Wedding Flowers: How and Why We Use Them

Have you ever asked yourself – Why do we use wedding flowers?

Everyone has a specific vision for their wedding. There are many choices of colors, textures, accents, linens, stationery, chairs, and tables. Now imagine all of those items without any wedding flowers. Impossible right? The memories that those wedding flowers will create are priceless.
Hiring a professional florist is a wonderful investment in someone who can make your dream become a reality. From the ceremony site, and reception area to the wedding party themselves. A professional florist has you covered from your grand entrance to your final exit.
Choosing the right wedding flowers is not always easy and having advice from a professional florist is really important. In today’s online world, you can find a lot of inspiration from blogs, Pinterest boards, and bridal magazines. Having the expertise of a professional floral designer will help you to narrow down your ideas and bring them to life! The final result is a combination of what is available, within your budget, and unique to your story.
What are the most popular color and styles?
Today’s generation typically selects their wedding flowers for their color and shape. Perhaps something that suits their specific personality and style. Pantone’s color of the year in 2017 was Greenery, and we are seeing a lot of inspiration from these shades and styles being used in our everyday lives. The same goes for the Pantone colors from 2016: Rose Quartz and Serenity Blue. Finding inspiration from the world around you to utilize on your big day is essential to telling your love story. Our goal is to ensure that your wedding flowers accent your vision seamlessly.

In our opinion, the most popular flowers used in a wedding are roses. Roses are timeless, doesn’t matter if they are regular roses, tea roses, garden, or English; they really are a symbol of love. Other popular florals include hydrangeas, orchids, calla lily, tulips, stephanotis, stock, and ranunculus. To finish a design we like to add fresh herbs, succulents, and a variety of greenery which are staples for most couples.
We love creating stunning floral designs from the inspiration our clients bring our way. If your style is classic, vintage, garden, romantic or retro, learning your story will really help us bring your big day to life. We have a saying within the wedding industry, “If the couple is happy, we are all happy.” Remember, this day is about telling your love story, the wedding flowers you choose will reflect who you are as a couple.
