Your wedding flowers should do more than look pretty—they should tell a story. At BLOOM Sonora, we believe floral design is a deeply personal part of your wedding aesthetic. Whether you’re drawn to romantic garden-style blooms, modern minimalism, or bold, whimsical palettes, your floral choices can beautifully reflect your style, your love story, and the vibe of your big day.
Here’s how to choose wedding flowers that feel true to you:
1. Start With Your Overall Wedding Vision
Before diving into specific blooms, consider your overall theme and setting. Are you planning an elegant vineyard wedding, a rustic mountain celebration, or a chic downtown soirée? Your flowers should complement and enhance your venue and décor.
2. Find Floral Inspiration That Matches Your Style
Browse Pinterest, Instagram, and real wedding blogs (check out our features in Florists’ Review and Zola!) to see what resonates with you. Take note of colors, textures, and arrangements you’re drawn to. Then, share those ideas with a floral designer you trust—we’ll help interpret them in a cohesive, elevated way.
3. Think About Color, But Stay Flexible
Have a color palette in mind, and be open to seasonal blooms. Certain flowers may not be available year-round, but a creative designer can suggest stunning flowers at any season that match your vibe and stay within budget. BLOOM Sonora always uses what’s the most fresh, prioritizing local first.
Pro Tip: We love using seasonal California-grown flowers for the freshest, most vibrant arrangements.
4. Trust Your Florist’s Expertise
One of the biggest gifts you can give yourself during the wedding planning process? Hiring vendors you trust—and letting them do their thing. At BLOOM Sonora, we specialize in turning your inspiration into artfully designed florals that bring your celebration to life.
Our most joyful and impactful weddings come from couples who give us creative freedom to interpret their vision with our signature style.
5. Prioritize the Floral Moments That Matter Most
If you’re budget-conscious, focus on high-impact pieces and ones you may be able to repurpose: your bridal bouquet, ceremony arch, and head table are seen and photographed the most. Let us help you decide where your flowers will have the most visual (and emotional) impact.
