Common Wedding Flower Mistakes (and How to Avoid Them)
Planning your wedding flowers can be one of the most exciting (and challenging!) parts of your big day. As a silk florist, I’ve seen some common mistakes that couples make when it comes to their florals. The good news is that with a little guidance, these mistakes can be easily avoided! Let’s take a look at what to watch out for and how silk flowers can save the day.
1. Not Considering Your Venue Layout
One of the most common mistakes is not taking into account the layout and size of the venue. Oversized centrepieces in a small space can feel overwhelming, while too few arrangements in a large area can feel sparse. It’s important to balance your floral arrangements with the venue’s features. With silk flowers, you can test different designs and placements ahead of time, ensuring everything is picture-perfect.
2. Forgetting About Seasonality
Many couples fall in love with specific flowers, only to find out they’re not in season for their wedding date. With silk flowers, you’re not limited by the seasons. Want peonies in December or sunflowers in April? No problem! Silk florals allow you to design your dream arrangements, no matter the time of year.
3. Overlooking the Impact of Colour
Another common mistake is overlooking how your floral colour scheme will tie in with the rest of your wedding décor. It’s easy to get caught up in choosing your favourite flowers, but it’s important to ensure they complement your dress, your venue, and even your wedding party attire. Silk florals offer the flexibility to perfectly match any colour scheme, and you can tweak shades until it feels just right.
4. Not Personalising Your Florals
Your flowers should be a reflection of you as a couple. Don’t make the mistake of choosing cookie-cutter designs that don’t tell your story. Whether it’s including a meaningful flower that represents your relationship or designing something totally unique, silk florals can be customised to match your vision.
5. Forgetting About the Photos
Your wedding flowers will be in nearly every photo, so it’s important to get the details right! Choosing flowers that photograph well, no matter the lighting, is key. Silk flowers maintain their vibrant colours and structure throughout the day, ensuring that every shot is as beautiful as the first.
I hope this guide helps you avoid these common wedding flower pitfalls and brings you one step closer to your dream day! With silk flowers, you have the freedom to choose exactly what you want, without worrying about seasonality or wilting blooms. Every detail can be tailored to your vision, creating arrangements that feel uniquely you and will look stunning in every photo. Here’s to making your floral dreams come true—stress-free and unforgettable!
