Guide to Wedding Flowers

Choosing your wedding flower designs can be difficult. You will want to be sure that the flowers add to your occasion and that you are getting value for money. You may also want to make sure that the flowers match any theme you may have chosen for your wedding and that they match the Bride’s dress. What about your favourite flowers, can you include those? Our guide to wedding flowers below may help.

Bride’s Bouquet

The Bride’s Bouquet is the most important wedding flower arrangement. It will appear on most of the photographs in the wedding album. The bouquet should complement the Bride’s dress in colour and form. A flowing bouquet might match a flowing dress but if the dress has intricate detail it would be a shame to hide it behind a large bouquet. The bouquet may also have to match any wedding theme (eg Spring). Bride’s bouquets can have many designs and each can have a contemporary or traditional style. Popular designs include hand-tied, shower and tear-drop.

Bridesmaids and Attendants

The Bridesmaids and Attendants flowers should complement the Bride’s flowers. A common and successful approach is for the Bridesmaids to have smaller versions of the Bride’s bouquet. However, there is a large choice of alternatives and these can range from simple hair flowers to matching bouquets.

Groom and Best Man

The Groom and Best Man should not feel left out when it comes to wedding flowers. The Buttonholes or Boutonnières worn by the Groom and the Best Man should be designed to complement the Bride’s bouquet. Remember, the Groom will appear in most of the photos too!

Civil Partnerships

Our personal service is ideally suited to meeting the requirements for Civil Partnership ceremonies.

VIPs and Family Members

You may want VIPs and Family Members to be included when it comes to wedding flowers. Female VIPs can wear corsages. These can be worn on lapels or as wrist corsages or hair flowers. Male VIPs can wear buttonholes or boutonnières. This is an area where formality can be relaxed and the recipients’ favourite flowers can be incorporated.

Venues

If your wedding includes a Reception party then that is where you and your guests will be spending most of their day. The reception flowers should be considered next after those of the people in the main wedding party. When choosing the reception flowers the style and layout of the venue should be considered. Tall table arrangements in a room with high ceilings can be stunning but in a room with a low ceiling it can make the area seem a little cramped. You should aim for something that will create an impact as your guests first enter the room and sit down.

If your ceremony is being held in a church you may want to consider the flowers carefully. Even the smallest of churches can be large inside and the cost of decorating them throughout may be prohibitive. As with reception flowers the impact of the decorations should be considered. A carefully placed pedestal and a mixture of ribbon and flower pew ends can create a stunning back-drop to your ceremony. Flower arrangements used in a church can sometimes be transferred to the reception venue. Church authorities sometimes place restrictions on the type and locations of flowers used.
