Where Should I Focus My Budget?

June 4, 2025

If you're feeling unsure where to invest in flowers...

Focus on high impact moments

start here:

  • bridal bouquet - your most photographed accessory

  • ceremony feature - the backdrop to your vows

  • reception focal points - like the bar or the bridal table


Not every area “needs” flowers

Instead of trying to tick every box, focus on statement moments that make the most impact...

you don’t need:

  • buttonholes and corsages for everyone

  • aisle florals

  • signing table florals

Unless budget permits / it feels important to you personally - not just because you feel like you “have to”


The beauty of repurposing - Maximise your floral investment by repurposing key pieces

think:

  • ceremony florals moved either behind, at the base of the bridal table or to frame the cake

  • welcome sign florals repurposed to the seating chart


The takeaway? - prioritise

You don’t “need” flowers everywhere.

But when you focus on a few key, high-impact moments, your day will feel beautiful, intentional, and you.

Meaningful design always leaves the biggest impression.
