How To Choose Wedding Flowers

Suncoast Flowers • November 9, 2020

If you are currently planning a wedding, Congratulations! and don’t worry, we are here to help!


There are slightly more than 1000 things to try and sort out when a wedding is just around the corner, and for many people, flowers are one of the most important but at the same time one of the most unknown!


Here at Suncoast Flowers, we spend a lot of time organising wedding flowers for happy couples all over the region, and we always like to involve and educate them as much as we can along the way. With that in mind, here are some top tips for wedding flowers from an expert florist on the Sunshine Coast.

Consider Your Wedding Venue

This is something that a lot of brides don’t think about, but it can be really important! Think about your wedding venue. Talk to your florist about where you are getting married, and they will be able to make the best suggestions based on the decor and architecture that you are going to be surrounded by on your big day. If your venue already has flower arrangements, you need to decide if yours will work with them or if they can be removed for your event.

Research Flower Meanings

If you don’t have a specific favourite flower in mind, a fun way of coming to a decision about what to have is by researching what the meanings and historical associations of individual flowers are. From roses to violets to lilies and more, every flower has a different meaning and you might come across one that means something special to you.

Colour Match Your Flowers With Dresses

Whether you are going to be a bride in white or something a little different, it is absolutely essential that the flowers you choose are right for the colour of your gown! This goes for the bridesmaids too and remember that it is perfectly ok for your bridesmaids to have completely different flowers to you as long as they fit the overall theme. It is your day after-all.


If you are in need of the services of a florist on the Sunshine Coast for your wedding, then please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.


Have a talk with one of our trained and experienced team members here at Suncoast Flowers about the style and theme of your wedding, and they will be more than happy to make suggestions and recommendations to match. We very much look forward to being able to add something to your special day!
