Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but choosing flowers is one of the most exciting parts.

To help make this process easier, we’ve put together six tips for choosing wedding flowers to ensure you get all of these things right!
1. Take Into Account Your Color Scheme
When selecting your wedding flowers, consider the colors you chose for your decorations. The flowers should complement each other and enhance the colors of your overall design aesthetic. In addition, consider choosing accent colors such as whites, ivories, or soft pastels that will give your bouquets and arrangements a subtle but beautiful glow.
2. Choose Seasonal Flowers
It is always best to pick seasonal blooms when planning your floral arrangements. They will be more readily available and last longer since they are accustomed to the current climate conditions in which they are being grown. In addition, seasonal flowers tend to be less expensive than seasonal varieties, allowing you to stretch your budget further while still having gorgeous flower arrangements at your wedding ceremony and reception venues.
3. Consider Your Venue
The venue where you plan on hosting your wedding celebration can influence which type of flowers will work best with the rest of your décor and ambiance. For example, tropical blooms like hibiscus or protea would be ideal if you plan on having a beach-themed wedding. In contrast, garden weddings might benefit from lush roses or peonies with plenty of greenery incorporated into each arrangement or bouquet.
4. Research Different Flower Options
Don’t limit yourself when selecting wedding flowers! Taking time before deciding on any specific types can help you find unique ideas and selections from florists worldwide that may have just what you need for a stunning display at an affordable price point too! Doing research online about different species can open up quite a few interesting possibilities that may even surprise you and guests at how creative and beautiful they turn out on the day of!
5. Get Creative With Arrangements
Think outside of traditional floral displays by creating something unexpected yet still glamorous at the same time! Suppose there’s one thing we’ve learned from attending countless weddings over the years. In that case, it is that couples who get creative with their florals end up having something truly unique that helps make their special day stand out amongst all others! Consider using floating candles suspended over tall centerpieces filled with colorful petals instead of large vases filled with stems; this gives off an ethereal element while still being visually stunning too!
6. Factor in Fragrance
While many aesthetically pleasing flower choices exist, the available smell is often forgotten as one factor in choosing them. Still, it can make all the difference once your bouquets arrive! Whether it be lilies or lavender, be sure to bring some sprigs along when visiting florists so that you know what scent each selection brings and if it matches up well against other fragrances already existing within the theme or color palette chosen (like cake icing!) Overall, though, don’t forget about fragrance when picking out wedding blooms because it adds another layer of delight for everyone involved on such a memorable occasion!
