How to make a Hand-tied Spring Wedding bouquet, The Camellia, Slate River Valley, On

You're getting married in the Spring, and wondering about Flowers for your Wedding. Should you hire a Florist or well, look at all those photos on Pinterest, how hard can it be to do your own wedding bouquets? 

YOU CAN DO IT ALL YOURSELF. BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO. Unless you have years of Floral training, hire a florist. Take a look at this how to make a Spring Hand-tied Bouquet video from Mayhesh Flowers.

A bouquet like the one in this video would start at $250.00 and go up from there. Want fabulous Flowers? Give your florist a decent budget to work with...do not go into a shop and tell them you have 11 Bridesmaids with a budget of $40.00 ea. Plan ahead and book your Florist, 6 months to a year ahead. 

Now you can move onto fun stuff like finding that perfect Tropical island for your Honeymoon. 

And you can get on with planning with other stuff - such as:  can planters with palm trees be rented? 

Come see us at The Camellia to discuss your Spring Wedding Flowers!

Everything you need to know when visiting your Wedding Florist

So you're getting married, and having never ordered Wedding flowers before, you get to the Florist and gasp at what your Floral vision is actually going to cost. Why? The problem with Pinterest is they actually don't tell you what those fabulous florals cost. If you are in Cali or in Holland close to where the flowers are grown, flowers are going to be cheaper. Here in Northwestern Ontario, all our flowers are brought in from wholesalers. There are some greenhouses in Southern Ontario that grow flowers, then product has to get trucked here, or gasp, flown here.  Let's say you love Peonies, which grow beautifully here, The problem is we can't predict our weather here, that the peonies will bloom around the day of your Wedding.

Spring tulips!!

 Tulips  - they are one of my favourite Flowers!! Brides getting married next Spring are asking for fresh Tulips. These photos were taken at Keukenhof Gardens in Holland - the best Spring bulb Garden in the World! Look at the soft colours......

Faux Tulips are also popular - this is one of our many sample Bouquets you can see when you come into our store. After all, who can order flowers and judge sizes from a photo?

 This Bouquet is also faux...... who would know? And the Bride can use this in her home afterwards as a floral centerpiece in a vase.
