Floral art at weddings plays a fundamental role in setting the mood for the event. It not only beautifies the spaces, but also conveys emotions and meanings through the colours and arrangements selected. In this article, we will explore the meaning of each colour at a wedding, the most sought-after floral arrangements, the types of arrangements suited to each event, and what you need to know about floral art so that your wedding is unforgettable.
The meaning of each colour at a wedding
Each colour has its own meaning and can evoke different emotions at a wedding. White is the most widely used colour, representing purity, innocence and perfection. It is common to find white roses in bridal bouquets and table centrepieces. Red symbolises love and passion, while pink conveys sweetness and romance. Yellow is the colour of joy and happiness, perfect for vibrant, energy-filled weddings. On the other hand, blue represents calm and serenity, and green is associated with freshness and hope.
When choosing the colours for your floral arrangements, bear in mind the atmosphere you want to create and the emotions you want to convey.
Popular floral arrangements for a wedding
Some floral arrangements are especially popular at weddings because of their beauty and versatility. Bridal bouquets are a central element and are usually personalised according to the bride's tastes, using flowers such as roses, peonies, tulips or lilies.
The table centrepieces are essential at the reception and can vary in style, from low and compact arrangements to tall, eye-catching compositions.
The garlands and floral arches are used to decorate aisles and create a romantic atmosphere for the ceremony.
The boutonnières and flower crowns are also popular options for the bridegroom and the wedding party.
Types of floral arrangements for each event
Each event at a wedding requires a specific type of floral arrangement. For the ceremony, floral arches at the entrance or decorations along the aisle add a special touch. The table centrepieces at the reception can vary according to the wedding style, from elegant and sophisticated to rustic and country-inspired. The bridesmaids' bouquets can be smaller and complement the wedding theme.
In addition, flowers can be used to decorate the wedding cake, the signing table and other key spaces. Make sure you choose arrangements that suit the overall style of your wedding and highlight the beauty of each moment.
What you need to know about floral arrangements for your wedding
Planning the floral arrangements for your wedding is an exciting task, but it also requires certain knowledge and considerations. Here are some key aspects you should keep in mind:
Budget: Set a clear budget for your floral arrangements and let us know. This will help us select the flowers and designs that suit your needs.
Wedding style and theme: Is it a classic, modern, rustic or romantic wedding? This will help you select the right flowers, colours and designs that complement the overall style of the wedding.
Seasonality of flowers: Seasonal flowers are usually more affordable and at their best. Find out which flowers will be available during your wedding period.
Consult with the Eiviss Garden Events team: Share your ideas, preferred colours and any inspiration images you have. We can advise you on the right flowers, colour combinations and designs to suit your style and budget.
Consistency in the arrangements: From the bride's bouquet and the bridesmaids' bouquets to the table centrepieces and ceremony decorations, the arrangements should be in harmony and complement one another.
Care and transport of the flowers: Flowers should always remain fresh and well cared for from delivery until they are placed in the different spaces of the wedding.
Symbolic and meaningful flowers: Adding a personal and symbolic touch through flowers can make the arrangements even more special.
Flexibility and confidence: Unexpected issues or last-minute changes may arise, so it is important to allow some room for manoeuvre and let us make any necessary adjustments to ensure the arrangements meet expectations.
