Flowers are an essential part of any wedding day. From the girls' bouquets, to the guys' boutonnieres, the table center pieces, and the ceremony decor - florals really bring the whole day together. We curated these helpful tips to get you started with planning your perfectly coordinated wedding day florals!
Find Your Style.
Pinterest is probably already your best friend when it comes to planning your wedding. Make sure to browse different styles of bouquets! They can come in all shapes, sizes, colors, arrangements, and aesthetics. Don't be afraid to look up a Boho style bouquet even if you think you're more into a classic look. You could find yourself pulling different details from different aesthetics to create your own unique style. Don't be scared to try something different, like this cosmic crystal infused bouquet by @ronnieflowerrfloral!
Consider The Season of Your Wedding.
This tip could be one you didn't necessarily think about! If the flower you have your heart set on is out of season for your wedding, you can always ask your florist to import them! Just keep in mind, this will bring the price up, especially if you have a large bridal party.

Use Swatches to Coordinate with Clothing.
Your bridal party will be in a good amount of your wedding photos - an easy way to ensure their is no clashing of shades is to coordinate with swatches! Afarose offers free swatches with any dress order. Swatches are important so you can touch, feel, and see the true color in person before the big day. Colors can look a bit different online vs in person! You may even find you prefer complimentary colors - like these teal dresses with orange flowers!

Start with the Bride's Bouquet.
If you're not sure where to start, begin with perfecting the bridal bouquet. This will have the most detail and different kinds of flowers. The bridesmaid bouquets will be smaller and usually have less flowers, and boutonnieres typically only have one or two. It will be super easy to pull from the bridal bouquet to ensure a flawless coordination.

Don't Forget about Greenery.
Greenery is the foundation of a great bouquet. It is important for creating structure and building a nice canvas for the flowers to stand out. Greenery can really define a bouquet's shape and style. One type of greenery can make your look boho, while another can make it completely rustic, all while using the same focal flower. Our favorite types of greenery are Eucalyptus, Ivy, Fern, or Lemon Leaf.
