Tips for Choosing Flowers for Your Backyard or Micro-Wedding

Outdoor weddings have always been a popular choice for engaged couples in New York and around the world. However, 2020 has seen an increase in couples making changes to their wedding plans due to the current COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic. Specifically, many couples that had larger weddings planned for this year (and next) in expansive venues are now opting for wedding ceremonies at home.

That’s right—couples are staying home to celebrate their nuptials in a trend known as a micro-wedding. These small, at-home events can make the day even more special for some couples, especially when surrounded by a few family members and friends. A backyard wedding is the perfect solution for a quaint celebration that offers the couple and their guests the opportunity to get together and have as much fun as possible while still respecting the need to social distance.

Of course, just like any other type of wedding, most newlyweds-to-be will want to enhance their venue, home, or backyard with beautiful decorations and flowers.

Choosing Flowers for Small at Home Weddings and Backyard Wedding Celebrations

No wedding is complete without your favorite wedding flowers—even if you’ll be celebrating at home! With high-quality flower arrangements for special events, you can create a beautiful atmosphere for your wedding, no matter its size or theme. Consider the following blooms for your upcoming event:

• Roses
• Calla Lilies
• Chrysanthemums
• Gerbera Daisies
• Orchids
• Lavender
• Carnations
• Birds of Paradise

If you’re looking for something more unique or would like to create custom arrangements and bouquets, it’s best to work with a trusted florist who can provide high-quality wedding flowers in Somers. When working with a flower shop to select the perfect blooms, keep the following tips in mind:

• Flowers that are in season and climate provide the best results and are usually more cost-effective for the couple, as they are readily available in-season.
• Heat sensitive flowers can be kept fresh all day by using water-saturated floral-foam bouquet holders.
• Floral cages provide an excellent way to design your wedding space and offer placement flexibility for a variety of arrangements to decorate your outdoor space with.
• Choose hardy flowers that last at least six days to ensure your Pound Ridge wedding flowers last and look great on the big day.
