Flower Power!

As a wedding planner, I often get asked about the importance of flowers and how they can contribute to the overall ambiance and theme of a wedding. Flowers have the ability to create a magical

and romantic atmosphere, and there are various ways to incorporate them into your wedding décor.

1. Statement Focal Pieces: Statement floral arrangements can create a beautiful focal point in your wedding venue. These can be placed on the ceremony altar, along the aisle, or as a centrepiece on the reception tables. These focal pieces can incorporate flowers of different shapes, sizes, and colours to create a beautiful and eye-catching display. Statement focal pieces create a wow factor: Statement focal pieces, such as a grand floral arch, a hanging floral installation, or a towering centrepiece, can create a stunning focal point that will leave a lasting impression on your guests. They can also be a beautiful backdrop for your wedding photos.

2. Mood-Setting Fragrances: Fragrances create a memorable experience: Fragrances can be just as important as visuals when it comes to setting the mood at your wedding. Consider incorporating fragrant flowers like roses, lilies, or peonies to add a beautiful and natural aroma to your wedding venue.

3. Colour Theme: Choosing a colour scheme that complements your wedding theme and personal style is essential in creating a cohesive wedding decor. Flowers can be used to bring the colour scheme together, with colours matching or contrasting with bridesmaid dresses and other decorative elements in the wedding venue. Flowers are an excellent way to incorporate your chosen colour scheme, whether it's bold and bright or soft and romantic.

4. Plants and Trees: Plants and trees can be used in floristry wedding displays too. Plants and trees can create an elegant and natural look, adding a unique touch to your wedding. Potted plants and trees can also be used as centerpieces or along the aisle to create a stunning and eco-friendly decor.

In conclusion, flowers are a crucial element in creating a beautiful and romantic wedding atmosphere. They can create a statement focal piece, set the mood with fragrance, add colour and tie everything together. Including plants and trees in your floral arrangements can also add a unique and eco-friendly touch to your wedding decor. As a wedding planner, I recommend working closely with a florist to create a who can help you bring your vision to life. They can guide you on the best flowers for your chosen season, advise on which blooms work well together, and help you stay within your budget. Here are a few of my favourite flowers.
