DIY Floral Ideas for your Wedding
Many flower-loving brides dream of creating the wedding florals on their special day. Arranging a few flowers into bud vases or putting together a bouquet can be a fun activity to do the morning of the wedding with your hens and a glass of bubbles.
Even so, it is important to consider which floral ideas are suitable for beginners and which should be left to the professionals. This article aims to provide some simple designs that are commonly used by our brides to achieve a magical floral atmosphere on their big day.
Monotype Bouquets
Bouquets made up with a single variety of flowers are called ‘Monotype’ bouquets and are very on trend right now. Not only are the elegant, simple and refined, but they may also appeal to those brides arranging their own bouquets.
Classic white flowers for Bridal Bouquets include Sweet Peas (spring), Cosmos (summer) or Dahlia (autumn).
Want to add more colour? Match the shade of the maid’s dresses to the flowers - ideas include Hydrangea (blue), Matricaria (yellow) or Snapdragons (pink),

Simple Ceremony Arrangements
Forget arches or hanging installation - simple ceremony arrangements will elevate your design while keeping it easy to execute. Aisles can be decorated using single stems, small posies or meadow style boxes. Monotype florals in backets or pots is another way to add visual impact without the fuss.
Our Bloom Buckets can be fully customised to suit your palette or design, read more about what’s included here.
Bud Vases
Like single variety bouquets, single stemmed bud vases are also having a moment. One (or a few) wildflowers in petite vases scattered across the table, is a modern way of bringing a floral touch to your wedding. The simplicity of this design of course makes it easy to arrange for beginners.
