I'm thinking of having a shower bouquet for my wedding, but am worried about it being really heavy. I went to a friend's wedding last year and her arms were shaking under the weight of her bouquet. Is this normal?
Flowowers replies:
Shower bouquets can be heavy, but the average size shower bouquet is no heavier than an average sized handtied. However, if you are contemplating a floor-length shower bouquet, it's probably time to start building up your arm muscles!
Claire and Will write:
Thankyou very mush for providing us with such beautiful flowers for our wedding. Everything was perfect - the bouquets, buttonholes ,table decorations. We were complimented many times by our guests on how nice the arrangements were, and the hypericum berries threaded on the grass in particular were very popular. We enjoyed every minute of our wedding day and were sorry when it had to come to an end.
Thankyou again.
Flowowers replies:
And thank you, Claire and Will, for taking the time to get in touch - it is greatly appreciated. Our very best wishes for the future.

I have a problem. I would like my wedding flowers to mean something to myself and my husband to be. I’ve heard that some flowers have different symbolic meanings but don’t know what they are - please can you help me?
Flowowers replies:
Using flowers with a symbolic meaning is a great way to emphasize your love for each other. Here are a few examples to get you started:
camellia - perfect loveliness
hyacinth - playfulness
ivy - fidelity
lily of the valley - happiness
mimosa - secret love
orchid - beauty
red rose - love
white rose - peace and tranquility
You could even choose to spell out your partners name in the flowers you choose. For example, Peter: Paeonia, Eryngium Thistle, Tulips, Echinops, and Roses.

I’ve been told that blue flowers are a difficult colour flower to find. What would you recommend for me, so that I can keep my blue theme.
Flowowers replies:
No need for you to feel blue! There are naturally blue flowers, but they are called soft flowers. This means they don’t last out of water for a whole day. I would recommend bringing the blue theme into your flowers by using wires, ribbons, feathers, beads or diamanté droplets to carry the blue theme through.

I can’t decide whether to have a traditional shower bouquet or a hand tie style bouquet. What would you suggest?
Flowowers replies:
A traditional shower bouquet works in the same way as the pin stripe effect in that if you are of a smaller build it will elongate you and your dress. A hand tied bouquet in the right proportion can be just as flattering as long as it is the right size for you.
Julie writes:
I am concerned about my table arrangements as my budget is limited. Can you suggest something simple but eye catching?
Flowowers replies:
A single flower in the right vase on each table can look just as effective when the same flower is used throughout the whole theme of the wedding. This is a simple, stylish solution for those on a restricted budget.
Ursula writes:
How far in advance should I book my florist?
Flowowers replies:
A good florist can book over a year in advance. You don’t have to decide on the flowers you would like until approximately three months before your wedding day. Just make sure you choose a florist you can trust.
