Flowers for an Outdoor Wedding Ceremony

Outdoor weddings are the perfect choice to get creative with your arrangements! The outdoor environment allows for floral designs that can utilize height, dimension, and color palettes that might be less feasible in a traditional indoor venue. For a rustic outdoor ceremony, consider using wildflowers such as sunflowers, dahlias, and lavender. These blooms blend seamlessly with a natural-outdoor setting. Plus, their vibrant colors and diverse shapes will create a stunning and natural backdrop to say “I Do!” If you’re leaning towards a more modern vibe, consider using roses or hydrangea to create a wedding ceremony that can complement any setting!

Flowers for an Indoor Wedding Ceremony

Indoor venues often give you the freedom to explore various styles. For a traditional indoor ceremony, classic white roses, orchids, and hydrangeas are the perfect blooms. Pair these flowers with lush greenery and you’ll create depth and texture in all your arrangements. On the other hand, consider using soft pastel colors such as blush pink, lavender, and peach for a more whimsical and romantic ambiance.

The biggest advantage of having an indoor wedding ceremony is the ability to create intricate and delicate arrangements that might not withstand outdoor conditions. For example, indoors you have the ability to fill the aisle with cylinders and floating candles. This type of aisle decor can be exposed to various outdoor elements, including wind, that would take away from your overall vision. When you design flowers for an indoor wedding ceremony, the choices are endless! 

Flowers for a Ceremony with a View

When your ceremony boasts breathtaking city views or scenic landscapes, your floral arrangements should celebrate that backdrop rather than compete with it. For outdoor ceremonies with a view of the skyline, delicate blooms like blush roses or calla lilies can create a romantic ambiance without overshadowing the scenery. This allows your flowers to stand out against the stunning view while maintaining a chic and sophisticated look.
Consider using non-traditional arrangements for your ceremony such as pyramid arches or asymmetrical arches. These unique structures will not take away from your view, instead they will complement your space and provide the perfect backdrop to say “I Do.”

Flowers for a Wedding Ceremony in a Church

Church ceremonies often have a timeless elegance about them, and your floral choices should reflect that tradition. Altar baskets are a thoughtful choice for enhancing the beauty of a church without overwhelming the natural elegance of the sacred space. These baskets can be filled with a mix of blooms that echo the church's own design elements, such as soft pastels that match stained glass windows. Consider using tall candelabras or clear stands adorned with blooms to add height and interest to your aisle. By choosing flowers that blend with the existing decor, altar baskets can subtly highlight the altar's features, letting the church's architecture shine.

Choosing the perfect flowers for your wedding ceremony can be a reflection of both your style and the unique character of your venue.
