Flowers are a vital part of creating the perfect atmosphere for your wedding, from the bride’s bouquet to the ceremony and reception decor. Here's a quick guide to choosing the right florals for your special day:
1. Choosing Your Florals
Start by considering the color scheme and season of your wedding. Classic styles often feature roses and peonies with crisp neutral colors, while rustic or boho weddings might call for wildflowers or greenery with bold colors.
2. Bridal Bouquet
Your bridal bouquet is one of the most iconic florals of the day! Whether you prefer a lush, romantic bouquet with soft blooms or something more minimalist, your bouquet should reflect your style. This will be what you build your remaining floral theme around.
3. Ceremony Flowers
Floral arrangements for the ceremony can transform your space, dramatically. Consider floral arches, large altar arrangements, or aisle markers to add a special pop to the venue. Ceremony flowers can also be utilized in your reception area to help save money and cut overall wedding costs!
4. Reception Decor
Reception flowers should complement your venue and vibe. Table centerpieces can range from lush arrangements to simple bud vases; whether you're wanting to go big or go simple, the receptions flowers are bound to make guests love your wedding!
5. Bridesmaids and Boutonnieres
Bridesmaids’ bouquets should coordinate with your own, offering a smaller or different variation of your flowers. Boutonnieres for the groom and groomsmen are a lovely finishing touch and should match the overall floral theme.
6. Personalizing Your Florals
If you would like to incorporate meaningful flowers, like those with personal significance or from your family’s garden. Customizing your florals adds a special touch that ties them to your love story.
7. Finding the Right Floral Budget
It is important to keep a realistic budget in mind when booking your florist. Be sure to ask specific questions about the type of florals, re-use of specific installations and other details so that you're fully understanding what is included in your service! You should plan for your floral budget to be between 8% to 10% of your overall wedding budget
Wedding florals are not just decorations—they’re a reflection of your style and love story. Florals are a key part of making your big day unforgettable! With thoughtful planning and communication, the right florist can transform your wedding into a blooming masterpiece!
