Wedding Flower Trends, Tips and Costs

A bride can't go wrong with a chic and classic white color palette which always stands the test of time. Yet the wedding floral trend forecast is shifting to color. Perhaps we need a bit of color to compliment the happy occassion? Why not take inspiration from the colors that bring you joy? Stay open minded and work with a designer who can help you with suggestions for seasonal flowers with pops of color.

A great tip for your wedding flowers is to ask your floral designer if there is an afforable way to repurpose your ceremony flowers into some of your reception decor. In some cases, they can be moved! What a wonderful way to enjoy the flowers with your guests as they dine with you at your reception!

Regarding wedding flower costs, don't reach out to dozens of designers for quotes because honestly you won't know what you are really comparing. Instead, if you have a very tight budget, be open and honest. Find a couple of experienced designers who can tell you what options and suggests they have for reprioritizing your floral budget. For example, you might eliminate the boutonnierres and corsages which can add up and instead make more of a statement with your ceremony flowers. The costs of flowers and containers have been affected by labor shortages, supply shortages and shipping costs. So you may need to adjust your budget in other areas of your wedding in order to make a more realistic floral budget. Perhaps you go with a DJ instead of a live band? Perhaps a special signature cocktail drink list instead of an open bar? Perhaps buffet stations instead of plated dinner service? Work closely with your designer and trust that they want your wedding day to be flower filled and beautiful!
