Wedding date and location
During
the holiday season many couples decide to get married. Boyfriends use their holiday gifts as a way to
make a marriage proposal to their girlfriends.
Once the holidays are finally over it’s time to decide on a wedding date
and location.
My
experience is that many couples forget to consider many important aspects of the date and location they
choose especially when it come to the decorations that they are dreaming of for
their special event.
Most
flowers will cost more near holidays not only in your country but in other
countries. When there is a special
holiday in France, flowers will be more costly worldwide. If there is a bank holiday on a Friday and
you are getting married on the weekend many flowers may not last well from the
days before the holiday to your wedding date.
Make sure to ask your floral designer about these issues.
For
those of you considering a destination wedding it is even more important that
you carefully think through your decorative dreams and the location you want
for your wedding date. If you love the
English Garden style remember that warm weather locations like Italy or Spain
are not your best choices. Also ask the location
or florist about holidays near the date that you are choosing for your wedding.
For Example, most of Italy is on vacation during August and in particular
August 15th almost everything is completely shut down.
Before
you set your date and choose your location please be sure to consider your
decorative dreams and the availability of flowers at that time.
The photos are Borgo di Tragliata and Villa Palazzola. I would love to meet with you to help guide you through the selection process even before you make that final decision.
All the best,
Debra
Wedding planning season has begun in Italy and with it many cities host one or more Bridal Fairs. Organizing for a fair is such a challenge. Not only does it require that I find some creative idea that will capture the attention of thousands of tired fair goers but also to create something that will last the five days of the show but will showcase my skills as a designer and florist. Then comes the managerial and marketing work. Even though I have specialists who handle these responsibilities, I believe it’s important that I am involved in the process.
The big news??? I included feathers in my designs which is an item normally not seen in Italian weddings. It was interesting to see the reaction of the younger brides to this “NEW” idea. I was personally surprised to learn that many couples have planned to get married during 2011 in the garden.
