Many couples these days are steering clear of cookie-cutter weddings and opting to make their big day more personal. From the bouquet the bride carries down the aisle to the table decor that greets guests when they sit down at the reception, wedding flowers offer many opportunities for self-expression. Here are some ideas for customizing your flowers and making your day even more special.

How to Personalize Your Wedding With Flowers

1. Local Color

If you’re having a destination wedding, add some local flair to your flower arrangements by incorporating blooms that are native to the area. For example, use tropical flowers for a Caribbean wedding or wildflowers for a mountain ceremony. If you’re getting married closer to home, choose wedding flowers based on your honeymoon destination.

2. Astrology Signs

Flowers have a symbolic language all their own, and many of them can be used to represent signs of the Zodiac. For couples who enjoy reading their horoscopes together, consider choosing flowers based on your birthdays or wedding date. Some Zodiac-inspired flowers that look gorgeous in wedding bouquets include lavender for Gemini, sunflowers for Leo, and orchids for Aquarius.

3. Mementos

Table centerpieces are an ideal place to show your personality with flowers. Create arrangements with special keepsakes that demonstrate who you are as a couple. For example, if you both love to read, ask your florist to use your favorite book as the theme. For globe-trotting couples, incorporating maps in your floral centerpieces is a great way to commemorate your travels.

4. Team Colors

For couples who share a passion for sports, choose flowers in the colors of your favorite team. Maybe the two of you usually cheer for rival teams, but on your special day you could set the competition aside and combine colors from each of your favorites. If you and your spouse-to-be met in high school or college, using your school colors in your wedding flowers adds a nice personal touch.

5. Memorials

Perhaps your grandfather was known for his beautiful rose garden, and you want to honor his memory by using roses in your bouquet. If you had a beloved aunt named Iris, Violet, or Lily, include those blooms in your wedding flowers as a tribute.
