Wedding Day Advice

Choosing the right flowers for your wedding day is a key part of creating the atmosphere and look you’ve always dreamed of. To help you make the best choices, here is some expert advice to guide you through the process.

1

Choosing A Theme

Begin by thinking about the overall style and theme of your wedding. Are you envisioning a romantic, rustic celebration, a sleek modern affair or a classic, elegant event? Your floral choices should complement this theme. Consider creating a mood board with colours, textures and styles that inspire you.

2

Seasonal Flowers

Opting for flowers that are in season can be both cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Seasonal flowers are typically more abundant, which means they’ll be fresher and more vibrant. Plus, they can help tie your wedding decor to the time of year, adding a natural and authentic touch to your day.

3

Co-ordinate With Your Venue

Your venue plays a significant role in determining the style and scale of your floral arrangements. Rustic barns might suit more natural, whimsical designs, whereas hotel venues may consider large, luxurious centrepieces. Consider the colours and architecture of your venue when choosing your flowers.

4

The Little Details

While bouquets and centrepieces often get the most attention, don’t overlook smaller floral details that can make your wedding extra special. Consider buttonholes, corsages and even floral accents for your wedding cake. These little touches can tie the whole event together.

5

Personalisation

Your wedding flowers should reflect your personality and love story. Incorporate elements that are meaningful to you as a couple, whether it’s a favourite flower, a colour that has special significance or a family heirloom tied into your bouquet. These personal touches can make your floral arrangements truly unique.

6

Budget Wisely

It’s important to have a clear budget for your wedding flowers. Be open with your florist about your budget from the start so they can help you make the most of it. There are always creative ways to achieve a stunning look within your means, such as using greenery or mixing high-impact flowers with more affordable options.

7

Trust Your Florist

Your florist is an expert in creating beautiful arrangements and knows what works best. Trust their advice and be open to their suggestions. They can help you navigate the many options available and guide you toward choices that will enhance your wedding day.

8

Enjoy The Process

Choosing your wedding flowers should be a fun and enjoyable part of your wedding planning. Don’t stress too much over every detail instead focus on what feels right for you and your partner. The most important thing is that your flowers bring joy and beauty to your special day

Laura was amazing. With no idea what I wanted she created a beautiful bouquet which she delivered the morning of the wedding. She made beautiful buttonholes for my husband and best man and went as far to create matching ones from artificial flowers for my two young boys!

Katie & Pete

Laura was amazing creating the flowers for our wedding. We discussed the colour scheme and theme and she created the perfect bouquet for myself, my bridesmaids and our buttonholes. Laura is an excellent listener and super patient at what can be a stressful time. She is fair and reasonably priced and also delivered my flowers on the morning of the wedding. A very stress free experience and highly recommend.

Laura was amazing from start to finish creating the most beautiful flowers for our wedding day from bouquets to table centre pieces to button holes and corsages thank you so much for going above and beyond to source everything we specifically wanted and more...

Jade & Aaron

Laura has been the first call for my husband for flowers ever since we got together. He knew I loved bright colours so always ordered a gerbera bouquet. When we decided to get married we knew instantly the floral theme and it had to be Laura. She worked above and beyond for my bouquet, buttonholes and bridesmaid flowers. Absolutely beautiful!

We couldn’t recommend Laura at Ellen Rose Florist more highly! From the very start, she was an absolute dream to have helping us. We had no clear idea of what we wanted for our wedding flowers but Laura guided us through all the options, helping us choose something perfect while staying within our budget. She kept in regular contact throughout the entire process, updating us on everything and answering any questions we had. On the day, she delivered our beautiful flowers to two separate locations and everything was absolutely stunning. We couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out. The arrangements were gorgeous and exactly what we had hoped for. If you're looking for a florist who is not only talented but also incredibly thoughtful and reliable, we highly recommend Ellen Rose Florist! Thank you so much Laura for making our day so special!

Beth & Matt

We cannot recommend Laura enough! She is a fabulous florist and would definitely recommend anyone to use Ellen rose florist. I was really unsure what flowers we wanted, so I left it to Laura, told her the colour scheme and asked her to do the bouquets, vases and top table arrangement based on the info. She did the most amazing job - the bouquets were beautiful, vases for table decorations stunning and top table arrangement lovely. All the flowers worked well together and we were super impressed. Communication from Laura was fabulous, she kept us fully up to date and was happy to answer any questions we had. I knew we did not need to worry about anything. Thank you so much - you did the most wonderful job and I would recommend anyone looking for wedding flowers to go to Ellen rose florist.
