Wedding Flowers
When it comes to choosing flowers as adornments for your wedding, there is no limit to your creativity.
Personal Flowers
There are so many ways in which you can incorporate flowers into your wedding celebration.
What comes to mind first are personal flowers for the bridal party.
And these flowers will get photographed a lot.
Personal flowers can include:
- Bride's bouquet
- Hair accessories (e.g. floral crown)
- Bridesmaids’ bouquets
- Groom’s boutonniere (a tiny flower bouquet that is pinned to the groom’s breast pocket, typically matching that of the bride)
- Corsages for family members (little flower bouquets made to fit around the wrist)
Location Decoration
Let me share with you some ideas of how you can use flowers to decorate your wedding venue:
- Decoration for the side of chairs,
- Tossing flowers,
- Arrangements placed on the floor, flower arches or flower backdrops,
- Table arrangements and centerpieces
Selecting Floral Décor for your Wedding
Here are some aspects to take into account when selecting the floral décor for your wedding celebration. It might also be helpful for when you start contacting wedding florists.
Flower Type
There are several very popular flowers that are typically used in floral arrangements for weddings.
The most popular flowers are: roses, peonies, dahlias, lilacs, ranunculus, hydrangeas, tulips, orchids, lily of the valley, calla lilies, carnations and gardenias.
You can find a more complete list here.
Height and Width
The height and width of the selected flowers will affect the overall look of a floral arrangement.
That is true for the bridal flower bouquet and also for other flower arrangements, such as centerpieces and other floral decorations for your venue.
When it comes to personal flowers for the bride, you may want to avoid that the look of a large flower bouquet overpowers and takes away from the appearance of a slender bride.
Likewise, you do not want the bouquet to look too flimsy.
Also, if the pricing is a concern for you, remember that the greater quantity of flowers does not necessarily increase the cost of the arrangement because flowers differ in value. Some or pricier than others.
Colors
Select flowers that complement and go well with your wedding’s color scheme.
If you would like to get an idea of the symbolic meaning of each color, you could take a look at this article or this website dedicated to the meaning of colors.
Also, are there flowers you should absolutely avoid for your wedding bouquet? Take a look at here to learn what a florist has to say about that.
Seasonality
The availability of certain flowers will depend on your wedding date (whether they are in-season at that time of the year).
Your florist will be able to guide you with regards to availability and which flowers are most complementary at the time of your wedding.
Fragility and Freshness
Another concern when selecting flowers is fragility and freshness. Your florist will be able to steer you away from flowers that have a greater need to stay hydrated to maintain their bloom and freshness.
Likewise, there are flowers that cannot be exposed to higher / lower temperatures because they wilt more easily.
Fragrance and Pollen
Consult your florist if you are sensitive to scents as some flowers are very fragrant.
A florist will also be able to guide you away from flowers with pollen that could possibly stain your beautiful wedding day clothes.
Vases
Another important aspect of selecting floral arrangements is the vases you pick out to hold your flowers.
A florist will be able to best advise you on which flower arrangement will look best in low (i.e. pedestal-style, mason jars glass bottles) or high /tall (for example candelabra-style) vases, especially for centerpieces.
Fresh, Dried or Paper Flowers
Especially in the fall and winter, using dried flower arrangements as decorative elements for your wedding might a beautiful and more unique choice.
I have also seen stunning paper flower backdrops used at wedding receptions.
Etsy
for example has a comprehensive selection of wedding flower backdrops.
