How to Pick My Wedding Flowers: A Step-by-Step Guide
Your wedding flowers are one of the most important elements of your special day, setting the mood and enhancing the overall aesthetic. Whether you’re dreaming of a classic, romantic vibe or something more modern and bold, choosing the right flowers can make all the difference. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of picking the perfect flowers for your wedding – and if you need help, we’re here to make it easy for you!
1. Consider Your Wedding Theme
The first step in picking your wedding flowers is to consider the theme or style of your wedding. Are you going for a rustic, boho look, or is your day more elegant and traditional? Flowers can enhance your theme and tie all your décor together. For a romantic theme, roses and peonies work beautifully, while native Australian blooms like proteas and eucalyptus add a more natural, earthy feel.
If you’re unsure which flowers will match your theme, we can help you with inspiration and guidance. Simply visit our wedding flowers gallery for ideas tailored to your style.
2. Work with Your Venue
When choosing wedding flowers, it’s essential to consider your venue. Outdoor weddings in gardens or by the beach might require fewer flowers as the natural setting provides a beautiful backdrop, while indoor venues might benefit from more elaborate arrangements. A professional florist will help you understand how to enhance your venue with the right floral designs.
Our team at My Wedding Flowers has worked with venues across Australia, and we know exactly how to complement any setting with stunning floral arrangements. We’ll work with you and your venue to create the perfect look for your big day.
3. Choose Seasonal and Locally Sourced Flowers
One of the best ways to ensure fresh, beautiful flowers is to choose blooms that are in season. Seasonal flowers not only look their best but are also more budget-friendly. We specialise in sourcing local, seasonal flowers that are perfectly suited to the time of year and your wedding location.

4. Match Your Colour Palette
Your flowers should complement your overall colour scheme. Whether you want your bouquets to blend with your bridesmaids’ dresses or stand out as bold statement pieces, we can design floral arrangements that fit your vision. From soft pastels to vibrant hues, there’s a wide range of floral options to suit every palette.
