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.
