What Wedding Flowers Do We Need?
Use your wedding flowers to set the tone and reflect the wedding of your dreams. You may want to be surrounded by romantic, delicate blooms, or make a statement with flower or colour choices, you may want all foliage and natives for a rustic forest vibe, or you may just want to keep it super simple and let the dress and the venue speak for themselves. There are so many ways flowers can set the tone for the day!
Full disclosure, you are asking a florist so my short answer would be — flowers go well on everything! But it’s not my wedding, it’s yours, so you can have your flowers exactly how you have dreamt about them! While the usual starting point is bouquets and buttonholes, however your wedding is set up, you want to make sure it feels like you as a couple.
Below is a list of the most common floral pieces we do, to give you some inspiration of what could be possible for your wedding. And if there’s something you’re dreaming of that isn’t on the list get in touch — I wasn’t kidding that I love to put flowers on everything!

Furry Friends
If you're looking for a doggy floral collar or something similar, we’d love to do one.
If you’re wanting a pet sitter on the day we recommend you check out Veils and Tails. They can take you and your four-legged family member through the steps to see what they’re comfortable with and we’ll make a floral piece accordingly.
Extras
Extra corsages and buttonholes are also available for distinguished guests who are close family members, chosen family or who may have travelled a long way to get to the wedding. These are always greatly appreciated.
If you’ve got an idea I haven’t covered here please ask me, I’d love to make it work for you.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, hope you have a fab perfect day on your day of days!
