I think you’ll agree, the flowers that you choose for your wedding are always going to be a key part of your special day. The flowers that you select can completely enhance the aesthetic of your wedding and ensure that it looks absolutely incredible. To maximise the effect here, you need to ensure that everything matches and fits together. Here are some of the key elements of your wedding that you should bear in mind.
Venue
The flowers that you choose will often be influenced by your wedding venue. Certain flowers will complement a more traditional venue, and vice versa with a more contemporary one. If you’re getting married in a church, then you may want to consider more traditional flower choices in lighter shades. Romantic statement arrangements around the altar, and lining the aisle will ensure the church looks absolutely beautiful. Alternatively, if you’re getting married in a contemporary space, consider having more structured arrangements in bolder block colours.
Dresses
Flowers are the ultimate accessory for you and your bridesmaids. The gowns you choose will of course determine the style of bouquets, but the flowers should always complement rather than dominate. Choose floral elements that tie everything together. Remember you don’t want your bridesmaids looking as though they’re going to someone else’s wedding!
The bridal flowers set the tone for the day, and will give your guests that first taste of what’s to come in all the different areas of your wedding venue.
Table Decor
Your wedding reception is where you’ll be spending the majority of the day, so you want it to look incredible. As I said before, your venue will determine the design you decide on, so go with it. Small floral arrangements on the tables will get lost in a high ceilinged room, so don’t be afraid to think big! Scent is also a key point to consider, because fragrant flowers are always a winner. Gentle fragrance from roses and sweet peas delight the senses, but beware overpowering scents like lilies which can dominate your guests dining experience.
Music
Believe it or not, the floral arrangements of your wedding can enhance your musical entertainment! You’ll be spending a lot of time, effort and money making sure the venue looks amazing, but what abut the stage?
If you’re lucky enough to have an outdoor setting, why not decorate the stage with flowers for your live wedding band to ensure that they have a beautiful place to perform?
I hope this helps you understand some of the key things that you should consider when selecting the perfect flowers for your wedding. If you make the right choices here, then it will bring the entire wedding together, ensuring a perfect celebration.
