Help! What flowers do I need for my wedding?

Choosing your flower arrangements is one of the most important steps of planning a wedding and bringing your inspiration to life. While you might already have the basics in mind- like bouquets, buttonholes and centerpieces- your wedding flower checklist likely doesn’t stop there. Fresh flowers can instantly elevate your ceremony and reception spaces, making them an essential part of your overall event design and one of the most talked about parts of the day! To help you plan, we’ve put together a complete guide on what flowers are commonly ordered from us for weddings, from the ceremony to the reception and beyond. This will help you prioritize which arrangements are most important for your big day.

When we first meet with a couple who are working with a more limited budget, I will suggest fewer, but larger elements. Your bridal party flowers are important as they feature so heavily in the photos but from there it is a question of what will make the most impact for what you would like to spend? We want our clients and their guests to be truly wowed when they walk into the room and sometimes one large floral installation is more impactful than lots of small pieces.

You likely won’t need everything on this list, but for a quick glance at all of your options, here’s our wedding flower checklist.
