The Essential Wedding Flower Checklist

When it comes to wedding flower arrangements, you don’t need everything—just the right things.

💐 Personal Flowers (Must-Have)

These are the flowers you and your wedding party will carry or wear:

• Bridal bouquets (the main bouquet for the bride)
• Bridesmaids’ bouquets
• Boutonnieres (for the groom and groomsmen)
• Corsages (for mothers and special family members)

👉 These are non-negotiables and should be prioritised early in your planning.

---

🌸 Ceremony Flowers

Your ceremony space sets the tone for the entire wedding:

• Altar or arch arrangements
• Aisle flowers or pew ends
• Entrance arrangements

👉 Tip: Choose designs that can be moved to your reception to save costs.

---

🌿 Reception Flowers

This is where your guests will spend most of their time:

• Table centrepieces
• Bridal table (main table) arrangement
• Cake table flowers

👉 Keep it simple or go bold—this is where your style really shines.

---

🚗 Extra Touches (Optional but Impactful)

These aren’t essential, but they elevate the overall look:

• Flower girl petals or baskets
• Wedding car decorations
• Bathroom or lounge flowers
• Photo backdrop floral installations

👉 Add these only if your budget allows.
