Four parts of a wedding flower plan

The bridal bouquet

The bridal bouquet is often a focal point in wedding photographs. Consider its size alongside the dress, the shape of the flowers and how its colours work with the rest of your wedding decorations.

Bridesmaid bouquets

Bridesmaid bouquets can complement the bridal bouquet through similar colours, flowers or shapes without needing to be identical. If you want several bouquets to coordinate closely, it’s worth checking the available designs and shades together before ordering.

Buttonholes

Buttonholes add a small floral detail to the groom’s outfit, the wedding party or other guests. Think about their size, shape and how they’ll sit against the clothing. If fastening accessories are important, check what’s included in the individual listing.

Ceremony and table flowers

Flowers can be used along the aisle, on the top table and across guest tables. Start by deciding where you’d like arrangements, then choose the sizes, colours and quantities that suit your venue and budget.

Choosing between fresh and artificial flowers

Fresh flowers can be a lovely choice for a wedding, especially if their scent, seasonality and natural changes are part of what you enjoy. A seasonal bridal bouquet from a local florist may be exactly what you’re looking for.

Artificial flowers offer a different kind of flexibility. You can plan arrangements ahead of time, coordinate decorations across different parts of the venue and keep pieces afterwards if you wish. You don’t have to choose one or the other for the entire wedding — both can have their place.

Questions before you order

A few practical things worth knowing before choosing artificial flowers for your wedding.

Are artificial flowers tacky for a wedding? −

Not necessarily. Artificial flowers can look beautiful at a wedding when their shapes, colours and proportions work well together. Look closely at the petal layers, flower centres, foliage and the way the arrangement is put together. Some designs have a softer, more natural appearance, while others are intentionally bold or decorative — neither is automatically a sign of poor quality. If you’re unsure, try a single stem in a vase at home and see how it looks in your own lighting before choosing flowers for the whole wedding.

Are artificial wedding flowers cheaper than real ones? +

Not always. The overall cost depends on the number and size of the arrangements, the flowers you choose and any services involved. Artificial flowers can be a practical option if you’d like to prepare decorations in advance or keep them afterwards. It’s worth comparing the full cost of each option rather than assuming one will always be cheaper.

Can you mix artificial and real flowers? +

Yes. Fresh and artificial flowers can work well together, whether you mix them in the same arrangement or use them in different parts of the wedding. Pay attention to their colours, shapes and proportions, especially when they’ll be displayed close to one another. Natural light and indoor lighting can also affect how the colours appear together.

How far in advance should we order? +

I’d recommend ordering several weeks before your wedding rather than relying on the usual 7–12 working-day delivery estimate. Delivery can occasionally take longer, and you’ll want time to check the flowers and make any adjustments before the day. If you need several pieces in matching colours, it’s worth getting in touch before ordering to check the available options.

Will the bridesmaid bouquets match each other? +

I can’t promise that every bouquet will be identical, even when they’re ordered together. Small differences in colour and detail can occur between designs and batches. If you need several bouquets to coordinate closely, email me before ordering with the quantities and colours you have in mind, and I’ll check what’s available.

What do you do with them afterwards? +

You can keep your wedding flowers as a reminder of the day, arrange a few stems at home or use them for another occasion. If you no longer need them, you might consider giving them away, donating them or selling them, depending on their condition.

Can you use artificial flowers on a wedding cake? +

Artificial flowers can be used as decorations around a wedding cake, but they shouldn’t come into direct contact with the cake or icing unless they’re confirmed as suitable for food contact. If you’d like flowers as part of the cake display, speak to your cake maker about a suitable arrangement that keeps decorative materials separate from the food.

Will I be charged anything when the parcel arrives? +

Import duties and taxes are arranged in advance, so you shouldn’t need to pay any additional import charges when your parcel arrives. If a courier asks you for an import payment, please email me with the details so I can look into it.

Not sure it will match?

Send a photo of the dress or the swatch. I will tell you plainly whether I have something close, or whether I do not.
