"No wedding is complete without wedding flower arrangements"

You're getting married next year. You know you have to start planning. But, where to start? How to start?

This guide will help you plan your wedding flower arrangements. You must agree with me that flowers play a significant role in weddings.

But, this is just a guide. Different bride will have different budget and different style. This guide will show what flower arrangements to get for your wedding.

This guide also helps you plan. In case you miss out anything, this guide helps avoid disappointments.

I'm sure your florist will also have a list of her own, but it is always better to have your own to double check.

By the way, do you know how to choose a florist for your wedding?

Back to our wedding flowers, we'll start with...

Bouquets

Bouquets are a must. First of all, you need to get the bride's wedding bouquet. There are a lot of bouquet styles to choose from. How do you know which one is suitable for you? Follow these advices...

Next, your bridesmaids. How many of them? You need to get a bridal bouquet for each of them. Remember, their bouquets should be smaller in size and matches the flowers of your bouquet.

Then, the Maid Of Honor. She carries a bouquet too.

So, what to do with your bridal bouquet after your wedding? Since it plays such a significant role in your wedding, you could preserve it.

You could also toss it away.

Boutonnieres

First of all, the groom needs a boutonniere.

The Best Man needs a boutonniere, too. And so does the bride's father, the groom's father, both grandfathers, ushers, the ring bearer and not forgetting the Guestbook Attendant.

So you'll need lots of boutonnieres. If you would like to know how to choose boutonnieres, click here...

Corsages

Just like boutonnieres, you'll need corsages for the bride's mother, groom's mother, both grandmothers and Guestbook Attendant.

Ceremony Flowers

During your wedding recemony, you need to prepare decorations for the main altar and also the aisle or pews.

The florist will know this.

Reception Flowers

For your wedding reception, centerpieces are very important. Without them, your wedding looks bare. You'll need

  • Main table centerpiece
  • Guest table centerpieces
  • Gift table centerpiece
  • Buffet table centerpiece
  • Bar centerpiece
  • Guestbook table centerpiece

These centerpieces can be of the same type of flowers or not, but make sure they all blend into the theme of the wedding.

Apart from the centerpieces, don't forget to decorate your wedding cake with flowers. There are many ways to decorate a wedding cake with flowers.

Do consult your florist regarding this. I have a page on decorating wedding cakes with fresh flowers. You can click here for more information.

Others

Besides the bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres and centerpieces, you also need to consider other flower arrangements for your wedding. That would be flower arrangements for the flower girl.

  • Flower girl basket
  • Flower girl headpiece
  • Flower girl petals to toss

These are the flower girl accessories that you need to consider.

You can also make small simple arrangements to be used as wedding favors.
