: allocating 8-10% of your budget toward floral design transforms your entire celebration. For perspective, a $100,000 wedding warrants around $15,000 for florals, while a $200,000 celebration might dedicate $30,000 toward these unforgettable elements.
Vermont's Seasonal Advantage
Vermont's wedding season (May-October) offers distinct botanical options:
Spring: Trillium, wild lupine, and red columbine
Summer: Wild bergamot, butterfly weed, and scarlet beebalm
Fall: New England aster, goldenrod, and gray-headed coneflower
Winter weddings offer their own magic with evergreen boughs, white amaryllis, anemones, and ranunculus creating breathtaking contrast against our snow-covered landscape.
