A wildflower wedding feels relaxed, joyful and full of life. It's perfect for barns, meadows, gardens and backyard celebrations. Here's how to bring the wildflower look into every part of your day.
Choose your wildflower palette
Wildflowers come in every color, so pick a direction:
- Warm and sunny: marigold, apricot, coral and soft yellow
- Soft and pastel: blush, lavender, cream and sage
- Bold and moody: deep orange, plum and rust on a dark background
Start with the invitation
Your invitation sets the tone. Our Black & Colorful Wildflowers suite scatters bright blooms across a moody black background, so it feels both rustic and modern. For a softer look, the Elegant Blush Floral Monogram suite uses gentle blush and sage.
Bouquets and flowers
Wildflower bouquets look loose and natural, as if they were picked that morning. Popular choices include:
- Cosmos and zinnias
- Queen Anne's lace
- Chamomile and daisies
- Lavender and wild grasses
- Ranunculus and garden roses for a softer finish
Ask your florist which flowers are in season locally. It keeps costs down and looks more natural.
Decor ideas
- Mismatched bud vases with single stems
- Meadow-style aisle arrangements
- Wooden tables without tablecloths
- A flower bar where guests make mini bouquets
- Seed packet favors with matching tags
Stationery details
Carry the wildflowers through your day-of stationery: a welcome sign, table numbers, menus and a seating chart in the same design. Favor tags and stickers are an easy way to repeat the look on small details.
Attire
Mismatched bridesmaid dresses in colors pulled from your palette look beautiful with wildflower bouquets. Light linen suits keep groomsmen cool for summer.
Timing and weather
Wildflower weddings are usually outdoors, so have a backup plan for rain and heat. Note any outdoor details, like grass or uneven ground, on your details card so guests can choose the right shoes.
Wildflower favors guests will love
- Seed packets with a matching tag, so guests can grow their own wildflowers at home.
- Mini honey jars for a sweet, natural touch.
- Pressed flower bookmarks that double as keepsakes.
- Small potted plants for a summer garden wedding.
Wildflowers for your guest book
Ask guests to sign a page decorated with pressed wildflowers, or set out a framed print of your invitation for signatures. It becomes a keepsake that matches the rest of your day.
