How to Choose the Right Flowers for Your Wedding Theme

Thursday, May 8, 2025

Your wedding flowers do more than just look beautiful

They help tell your story. From the colours you choose to the style of your bouquet, your floral arrangements should reflect the theme and feeling of your day. Not sure where to start? We're here to help!

1. Start with Your Wedding Theme

Before choosing your flowers, think about the overall style of your wedding. Is it romantic and vintage, modern and minimalist, or rustic and earthy? The theme helps guide everything, from your bouquet to your table arrangements. Here are a few popular wedding themes and flower pairings:

Romantic

Soft roses, peonies, ranunculus in blush, ivory, and dusty pink

Boho

Wildflowers, dried florals, pampas grass, and muted tones

Modern

Monochromatic palettes, orchids, calla lilies, sleek greensoft roses, peonies, ranunculus in blush, ivory, and dusty pink

Rustic

Sunflowers, dahlias, eucalyptus, and garden-style bloomsoft roses, peonies, ranunculus in blush, ivory, and dusty pink

Classic

White roses, hydrangeas, greenery with timeless structureoft roses, peonies, ranunculus in blush, ivory, and dusty pink


2. Choose a Colour Palette That Compliments Your Day

Think about your dress, the bridesmaids' outfits, and your décor. Are you using soft neutrals or bold pops of colour? Your flowers should complement the full visual story, not compete with it. Tip: If you're unsure where to start, go with one main colour and build around it with tones, textures, and greenery.

3. Don't Forget the Season

Seasonal blooms are not only more affordable, but they also tend to look fresher and last longer. If you're getting married in Edmonton, seasonal flowers vary throughout the year, and we're happy to guide you through what's available during your wedding month.

4. We Source Local & BC Flowers for Summer Weddings

Summer is one of our favourite times for weddings—not only for the weather, but because of the incredible variety of flowers available locally and from BC growers. From delicate dahlias to lush garden roses, we love creating arrangements that reflect the beauty of the season while supporting local farms whenever possible. Using locally sourced flowers means fresher blooms, better quality, and a bouquet that feels like a true celebration of Alberta's summer.

5. Think Beyond the Bouquet

Your bouquet is the star, but there are other key places flowers can make an impact — like ceremony arches, table centrepieces, boutonnieres, and even the cake! When your flowers are thoughtfully styled across all your details, everything feels cohesive and intentional.

6. Work with a Florist You Trust

This is where we come in At The Lavender House Flower Shop, we love helping couples bring their floral vision to life. Whether you have a mood board ready or no idea where to start, we'll help you choose flowers that suit your theme, your personality, and your budget.
