Making Your Wedding Florals Unforgettable
Your wedding flowers set the tone for your entire day — from the ceremony to the reception, and everything captured in photographs. Choosing the right blooms is one of the most personal and exciting parts of wedding planning. Here’s our guide to help you get it right.
Start with Your Colour Palette
Before thinking about specific flowers, nail down your wedding colours. Your florals should complement your dress, bridesmaid outfits, venue, and stationery. Soft whites and creams feel timeless; pinks and corals bring warmth; bold burgundy and deep greens create drama.
Consider the Season
Seasonal flowers are fresher, more sustainable, and usually more affordable. In spring, think tulips, peonies, and sweet peas. Summer brings roses, dahlias, and sunflowers. Autumn offers rich tones with chrysanthemums and berries. Winter weddings are stunning with amaryllis, holly, and white lilies.
Think About Your Venue
A grand church calls for tall, statement arrangements. A rustic barn suits relaxed wildflower styling. A contemporary hotel pairs well with structured, architectural flowers. Your venue’s scale and style should guide your choices.
Key Pieces to Plan For
- Bridal bouquet — the centrepiece of your florals
- Bridesmaids’ bouquets — complementary but not identical
- Buttonholes and corsages — for the groom, groomsmen, and immediate family
- Ceremony flowers — pew ends, altar arrangements, arch flowers
- Reception centrepieces — table arrangements that encourage conversation
