Finding your Wedding Floral Style

Your wedding flowers should feel like you. Maybe you’ve always dreamed of a romantic, garden-inspired bouquet, or maybe you’re the bride who wants bold color and flowers that feel a little unexpected.

Whatever your style, the flowers you choose can completely change the feeling of your wedding day.

Here are some of our favorite flowers for the bride who wants…

Romantic

For the bride who wants soft, feminine, and effortlessly romantic flowers. Think lush blooms, delicate textures, and plenty of movement.

Try: Garden roses, peonies, ranunculus, sweet peas, lisianthus, spray roses, anemones

This style is beautiful in soft blush, ivory, peach, dusty pink, or a mix of romantic pastel tones.

Colorful

For the bride who believes more color = more fun.

Colorful wedding flowers don’t have to mean every color in the rainbow. We love choosing a few unexpected shades and layering them together to create something playful and full of personality.

Try: Dahlias, ranunculus, zinnias, cosmos, tulips, snapdragons, delphinium, poppies, lisianthus

Think coral and pink, butter yellow and lavender, red and blush, or any combination that simply makes you happy.

Whimsical

For the bride who wants her flowers to feel like they could have been picked from a fairy garden.

Whimsical floral design is all about movement, airiness, and unexpected little details. Think flowers dancing in different directions, delicate stems, unusual shapes, and arrangements that feel almost like they’re growing rather than being arranged.

Try: Cosmos, sweet peas, scabiosa, nigella, poppies, butterfly ranunculus, larkspur, feverfew

The key here is embracing a little imperfection. Flowers don’t all need to face the same direction or sit at the same height. Let them move.

European

For the bride who dreams of an old European garden, a romantic countryside estate, or a long dinner table surrounded by flowers.

European-inspired floral design feels effortlessly undone. Flowers are abundant without looking overly structured, with a mix of delicate blooms, larger focal flowers, and beautiful greenery.

Try: Garden roses, calla lilies, ranunculus, hydrangeas, tulips, lisianthus, stock, antherium, peonies, amaranthus

Pair them with soft, slightly muted colors and let the flowers have room to move. The goal is that beautiful “I just gathered these from the garden” feeling, even when every stem has been thoughtfully chosen.

Moody

For the bride who wants something dramatic, romantic, and a little unexpected.

Moody florals are perfect for fall weddings or anyone who wants to step away from traditional blush and white. Deep burgundy, wine, plum, raspberry, and chocolate tones can create so much depth.

Try: Burgundy dahlias, dark roses, scabiosa, anemones, chocolate cosmos, amaranthus, calla lilies, brown lisianthus, deep-toned hydrangea

And don’t be afraid to mix moody colors with lighter flowers. A little blush or peach against deep burgundy can make the entire palette feel even richer.

Garden-Inspired

For the bride who wants her wedding to feel like a garden in full bloom.

Garden-inspired florals are lush, abundant, and organic. Think overflowing arrangements with layers of different bloom sizes, textures, and shapes, almost as if everything grew together naturally.

Try: Garden roses, peonies, dahlias, ranunculus, delphinium, foxglove, hydrangea, lisianthus, cosmos, sweet peas

Unlike the airy, playful feeling of whimsical flowers, garden-inspired design is all about abundance. More blooms, more texture, more layers, and that beautiful feeling of being completely surrounded by flowers.

So… which bride are you?

The best wedding flowers aren’t necessarily the ones that are trending or the ones you saw in someone else’s wedding. They’re the flowers that make your wedding feel like you.

And you don’t have to choose just one.

Maybe you’re romantic with a colorful side. Maybe you love the whimsy of delicate flowers but want the abundance of a garden-inspired design. Maybe you’re drawn to European style but want a moody color palette.

That’s where the fun begins.

At Bell’s Flowers, we love taking all of those little pieces of inspiration and turning them into a floral design that feels intentional, personal, and completely your own.

From the garden, with love,

Isabel
