Church
The decoration of the church should be discussed with minister at the first meeting to find out what the church's policy is. Some churches will not allow flowers to be brought in, especially during certain religious events throughout the year. I am happy to liaise with the church minister to see if there are any restrictions.

When the church is hosting more than one wedding on the same day there may not be time to change the floral arrangements. I am happy to speak with the other wedding parties to arrange the flowers, the cost of which can be divided amongst the couples
If you have very specific ideas about the way they want to decorate the church it may be advisable to choose a less popular day, when yours will be the only wedding taking place in the church.

Decorating the church can be done the day before the wedding.
It is a shame if these flowers are only seen for a short time, so I suggest that some are moved to the wedding reception.

Register Office
Because weddings take place in Register Offices every day they are suitably decorated and most will have at least one flower arrangement. Registrars may also allow further displays to be brought in but this should be discussed with the Registrar's office. The main concern is that setting up displays does not disturb other ceremonies taking place on the same day.

Flowers at the Reception
Most venues will allow the couple to supply their own floral decorations. I work with the management to arrange a convenient time to set up the displays, so it does not inconvenience the catering arrangements.

To give that ‘wow’ factor many people have a large display just inside the entrance which is seen by guests as they enter the reception room, and arrangements on each of the tables for guests. The top table occupied by the newlyweds usually has a more ornate arrangement.
As mentioned, some of the arrangements can be brought from the church.
Large halls and marquees usually provide plain backgrounds and therefore flower arrangements should be spectacular and large to catch the eye. Tall table arrangements are an effective way to make an impressive display.

Cake Flowers
Many couples choose to decorate the cake with flowers instead of bride and groom figures. The flowers may be a small spray laid on top of the cake. A simple yet effective alternative is to place a single flower on the cake.

I can supply the cake flowers to ensure a harmonious colour match.
