Hi Lovebirds,

Wedding flowers and décor – they set the tone, create a breathtaking backdrop, and reflect your unique love story. But where do you even begin, especially when faced with a sea of Pinterest boards and endless options?

Fear not! We're here to guide you through the exciting (and sometimes overwhelming) world of wedding flowers and décor, step-by-step.

​Purchase our Wedding Guide for simple wedding templates to help you plan your wedding decor.

1. Finding Your Color Palette: Flowers and décor are all about creating a cohesive atmosphere. Deciding on a color palette – whether it's soft and romantic pastels or bold and dramatic jewel tones – will be your guiding light in choosing flowers, linens, table settings, and more.
2. Setting the Stage: The Budget: Before diving headfirst into Pinterest inspiration, be honest with yourselves about your budget. Flowers and décor can quickly add up, so set a realistic budget, then add a little wiggle room for unexpected finds or last-minute adjustments.

4. Mood Board Magic: Don't underestimate the power of a mood board! Collect images from magazines, websites, and even your favorite Instagram accounts to visually represent the style you envision. This will help you communicate your vision to vendors and ensure everything flows seamlessly.
5. Prioritize & Plan: Most venues will provide some basic décor elements (think chairs and tables). Make a list of what's included and what you still need. Feeling overwhelmed? Consider purchasing our wedding guide – it includes a handy décor checklist template to keep you organized.
6. Requesting a Quote & Making Choices: Once you have a clearer picture, request quotes from florists and decor specialists. Here's the key: Be realistic! Work through your list, prioritizing must-haves, nice-to-haves, and wouldn't-it-be-lovelies. This will help you stay within budget without sacrificing your dream wedding aesthetic.
