Choosing the Right Flowers for your Wedding Day in Wakefield

Here are a few ways flowers can vary according to the theme:

• Traditional weddings tend to feature classic flowers like roses, lilies and peonies. These usually come in structured arrangements.
• Vintage weddings include flowers like hydrangeas, lavender, and garden roses with a slightly worn, antique look.
• Rustic weddings look wonderful with wildflowers, sunflowers, and daisies. Our florists in Ossett can create relaxed, natural arrangements that reflect this theme.
• Contemporary weddings often feature exotic flowers, orchids and succulents in minimalist designs that can add a modern touch.

It helps to set your budget beforehand.

It’s no secret that weddings can be expensive. Setting a clear budget early on will help you decide which arrangements are right for you. Always be transparent with your florist about your budget so they can make the best recommendations.

Why pick Amaryllis Floral Design as your florist in Wakefield?

We always work hard to bring your vision for your wedding to life. Our florists are based locally near to Wakefield and have experience in wedding arrangements.

As you’ll see from our pictures, we create floral arrangements for all kinds of weddings. We’re always happy to provide expert advice on seasonal availability and cost-effective alternatives to particular flowers. You can also rely on us for innovative ideas.

The season often has a big impact on which flowers people choose.

Choosing seasonal flowers not only ensures better availability and freshness but can also be more cost-effective. Here's a brief guide to seasonal flowers in the UK:

• Spring is when tulips, daffodils, peonies and lilacs are readily available.
• Meanwhile , summer is the time for roses, sunflowers, lavender and sweet peas.
• Autumn brings us dahlias, chrysanthemums, asters, and marigolds.
• For winter weddings, holly, ivy, poinsettias, and amaryllis are popular.

Seasonal flowers can enhance the theme of your wedding and align with the natural beauty of the surroundings.

The colour scheme of your wedding is another critical factor.

Flower arrangements should complement the overall palette of your wedding decor. For instance, they should go with the colours of the bridesmaids' dresses, the venue, and other important parts of your decor.

Some people like to use varying shades of the same colour for a sophisticated look. Others like to use complementary colours opposite one another ont he colour wheel, like blue and orange, for a striking look.

Alternatively, you might want to use what’s known as analogous colours. These are next to each other on the colour wheel (such as purple, blue, and green, which offer a harmonious blend).

Consider what types of arrangements you would like.

Common types for weddings include:

• Bouquets for the bride and bridesmaids. The bride’s bouquet is typically more elaborate, while bridesmaids’ bouquets can be simpler but complementary.
• Boutonnieres for the groom, groomsmen, and close family members.
• Ceremony flowers. These might include altar arrangements, pew or chair decorations, and aisle markers.
• Flowers for the reception. Centrepieces for tables, entrance arrangements, and cake decorations.

Amaryllis Floral Design can ensure that arrangements for each part of the venue harmonise with each other for a cohesive look.

Don’t forget those finishing touches.

Incorporating personal touches into your floral arrangements can make your wedding uniquely yours. This could include flowers that have sentimental value, such as those that were part of your parents' or grandparents' weddings, or blooms that represent something significant in your relationship. Additionally, using locally grown flowers can add a personal and environmentally friendly touch.

We will coordinate with you to ensure the flowers arrive fresh and are set up well before the ceremony starts. If your venue has multiple locations (e.g., different sites for the ceremony and reception), we plan for the efficient transportation of arrangements if needed.

Choosing the right wedding flower is not just about personal tastes, but practical considerations and creative flair.

Our florists take the time to get to know your vision, can recommend seasonal options, and ensure your arrangements align with your colour scheme and venue.

We can create stunning floral displays that enhance the beauty of your special day. Remember, flowers are not just decorations but should be a reflection of your unique love story. They’re one of those details that make a wedding day memorable and enchanting.
