Flowers for Small Weddings – Tips and Inspiration from a Bristol Wedding Florist

Intimate weddings – Floral design ideas and inspiration

Small weddings are becoming increasingly popular, and with good reason. They offer a more intimate and personal experience for the couple and their guests. When it comes to wedding flowers for small weddings, there are some tips and inspiration to consider.

Personal flowers for Intimate weddings

Firstly, consider the size of your wedding party. With a smaller number of guests, you can afford to splurge a little more on each individual floral arrangement. This means you can opt for more luxurious blooms or a statement bouquet that really gives a wow factor.

Ceremony flowers for Intimate weddings

You don’t have to think small with your wedding flowers. Consider statement pieces , such as large urn arrangements or floral arches. These can add a touch of magic to your small wedding and create a beautiful memory for you and your guests.

If you are wanting to make the most of your budget why not have an elegant arrangement for your ceremony or registrars table. Then re-use this for your wedding breakfast table.

Table Flowers for Intimate weddings

For a small wedding you are likely to be using a room with one large table for all your guests. Without the large number of tables to dress you can go all out on some beautifully luxurious table florals. This will create a wonderfully memorable experience for you and your guests.
