A Guide to Personal Wedding Flowers

Bridal Bouquet Rutland

Your bridal bouquet is a moment-defining masterpiece. It’s your bridal signature—chosen to complement your gown, echo your style, and capture every cherished photograph. Romantic, meaningful, exquisite—it’s your floral love letter.

Bridesmaids’ Bouquets Rutland

These are delightful companions to your bouquet—smaller yet still full of life. Whether they softly echo your blooms or dance in complementary tones, they bring unity and beauty to your bridal party.

Flower Girl Touches

Mini bouquets, petal baskets, or delicate crowns—whimsical, adorable, and perfectly in step with your floral story. These details connect every generation in your celebration.

Groom’s Boutonnière Rutland

A small floral accent worn over the heart—often mirroring the bridal bouquet. Thoughtful, elegant, and symbolic of his role in your day.

Boutonnières for the Wedding Party

Extend this charm to fathers, groomsmen, ushers, and ring bearers. It’s a sweet gesture that honors their presence and unites the day’s aesthetic.

Corsages for Female Relatives

Mothers, grandmothers, aunts—elevate their role with wrist or pinned corsages that reflect the wedding palette. Elegant and heartfelt, corsages add a special touch.

Officiant Flowers

A small boutonnière or corsage for your officiant is a lovely, considerate gesture—just be mindful of attire requirements (especially religious garments).

Special Extras

• Ceremony participants: Readers, witnesses, or ring bearers can each have a small token bloom.

• Furry attendants: A fresh, dog-safe floral collar is a delightful way to include pets in your wedding narrative.
