Florals have a way of turning an ordinary space into something unforgettable. We've seen how the right blooms can elevate a moment, soften a space, or tell a love story without saying a word.


Whether you're drawn to lush garden roses or wild, foraged greenery, here's your guide to choosing wedding floral that feels like you.




  1. Start With Your Style

Before picking petals, define your overall wedding vibe. Are you:


  • Romantic & Timeless? Think peonies, garden roses, eucalyptus.

  • Boho & Earthy? Go for pampas grass, proteas, dried elements.

  • Modern & Chic? Consider orchids, anthurium, clean greenery.

  • Coastal & Breezy? Blue thistle, sea holly, and soft hydrangeas.



Your flowers should complement—not compete with—your overall look.



  1. Lean Into the Season

Seasonal flowers are often more budget-friendly, fresher, and more abundant. Here’s a quick peek:


  • Spring: Ranunculus, tulips, lilac

  • Summer: Dahlias, zinnias, sunflowers

  • Fall: Chrysanthemums, marigolds, amaranthus

  • Winter: Camellias, hellebores, evergreens



Pro tip: Work with your florist to use what’s in bloom for a lush look without the luxury price tag.



  1. Repurpose with Purpose

Want to save and still make a statement? Reuse ceremony arrangements at the reception. Think aisle markers turned into sweetheart table decor, or arch florals reworked behind your cake display. We help our couples plan for these transitions so nothing goes to waste.



  1. Don’t Forget the “Small” Touches

Sometimes the smallest arrangements make the biggest impact:


  • Bud vases for cocktail tables

  • A floral moment on your welcome sign

  • Delicate blooms tucked into place settings or napkins

  • A single standout bloom for each bridesmaid’s bouquet



These little details create texture and personality throughout the day.



  1. Trust Your Florist

Pinterest is great for inspiration—but trust your floral designer’s expertise. They’ll know what works best for your setting, season, and budget. (Need help finding the perfect florist? We have a list of Blush and Belle-approved favorites.)




Final Thoughts:

At the end of the day, flowers aren’t just for decoration—they’re part of the atmosphere, the mood, and the story you’re telling. Whether you go big and bold or keep it simple and natural, let your florals reflect who you are as a couple. There’s no right or wrong—just what feels right to you.


XOXO,

Jennifer & Amanda
