The Making of a Floral Arrangement

Wedding floral arrangements can be placed all throughout your ceremony and reception. Here are a few of spaces that I recommend to clients on the optimal placement for visual impact and enjoyment:

Wedding table centerpieces

• think of your wedding guests connecting, laughing and enjoying their time together while celebrating you as a couple

Guest Book Table:

• this is a place where the excitement of documenting which guests joined in celebration the day of your marriage

Memorial Table:

• to honor the ones you love that are unable to be with you physically

Cake Table:

• i mean it’s a cake table, why wouldn’t you want put a fun floral arrangement around everyone’s favorite part of the meal

Here’s the process I use to design floral arrangements:

Floral Color Palette:

*When given the floral color palette for a wedding or event I see what flowers are available in-season

*I pick flowers that move and work well together

Shape:

*This depends on where the floral arrangement will be placed

*Most the time my floral designs are a flowing garden style

Placement:

*I layer groups of one type of flower, meaning I like to take one type of flower and make it’s own arrangement and then add the next flower and so on

Editting:

*I take a lot of photos of floral arrangements to see what I may need to move or what is really working

Wedding Day:

*The day of the wedding I will adjust as needed once placed on a table. There is movement when transporting and I want to make sure that it displays a piece of art on every table.

It takes time, patience and a whole lot of practice to bring a wedding floral arrangement to life for you on your wedding day. I love every minute of the process and my intention is for that it shows how much I really care about you as a couple and your day.
