Wedding Flowers Ideas

Planning wedding flowers can be an exciting but sometimes overwhelming part of the wedding preparation process. Here are some ideas to help you choose the perfect blooms for your big day:

Bouquets

  1. Classic Rose Bouquet
    • Traditional and timeless, roses come in a wide range of colors.
    • Complement with greenery or baby’s breath for added texture.
  2. Wildflower Bouquet
    • Perfect for a rustic or bohemian wedding.
    • Includes a mix of seasonal flowers and lots of greenery for a “fresh-picked” look.
  3. Cascading Bouquet
    • More dramatic, with flowers that drape downwards.
    • Often includes orchids, ivy, or trailing greenery.
  4. Monochromatic Bouquet
    • Choose one color and use various flowers in different shades of that color.
    • Keeps things elegant and cohesive.

Centerpieces

  1. Mason Jar Arrangements
    • Great for a rustic or vintage-themed wedding.
    • Can be filled with wildflowers or even succulents.
  2. Tall Vases
    • Create height and drama with tall arrangements.
    • Use flowers like lilies, delphiniums, or gladiolus.
  3. Lanterns with Flowers
    • Incorporate lanterns and surround them with floral arrangements.
    • Perfect for an evening wedding or one with a vintage theme.
  4. Floral Garlands
    • Ideal for long, rectangular tables.
    • Can be draped down the center of the table for a lush, garden-like effect.

Ceremony Décor

  1. Floral Arches
    • Frame the couple with a beautiful arch covered in flowers and greenery.
    • Can match the overall color scheme of the wedding.
  2. Aisle Markers
    • Small arrangements tied to the chairs lining the aisle.
    • Can be as simple as a single bloom or as elaborate as small bouquets.
  3. Petal Aisle
    • Scatter flower petals along the aisle.
    • Can be a simple single color or a mix of shades for a more dramatic effect.
