On the CBS New York YouTube channel, in the video “How to Pick The Right Flowers For Any Occasion”, they discuss how to choose the right flowers from local florists for special events. They discuss weddings, barbecues, picnics, or other informal special events.
The floral designer suggests using seasonal flowers when planning an arrangement for the best results. Local florists can design arrangements for the special event or help you choose flowers and containers to make at home.
Before you visit the florist, look at some arrangements online to get an idea of the type of arrangement you want. Local florists can make all the arrangements or help you choose containers, vases, and flowers to design at home.
Vases and containers will determine the appearance of the arrangement from formal to casual. In the warmer months, for causal arrangements, keep it simple and use flowers and colors in season. Many florists have catalogs with flower arrangements to give the customer an idea of the many different styles.
Research online or ask the florist for advice when visiting the shop. This will help customers find the best arrangements for the event they are attending or planning in the winter or warmer weather. Planning is the key to success.
