What Wedding Flowers Do You Really Need? A Simple Guide

So what flowers do you really need to order for your wedding day?

Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, especially during your first meeting with the florist.
To help simplify the process, here’s a straightforward list of the most common floral arrangements you may need for your wedding day.

Must-Have Personal Flowers:

  • Bridal Bouquet

  • Bridesmaids' Bouquets

  • Groom's Boutonniere

  • Groomsmen's Boutonnieres (and for the important men in your wedding party)

  • Ladies' Corsages (for mothers and grandmothers)

Ceremony Flowers:

  • Signing Table Florals (this can also serve as your top table arrangement)

  • Aisle Markers (such as chair-end posies or bud vases placed along the aisle)

  • Entrance Florals (decorating the entrance and indicating where the wedding will take place)

Reception Flowers:

  • Table Centrepieces

  • Top Table Flowers

  • Florals for the Bar or Gift Table

  • Statement Florals (the reception is where you will spend most of your day, so this is where florals can make the most significant impact)

Top Tips:

You don’t need to include everything on this list! Focus on the floral pieces that matter most to you and expand from there.

A great strategy is to consider how you can reuse specific floral designs throughout your special day (like your signing table or aisle markers)

Think about the key areas where you want to create drama. Lean on your florist to help you find the perfect designs for these spaces.
