When you find the right florist for your event, you just know. Whether you're looking for flower arrangements that could belong in the New Orleans Museum of Art, or you just want a few elegant blossoms for your bridesmaids' hair, you'll find the right options with New Orleans florists.

How many wedding flowers do you need? The answer depends on your personal taste and the location of your wedding. If you're getting married in the Botanical Garden's Zemurray Azalea and Camellia Garden, for example, you probably won't need to purchase many additional wedding flowers for décor. However, you'll still need wedding flowers for your wedding party's boutonnieres and corsages, as well as centerpieces, flower arrangements, wedding bouquets, and other aspects of your flower design. The good news is, your wedding flowers don’t have to be flowers at all. Many Louisiana couples are saving money (and impressing their guests) with unusual non-floral designs that incorporate anything from feather bouquets to clusters of vintage jewelry.

If you're in need of inspiration for choosing wedding flowers, try wandering through the New Orleans Botanical Garden with a notebook or a camera. You can take your ideas to florists and design your wedding flowers around the blossoms that caught your eye. Even if your wedding flowers aren’t an exact match to the flowers you saw, experienced florists will be able to recommend in-season and affordable alternatives that share the same characteristics. New Orleans florists offer flowers that grow in a rainbow of colors to begin with, and can also be dyed to match any wedding colors–even black! New Orleans florists can help you find flowers to match a swatch of material from your bridesmaids' dresses, so don’t be afraid to ask.
