Considerations when choosing flowers for your wedding or event


 
Choosing flowers for your event can be exciting and overwhelming.

Take a minute to consider the list of following questions before you order flowers. Remember all flowers at McMinnville Wholesale Flowers are sold by the bunch. Please note the numbers of stems vary per bunch.

  • What is the color palette for your wedding or event?

To have maximum impact for your event, you may want to select a few (3-4) colors and use an assortment of flowers for texture and shape.

  • Is there a specific flower or flowers you'd like for your wedding or event?

There are many types of flowers to choose from. Not sure which flowers to choose? Search by Colors on the left hand side of the page to see names and photos of each flower. If you know the names of flowers you are looking for, you can search under “All Flowers” to select by name.

  • How many arrangements are you creating?

How many stems and of what flower types will you be using? Consider bridal bouquet, number of bridesmaids, centerpieces, corsages, boutonnieres, site decorations. Make a list of approximate number of stems of each flower type in every arrangement. We recommend that you add an additional 10% of each kind of flower to your order. This assures you have a few extra incase you need them. Still not sure? Request a 30 or 60 minute phone consultation with the experts!

  • Will you need greenery to help fill out your arrangements?
