Chances are you’re a novice when it comes to flowers. However, now you are a bride–to–be planning your dream wedding, and suddenly you must make decisions on bouquets, button-holes, reception centrepieces and ceremony arrangements. Overwhelming? We know! Fortunately, we are here to guide you through this process so you can enjoy planning your wedding flowers without wilting from the stress.

Discover Your Style

Close your eyes and envision the perfect look to your wedding. Will it be formal or casual? Elaborate or simple? Bold or neutral colours? Are you a traditionalist in favour of roses or lilies, or do you favour a more contemporary floral theme incorporating grasses, fruits and herbs? Your wedding flowers are more than just flowers; they set the ambiance for the entire event. Knowing your wedding style is a start in the right direction, because you’ll want to choose blossoms that match the formality of your wedding day.

Pick Your Palette

Your colour scheme should flow directly from your desired style. Today’s floral trends embrace an anything goes mentality, from wedding flowers in traditional whites and pastels to modern and adventurous dark hues and citrus shades. Flowers in matching shades or cool contrasts are breathtaking, but make sure they co-ordinate with your overall wedding theme. Choose your wedding colours accordingly, and your wedding will express your spirit. If you are still not sure where to begin, bring a bride or bridesmaid dress fabric swatch when you have your initial appointment and choose coordinating shades.
