Congratulations on your engagement! As you embark on the journey of planning your wedding, it's essential to approach the process with careful consideration and thoughtful organisation. At Bloom Illusions, we understand the importance of creating a cohesive and beautiful wedding, where every detail, including the flowers, aligns with the venue, theme, dresses, season, and more. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you plan your dream day while ensuring your wedding flowers are the perfect complement to the entire celebration.
Define Your Vision and Theme:
Begin by envisioning the overall theme and style of your wedding. Whether you dream of a romantic garden affair, a modern city celebration, or a rustic countryside gathering, having a clear vision will guide your choices throughout the planning process. This is a really good time to start preparing a mood board, whether that be a collection of photos saved to your phone, or even to a Pinterest board! This way you can keep all your thoughts and images in one place and refer back easily during your planning process. It will help you to select venues and vendors that complement your vision!
Decide on Your Wedding Type - Elope or Celebrate Traditionally:
Before diving into the details of flower arrangements and venue selection, take a moment to decide on the overall style of your wedding. Some couples prefer the intimacy and spontaneity of eloping, while others envision a grand celebration with family and friends. Choosing between an elopement and a traditional wedding can significantly influence the scale, scope, and planning involved.
Our home - The Scenic Rim in South-East Queensland - is full of gorgeous secret places that are just made for elopements! Check out Scenic Rim Elope for all inclusive packages for your perfect day. Find them on Facebook and Instagram!
Pick the Perfect Venue:
The venue sets the stage for your entire wedding, influencing everything from décor to flower choices. Consider the venue's existing features, such as architectural details and landscaping, to ensure your flowers complement rather than clash. Share photos of the venue with Bloom Illusions to aid in the creation of tailored floral arrangements to suit the space!
Confirm and Coordinate Vendor Dates:
Once you've chosen your vendors, it's essential to confirm and coordinate their availability on your wedding date so you don't miss out on their services. This step includes not only the florist (that's us!) but also the venue, photographer, caterer, celebrant and any other key service providers.

Choose Your Color Palette:
Select a color palette that resonates with your theme and personal style. Be open to exploring various shades and combinations, and don't hesitate to gather inspiration from sources like Pinterest, wedding magazines, and blogs. Share these inspirations, along with your chosen colors, with Bloom Illusions to ensure your flowers harmonise perfectly.
Select Dresses and Attire:
Bridesmaids' dresses, groomsmen's attire, and, of course, your wedding gown play a pivotal role in the overall aesthetic. Share photos and details of the dresses with Bloom Illusions, allowing our team to recommend bouquet styles that will enhance and harmonise with the bridal party's attire, without taking away from or overpowering your stunning outfits!
Determine the Seasonal Influences:
While the season of your wedding will not impact your floral choices as artificial flowers are available all year round (woohoo!) they can be an influence to your overall color scheme or theme! Consider moody colour schemes during Winter, incorporating fiery reds and orange for an Autumn wedding or choosing masses of bright happy garden blooms in the warmer months. Share your wedding date and seasonal considerations with Bloom Illusions so that we can suggest flowers that compliment and offer insights into how seasonal elements can enhance your arrangements and overall wedding theme!
Collaborate with Bloom Illusions:
Now that you have a clear vision, share your inspirations, color palette, venue details, and any other relevant information with Bloom Illusions. Our expert florists will work closely with you to craft customised floral designs that elevate your wedding day, perfectly complementing every aspect of the celebration to achieve a fully cohesive vision!
Refine and Finalise:
As your wedding day approaches, collaborate with Bloom Illusions to make any necessary adjustments and refinements. This step ensures that the floral arrangements remain in sync with any changes to your vision or details of the celebration. We contact you regularly through the design and creation process, so don't be afraid to let us know of any changes or additions!
By following these steps and maintaining open communication with Bloom Illusions, you'll not only create a cohesive and beautiful wedding but also ensure that your flowers are the perfect finishing touch to your dream day. Embrace the collaborative process, and let Bloom Illusions bring your floral vision to life, creating memories and floral arrangements that will last a lifetime!
