Who gets a wedding corsage?

Getting married comes with the notion to ask many questions.  One of the most common questions is "Who should we buy a wedding corsage for?"  



The answer to that question is....anyone that is special to you.  Traditionally speaking though, it's typically the following people:



  • Mothers 
  • Grandmothers
  • Guestbook Attendant
  • Gift Attendant
  • Speaker
  • Musician/Singer
  • Wedding Coordinator 
  • Candle Lighter
The great thing about this being your wedding though is that you get to choose who gets a corsage and who doesn't.  If we can help, give us a shout.

As wedding florists we prepare exactly what each bride has in mind for her wedding bouquet....and each bride has her own style.  Weddings like that of Kim Kardashian and Princess Kate fills brides with inspiration and admiration.  They come into Fresh Design Florists to find out if we can recreate their dream bouquet...and of course the answer is yes.






Which of these four bouquets do you think should win our "Bouquet of the month" contest?

5 questions to ask a wedding florist

Choosing a wedding florist is difficult when you don't know who to trust.  Are the photos they're showing you really their work?  Do they have the knowledge of your venue and it's decor to ensure that your flowers don't clash?  There's more to choosing your wedding flowers than you may think.  That's why we've developed these 5 questions to ask wedding florists before hiring them:

  1. References - Do you have a few venues that you've worked at and brides that you've designed for that I can call?
  2. Trends and Color - Are you up to date on the trends and colors of today and what type/style/color looks good together?
  3. Flower type - Do you work often with the types of flowers I want for my wedding? 
  4. Experience - May I see your portfolio?  How many weddings do you design annually?  
  5. Dates and Delivery - What are your policies and prices?  Are you available on my wedding date, and if so, how many other weddings will you be designing for on that date?


The decor and flowers of your day are often what is remembered by wedding guests.  It's also a large part of what your photographer will use to create beautiful photos.  We're here to help make your wedding stand out from the rest with our high standard of customer service, knowledge and experience in wedding day floral design.

Whimsical Halloween Wedding!




Not being your average bride, Michelle had a whimsical and beautiful Halloween wedding.

She chose to have a red silk Chuppah, which we hung moss covered funnels and grapevine lanterns from.


The courtyard welcomed guests with moss funnels filled with flowers hanging from shepherd's hooks.

This was truly a signature wedding!

The centerpieces were manzanita branches with floral topiary balls, glass tea lights and grapevine balls hanging.

The bridesmaids carried vine balls with black calla lilys emerging from the center. How cute!
