Planning your wedding florals can feel like stepping into a world of endless possibilities. I know you're envisioning a day that feels cohesive, considered, and impossibly unforgettable, I’ve got you. In this guide, we’ll walk through how to intentionally invest your floral budget in the places that create the most magic, meaning, and visual impact.



1. Prioritise

Statement Pieces

Start by identifying the focal points of your wedding. These are the areas where guests' eyes will naturally be drawn, and where your floral budget can have the most significant effect. Key statement pieces to consider include:


  • Bridal Bouquet: This is the star of the show. Invest in a lush, show-stopping bouquet that complements your dress and wedding theme.

  • Ceremony Backdrop: Whether it's an arch, a ground meadow, or an altar arrangement, the ceremony backdrop will be the focal point of your vows and wedding photos.

  • Reception Entrance: First impressions count! A stunning floral display at the entrance sets the tone for your celebration.




2. Highlight High-Traffic Areas

Focus your floral budget on areas where guests will spend the most time. These spaces should feel inviting and reflect your wedding style.


  • Reception Tables: Invest in beautiful centrepieces for guest tables. Opt for a mix of larger arrangements and smaller, complementary pieces to create visual interest. Or keep in timeless and minimal with delicate bud vases.

  • Head Table: The head table, or sweetheart table, deserves extra attention. Make it stand out with an elaborate floral runner or statement arrangement.

  • The Bar: Chances are most of your guests will be hanging out by the bar. Whether it be a simple arrangement or a focal installation have fun with it and make a statement.

  • Dance Floor: Enhance the party atmosphere with floral around the dance floor, such as hanging installations.



  1. Communicate with Your Florist

Work closely with your florist to ensure your vision aligns with your budget. A professional florist will have creative solutions and can suggest the best ways to achieve your desired look within your price range.


Remember, your wedding flowers should reflect your unique style and love story. By strategically focusing your floral budget on key areas, mixing high-end with budget-friendly blooms, and repurposing arrangements, you can create a breathtaking floral experience without the overwhelm.
