Wedding flowers – styling tips and ideas

With so much choice available for wedding flowers, here are some styling tips from Martha and the Meadow, Dorset wedding florist.

As a Dorset wedding photographer I work alongside talented florists at hundreds of weddings and I am always in awe of Emma’s vision and hard work. I have documented Emma’s unique floral arrangements at prestigious wedding venues across Dorset. This article includes wedding photography from St Giles House, Studland Bay House and Mapperton Gardens.
 
Today Emma has some fantastic tips for choosing your wedding flowers for that personal touch.

Wedding flowers ideas and tips

Flowers at weddings can be rather powerful tool that can turn your day into something magical and very personal. Working through what you want with Pinterest and Instagram full of endless inspirational ideas tackling your floral wishes can be one of the more challenging moments to get your head around when wedding planning.

Firstly find a florist who’s work you love and can offer you up a range of options and does challenge some of your ideas. They are the experts and will always know how best to work a budget and create designs to suit your day and venue.

Wedding flower tips – Make flowers personal to you!

I would always make sure you are choosing flowers that reflect you as a couple. Is there a story behind the flowers in your bouquet? I always say to my couples that if you don’t really like a flower then don’t have it! You should only be surrounded by the things you love on your wedding day.. Not because something is budget friendly or on trend.

Wedding flowers – Statement Pieces which end up in your photographs!

I will always say you need to design flowers that will also be photographed. Make sure that your ceremony space and the flowers designed for it will be able to be photographed and give you a handful of epic shots.

Why spend a fortune on arches and floral meadows if you don’t have them placed in areas that will be photographed and give you those Wow photos to sit on the mantle for years to come.  I always say small pew ends by the time people actually sit in the seats will be rarely viewed – where as a row of floral meadow will look timeless and create incredible imagery.

Wedding flowers – Marquee Statements

Marquees are a wonderful entertaining space – but need clever thought – otherwise they can quickly become a white box.
 
Think about creating height using large tall arrangements or and they do not need to be on every table – creating thoughtful and considered table design can allow you spread your budget further by dedicating taller and more ellocatate items in the right place.

Wedding flowers ideas – Colour

Be brave and use colour, don’t shy away from rich and gorgeous colours as they can really add depth and style to your day. Also this does not always have to be achieved with just flowers, you can add in detail with coloured water glasses and candleware too!
