LOCATION
The location of your wedding can
impact your wedding flowers in many
ways, including things like cost, style,
and the size and number of
arrangements. Some ceremony
venues, such as churches, have specific
restrictions and parameters you must
follow. Other venues, like gardens, are
highly floral or decorative on their own
and don’t need many additions.
Likewise - reception venues can be
overly stark and require a lot of
flowers, while others may be
ornamental or themed and only
require accents. If you have your ceremony
and reception in the same space,
that can require an entirely different
strategy altogether.
STYLE
The style of your wedding has a
great deal of influence on your floral
arrangements because you want
your ceremony and reception to look
cohesive. For a sophisticated affair,
consider elegant rose bouquets and
dramatic centerpieces. If it’s a rustic,
outdoor venue, your floral
arrangements can be more
free-flowing and less structured.
Additionally, make sure that the
vessels and embellishments you’re
using match the feel of your
wedding. Huge rhinestones and
peacock feathers don’t usually go with
rustic or bohemian blossoms - unless,
of course, you’re going for a more
unique or artistic wedding style.
COLOR
If you want your wedding flower
arrangements to match your colors
exactly, consider bringing paint or
fabric swatches for your florist to
see. Describe other key decor items
like your table linens and china so
that the florist can understand the
style you’re going for. Keep in mind
that pastel and brightly-colored
flowers will be more available in the
spring and summer, while deeper,
jewel-toned blossoms will be
available in the fall and winter. If
you want to have a light, colorful
wedding with lots of bright
flowers, having it in the spring would
increase the accessibility of your
desired flowers while keeping costs
down.
SEASON
In order to create the best aesthetic
possible, you’ll want to match your
wedding flowers to the season. In
addition to keeping costs down,
you can avoid any (unintentionally)
strange combinations that might
raise some eyebrows. While you
shouldn’t sacrifice your dream
wedding, some flowers just make
more sense than others. For
instance, you probably don’t want to
have pinecones and poinsettias at a
summer garden wedding, and you
might not want bright wildflowers at
an elegant winter wedding.
Additionally, seasonal availability is
an important consideration. Some
flowers are seasonal, but some are
available year-round, Greenery is
also always available, and it looks
great with or without flowers.
