Complete Wedding Flower Checklist for Utah Couples
Preparing to meet with your Utah wedding florist ahead of your wedding? It’s time to put together a wedding flower checklist that works for you. Whether you are keeping things simple with personal flowers, or creating a more detailed, immersive floral experience for your wedding, we’ve put together a list of the items you’ll need to check off once you’ve begun the planning process. Below is a detailed checklist of the different flower items our couples create with us for their Utah weddings, keep it on hand for your floral consultation.
Personal Flowers
Personal flowers are wedding day florals directly accompanied by a person, rather than a setting. These flowers will go to you, the members of your wedding party, and immediate family members who will be walking down the aisle during the wedding processional.
Bride's Bouquet
Perhaps one of the most important focal points in the wedding flower experience is the bride’s bouquet. As a bride, your bouquet will become an extension of you throughout your wedding, carried during the most important moments and photographed all day. Oftentimes, the bride's bouquet sets the tone for the other personal flowers in a wedding day collection; it’s not a piece to skimp on when it comes to your overall floral budget.
Toss Bouquet
Not sure if you’re ready to part with your bouquet during the toss, or do you wish to hold onto it to have it preserved or pressed? We can work with you to create a toss bouquet. Your toss bouquet will be a smaller, toned-down replica of your bouquet, which you can freely throw to guests without giving away your bridal bouquet.
Bridesmaids Bouquets
After the bridal bouquet, the next item on your wedding flower checklist should be the bridesmaids' bouquets. These can be created in a variety of styles that complement the bridal bouquet, and carry over notes of color, depth, and blooms, without directly copying the bride's bouquet.
Flower Girl
Part of your wedding party, the floral needs of your flower girl will vary from bridesmaids and groomsmen. Flower girl items to include on your wedding flower checklist include crowns, baskets, and petals.
Boutonnieres & Wrist Corsages
These wearable wedding day flowers should go to your groom, groomsmen, parents, and grandparents. Do not forget your officiant! Your officiant will be walking down the aisle and depicted in a large number of your wedding ceremony photos; providing them with a wearable will be an important part of your photography experience and creating a cohesive wedding day floral aesthetic. The same goes for any ring bearers or ushers who will be an integral part of your wedding ceremony.
