However, if your wedding is going to be an exceptionally elaborate event, take place during peak wedding season or fall on a holiday, then six months to a year is not too soon to contact your us. This will allow the us to begin looking for any props or specialty items you might need. Wedding flowers can be highly specific and colors often have to be very precise, so we need advance notice to place flower orders.

If you are not sure, your florist can offer suggestions based on your wedding plans so far.

Q:	Are fresh flowers safe to put on or into a cake?
A:	We will be able to tell you which flowers are potentially dangerous and which are perfectly safe for use on your cake. If you are concerned about the flowers being dirty, don't be, we are careful to wash every bloom that is intended for your cake very carefully. If you still feel uneasy, there are ways to use fresh flowers and not have them come in direct contact with your confection. We can make small arrangements to place between the tiers for a wonderful effect, or he or she can place flowers around the base of (and not touching) the cake as well as putting matching arrangements on the cake table.
Q:	Does the shape of my bouquet have to match the style of my dress?
A:	The type of bouquet you choose is really a matter of personal taste -- the flowers should complement your wedding style rather than your wedding gown. we've seen lots of brides in opulent ball gowns opt for a small bunch of tulips, we've also designed brides in silk sheaths carrying cascades of orchids. It all depends on what kind of overall look you're going for, and should reflect your individual style and taste. we have a large selection of catalogs and we reccomend you to bring in pictures from books & magazines.
