So, you’re getting married. Congratulations! You get to be a bride! And you also get to embark on one of the most stressful event planning experiences of your life. (Sorry!)
Planning a wedding is almost always way more anxiety-inducing than we expect it to be. Venue, catering, dress, music, guests, vows, dinner, DJ — there are a lot of decisions before you. And, naturally, you’ll want your big day to be just to your taste.
One of the most unexpectedly complex things to plan is the flowers. “Surely, I just find a florist, right?” you may be thinking. Unfortunately, there are probably a few more things you’ll want to consider. I’m talking flower type, colour, size, style, placement — the list goes on.
But don’t panic. With the right preparation, creating the perfect floral design for your wedding is possible! And it can really transform your venue into the magical, romantic setting of your dreams.
We spoke to the experts at Blooming Haus to bring you a checklist of everything you need to know…
- Start with a visual moodboard
Before meeting your florist, curate a collection of imagery, colour palettes, and floral styles that resonate with you. Include fabric swatches, venue photos, and inspiration from Pinterest or magazines. This visual reference will help convey your vision clearly and ensure a cohesive design from the outset.
2. Collaborate on a bespoke floral palette
Work with your florist to develop a custom colour story that reflects your style, love story, and heritage while also complementing your venue. Move beyond generic for a look that feels curated and refined.
