If you’ve started the wedding planning process and are feeling a bit overwhelmed by Pinterest and Instagram, we are here to help! There are tons of trends and popular themes it is tough to weed through to find what you really love. We are breaking down some of our favorite wedding themes, what flowers are best and how to make your vision come to life!
Boho Weddings
This one is for all those free spirits! The boho look has grown in popularity in the last few years and will continue to be on the rise. Utilize earth tones and combine textures to give your wedding the perfect bohemian flair. For your bouquets, hand-tied are best to give that wild and free feeling. When creating your centerpieces, focus on lots of lush greenery first, then organically add in blooms for a free flowing feel. Don’t forget some mismatched rugs down the aisle or a seating area with floor pillows and you will be set for boho beauty!
Flower Favorites: Ivy, fern, wildflowers, thistle, daisies, spider mums, freesia, sunflowers, and protea
Backyard Weddings
With the extra limitations and precautions with COVID, there has been a resurgence of the backyard wedding. From intimate garden ceremonies to big bashes, a backyard wedding is a great option for couples who want something personal they feel a connection to. With a big open space to work with, utilize florals and decor to create smaller areas so guests know what is happening where. Flower covered arches or floral backdrops are a great way to highlight your ceremony spot. For the reception, consider smaller scaled centerpieces and use string lighting to set the mood.
Flower Favorites: Greenery garlands, hydrangea, lavender, delphinium, pompons

Vintage Weddings
With the love of Old World nostalgia, vintage themes are not going away any time soon for weddings. This style is great for including heirloom pieces from your families to really make things personal. Add in vintage touches with mismatched chairs and china (maybe some from Grandma’s collection?) and lace linens. For centerpieces, floral covered birdcages or eclectic candlestick holders add the perfect vintage vibe.
Flower Favorites: Garden roses, lisianthus, scabiosa, snapdragons, ferns

Romantic Weddings
If you have been dreaming of a wedding abundant with candles and lush florals, a romantic wedding style is for you! Add some drama with oversized or cascading bouquets. For your decor, think elegant chandeliers and overflowing centerpieces with lots of greenery and garlands. For your florals, it is all about the fluffy blooms like peonies, garden roses, and dahlias for that lush texture.
Flower Favorites: Seeded or silver dollar eucalyptus, Italian ruscus, peonies, garden roses, ranunculus, anemones, and dahlias.
