When keeping track of everything for your wedding, remembering all the different types of florals you may need can be difficult. While flowers are essential for your wedding day, it’s important to consider the role that they will play before making any final decisions about which florals to choose. We’ve done our best to keep track of which floral bouquets, centrepieces, and decorative flairs you may want to include in your wedding celebration.
But, when you have so much else to worry about, one of the best things to do is invest in a trusted florist – who you can find in house with Vintage Hotels!
How to Decide What Florals You Need for Your Wedding
Before deciding which florals are needed for your special day, consider the following factors:
Wedding Vision

Before looking at specific flowers, brainstorm your dream wedding aesthetic. Is it romantic and classic, or modern and whimsical? This is essential if you want your florals to create a cohesive look.
Seasonal Availability

Embrace the beauty of the season. Not only are locally sourced, in-season flowers more affordable, but they are also fresher and more vibrant. It’s also a great way to create a more natural, organic feel to your arrangements.
Venue
Consider your venue‘s size, style, and natural light. A grand ballroom might call for dramatic, large-scale arrangements, while a rustic barn might be better suited for loose, garden-style bouquets.
Budget

Be upfront with your florist about your budget. They can work with you to create stunning arrangements that reflect your vision and budget to maximize your floral impact.
Flowers Needed for a Wedding
Flowers play a crucial role in enhancing the beauty and elegance of a wedding. From the bride’s bouquet to the table centerpieces, flowers add a touch of romance and charm. Here are some florals we recommend including:
Personal Wedding Flowers
It’s hard to forget that the bride needs a bouquet, but that doesn’t mean other florals are any less important.
You, as the bride, can choose to adorn yourself with as many flowers as you like, so here’s some ideas you may not have thought of yet. Also, who else needs petals to partake in the floral beautification of your day? The bride can consider wearing flowers in her hair, a floral crown or petals woven throughout her veil.
Flowers for the Wedding Party

Your loved ones are a vital part of your wedding day, and many of them will typically carry a floral arrangement – or don a flowery decoration – during your celebration. The florals you may want to incorporate for the wedding party include:
- Bridesmaids’ bouquets
- Flower girl’s bouquets – you can have a basket of petals to toss in addition to or instead of the bouquets
- The groom, his groomsmen’s and the ring bearer’s boutonnieres
- The mothers of the bride and groom can wear corsages
- The fathers of the bride and groom may wear boutonnieres
- Grandparents may also choose either of the above

In addition to the flowers people will wear and carry, what other arrangements may you need at your ceremony?
- Elevate the gorgeous aesthetic of your wedding ceremony by lining the pews with flower arrangements
- Incorporate an ornate wedding ceremony archway out of florals to say, “I do” under
- Provide guests with flower petals to toss or place florals upon any tables or elevated surfaces you like
- Flower petals for your flower girl to toss before you make your way down the aisle
