Questions to ask your vendor

What to ask before you book

  1. 1.Do you have experience designing with genuine restraint - single stems, intentional negative space, and no filler flowers?
  2. 2.Can you source architectural-quality vessels in concrete, ceramic, or raw clay rather than standard florist vases?
  3. 3.How do you ensure a minimal brief doesn't read as underdone to guests expecting a more decorated venue?
  4. 4.Is the venue's existing aesthetic neutral and clean enough to support a minimalist treatment without competing visually?
  5. 5.What's your approach to the ceremony arch - how do you make a near-bare structure feel intentional rather than incomplete?

Color palette

white palette

Florals

  • -All-white peonies, roses, and ranunculus
  • -White garden roses with soft greenery
  • -White tulips or narcissus (spring)
  • -White dahlias with silver brunia

Decor & linens

  • -White and ivory linens - mix textures to avoid flatness
  • -Silver or mercury glass accents
  • -White candles of varying heights
  • -Greenery as the only color contrast
All-white works best when you vary textures - matte linen, glossy ceramics, sheer organza. Add warmth with candlelight and greenery to avoid a cold, clinical feel.

Season planning

spring wedding tips

  • -Schedule your ceremony mid-morning or late afternoon - spring light is soft and diffused all day
  • -Seasonal blooms like peonies, tulips, cherry blossom, and ranunculus are at peak availability and lowest cost
  • -Have a backup plan for spring showers - a tent or covered option protects the day
  • -Spring temperatures are ideal for outdoor ceremonies: guests are comfortable without fans or heaters
Golden hourGolden hour in spring falls around 7-8pm depending on location - plan toasts or first dances to coincide.

Things to consider

  • ·Book florals early - spring weddings compete heavily for peony and cherry blossom availability
  • ·Venue gardens may not be at peak bloom until May - confirm timing with your venue
  • ·Allergies: check if any guests have severe pollen allergies if using heavy floral arrangements
