Luxe vs. Minimal: Finding Your Reception Floral Style

Beth’s Flowers compares luxe and minimal wedding reception floral styles to help you find the perfect fit for your celebration.

Flowers Set the Tone

Your wedding reception flowers do more than decorate—they define the atmosphere of your celebration. Some couples dream of over-the-top luxury, while others prefer understated simplicity. At Beth’s Flowers, we help couples find their floral style, whether it’s bold and lavish or clean and minimal.

🌺 The Luxe Look: Bold, Abundant, Glamorous

If you want your reception to feel like a grand affair, luxe florals are the way to go. Think large-scale arrangements, statement blooms, and dramatic displays that wow your guests.

Features of Luxe Florals:

• Tall, towering centerpieces with cascading orchids, roses, or lilies.

• Floral chandeliers or hanging installations over dance floors.

• Abundant blooms layered with textures, greenery, and candles.

• Bold color palettes (deep burgundy, jewel tones, or classic red and white).

✨ Perfect for: Ballroom weddings, black-tie receptions, or couples who love drama and glamour.

🌿 The Minimal Style: Clean, Simple, Chic

Minimal doesn’t mean boring—it means refined, intentional, and elegant. This style focuses on quality over quantity, with flowers used sparingly for maximum impact.

Features of Minimal Florals:

• Single-stem vases or bud vases scattered across tables.

• Greenery runners with delicate floral accents.

• Monochrome palettes with white, blush, or muted tones.

• Sleek containers like glass cylinders or ceramic vessels.

✨ Perfect for: Modern loft weddings, intimate dinners, or couples who prefer a clean, sophisticated vibe.

🎨 Mixing Luxe & Minimal

Not sure which style is right for you? Blend both for balance.

• Use minimalist centerpieces with a few luxe statement installations (like a floral arch or chandelier).

• Choose simple table flowers but splurge on the sweetheart table or cake flowers.

• Stick with a neutral palette but add one bold color for impact.

💡 How to Decide Your Style

• Venue: A grand ballroom calls for luxe; a modern gallery pairs well with minimal.

• Budget: Luxe requires more blooms and labor, while minimal can be budget-friendly.

• Personality: Do you love making a statement or prefer quiet elegance?

• Season: Seasonal blooms can elevate either style affordably.
