Choosing your wedding florals is an exciting part of the planning process, but it can also feel a bit overwhelming! With several years of experience providing stunning floral designs through our sister company, Fleur Affair, we’re here to help you navigate this essential aspect of your big day.
Decide on Your Wedding Colors
Choosing your wedding colors is the first step in your floral design journey. Your color palette will serve as the foundation for many design decisions, so it’s important to select shades that resonate with you and complement your overall vision.
Budget Wisely
Establish a realistic floral budget early on. Discussing your budget openly with your florist will help them tailor their suggestions to suit your financial plan while still delivering a breathtaking design.
Create Your Wedding Inspiration Hub
Start by creating a dedicated Pinterest board for your wedding to gather visual inspiration for floral arrangements, color schemes, and overall style. This will help clarify your vision and serve as a reference for your florist. To streamline the planning process, set up a Google Drive folder to house all your floral inspiration, color palettes, and relevant notes. This central repository will make it easy for both you and your florist to access and refer back to the information at any time. By combining these two tools, you'll have a cohesive and organized approach to your wedding floral planning!
Choose Your Flowers
Communicate openly with your florist about the flowers you absolutely want and those you’d prefer to avoid.Your florist will provide expert guidance on which blooms will enhance your design and inform you about seasonal availability. Keep in mind that some flowers may not be accessible on your wedding date. If that happens, your florist will suggest similar options to achieve the desired look.
Consider the Venue
Think about how your chosen flowers will complement your venue. Take note of the space’s colors, textures, and lighting. Florals that harmonize with the setting can elevate the overall ambiance of your wedding.
While it’s great to have a clear vision, staying open to your florist’s expertise can truly elevate your wedding florals. Florists have years of experience understanding the intricacies of flowers—knowing what’s in season, which blooms hold up best, and how to create cohesive designs that fit your vision.
Sometimes, specific flowers may not be available or practical for your wedding day. That’s where your florist’s expertise comes in. They can suggest similar alternatives or even recommend incorporating high-quality faux florals for larger installations, ensuring your design is stunning without compromising quality or budget. By trusting their knowledge and being flexible, you’ll achieve floral arrangements that reflect your style while staying realistic.
