Flowers and styling

Design flowers around your venue and season. Ceremony flowers can often move to the reception. At dry-hire venues, a stylist turns an empty space into your wedding.

Lesson notes

Flowers and styling

Flowers appear in more of your photos than almost anything else. Let's get them right.

Venue and season

Start with your venue and season. Flowers in season cost less and look fresher. In summer, ask your florist which flowers hold up best in the heat.

Ceremony to reception

Make your flowers work twice. Arbour flowers can move behind the bridal table, and aisle flowers onto guest tables. Ask your florist to move them while guests are at canapés.

An empty space becomes yours

A stylist brings furniture, linen, lighting and signs, and turns an empty space into your wedding. It matters most at dry-hire venues, farms and private properties.
