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

lavender palette

Florals

  • —Lavender bundles as ceremony and table accents
  • —Wisteria (seasonal, spring)
  • —Pale lilac sweet peas and lisianthus
  • —Dusty purple veronica and allium

Decor & linens

  • —Lavender and lilac linen in soft tones
  • —Silver or pewter metallic accents
  • —White candles for contrast
  • —Purple ribbon as a tying element throughout
Lavender is romantic and ethereal. Pair with soft white, sage green, blush, and silver. Avoid saturated purple — it shifts the mood from romantic to dramatic.

Season planning

summer wedding tips

  • —Golden hour in summer falls late — often 8–9pm — which gives you a long, beautifully lit reception window
  • —Shade is essential for outdoor daytime ceremonies: position the altar so guests face away from the sun
  • —Keep guests cool with hand fans, chilled water stations, and breathable seating arrangements
  • —Floral hydration is critical in heat — work with your florist on conditioning and misting
Golden hourSummer golden hour lasts 30–60 minutes before sunset and produces the warmest, richest light of the year.

Things to consider

  • ·Book air-conditioned transport for the wedding party
  • ·Ice-cold signature drinks or a granita station keeps guests happy during cocktail hour
  • ·Confirm venue has power for fans or misting systems if outdoors all day
