2. Bridesmaid Bouquets

Bridesmaid bouquets are typically smaller versions of the bridal bouquet, designed to complement the bride’s flowers while maintaining a unique look. These flowers should reflect the bride’s floral choices but can vary in size, colour, and shape.

What to Include:

• Choose a smaller version of the bridal bouquet, or go for a mixed flower design that still ties into the overall theme.
• Soft, flowing flowers such as ranunculus, lavender, or dahlias are great for bridesmaids, as they add softness without overwhelming the overall look.

3. Boutonnieres

Boutonnieres are worn by the groom, groomsmen, and sometimes the fathers of the bride and groom. They’re a small but significant way to incorporate florals into the groom’s attire.

What to Include:

• A single flower such as a rose, carnation, or succulent is commonly used.
• Complement the buttonhole with a touch of greenery like rosemary, lavender, or a sprig of eucalyptus.

Tips for Choosing Wedding Flowers

1. Consider the Season: Flowers are often more affordable and vibrant when they’re in season. Be sure to work with your florist to select flowers that are readily available.
2. Keep Your Budget in Mind: Wedding flowers can be costly, so it’s essential to prioritise the floral elements that matter most to you. Focus on key areas like the bridal bouquet and table centrepieces, and opt for more budget-friendly options in other areas.
3. Coordinate with Your Theme and Colour Scheme: Whether your wedding is rustic, vintage, or modern, your flowers should match the overall theme. Work with your florist to select flowers that complement your colour palette.
4. Plan for Durability: Some flowers may wilt faster than others, so ensure that your wedding flowers can last through the ceremony and reception.
