ree

Planning your wedding flowers? Discover Beth’s Flowers’ expert guide to choosing bridal bouquets, centerpieces, and floral décor that bring your dream wedding to life.


Why Wedding Flowers Matter

Flowers are more than decorations—they set the tone, tell your love story, and create unforgettable memories. From the bridal bouquet to the reception centerpieces, every bloom carries meaning and style. At Beth’s Flowers, we specialize in helping brides design floral arrangements that reflect their personality, theme, and vision.


Step 1: Define Your Wedding Style

Your wedding flowers should reflect your overall theme. Consider these styles:

  • Classic & Romantic – Roses, peonies, hydrangeas in soft pastels.

  • Modern & Chic – Orchids, calla lilies, and structured greenery.

  • Rustic & Bohemian – Sunflowers, wildflowers, pampas grass, eucalyptus.

  • Elegant & Timeless – White lilies, gardenias, and cascading roses.


✨ Our floral designers can help match blooms to your venue, colors, and mood.


Step 2: Choose the Key Arrangements

Every wedding has a few must-have floral pieces:

  • Bridal Bouquet – The centerpiece of your wedding look.

  • Bridesmaids’ Bouquets – Coordinated, but often smaller versions of yours.

  • Boutonnieres & Corsages – For the groom, groomsmen, and special family members.

  • Ceremony DĂŠcor – Aisle flowers, altar arrangements, or arches.

  • Reception Centerpieces – Table designs that tie everything together.

  • Extra Touches – Cake flowers, welcome table dĂŠcor, or photo backdrop installations.


Step 3: Pick Flowers by Season

Choosing blooms that are in season makes them fresher, more affordable, and naturally beautiful.

  • Spring: Tulips, lilacs, peonies.

  • Summer: Roses, hydrangeas, sunflowers.

  • Fall: Dahlias, chrysanthemums, marigolds.

  • Winter: Amaryllis, poinsettias, evergreen accents.


🌸 Beth’s Flowers can guide you through seasonal options to fit your dream palette.


Step 4: Add Personal Meaning

Many couples choose flowers with symbolism:

  • Roses – Love and passion.

  • Peonies – Prosperity and happy marriage.

  • Lilies – Purity and devotion.

  • Orchids – Beauty and strength.


Incorporating blooms with special meaning to your love story makes arrangements even more memorable.
