What kind of flowers will you have at your wedding? Will you have flowers at all?

When we got married, my floral budget wasn't high on my "must increase" list. I loved the idea of candles, mirrors, beautiful place settings - but flowers? Not a priority. We had some simple arrangements on the tables, some tiny bud vases, and a few arrangements hanging from the ceilings, but that was it. It was perfect, and just what I was looking for.

I've seen wedding decor comprised of only candles. I've seen weddings where floral arrangements, branches, and buds spilled from the ceiling, walls, and all surfaces. I've seen a bride carry a vintage cross down the aisle, and I've seen elaborate boutonnières - as well as no boutonnières at all!

This gorgeous Hudson Valley wedding opted for foliage and ferns, which fit their aesthetic perfectly. If you love flowers, and want to prioritize them as a large part of your wedding day, you should do absolutely that. If having elaborate, large, or complicated floral arrangements is something that you never really envisioned for your wedding, you should absolutely not have them.

Don't let anyone tell you that you need to decorate your wedding in a way other than exactly the way you want to decorate it. Carry whatever you want down the aisle. Pin whatever you would like to the lapel of your suit, or don't pin anything on it at all. Your day is your day, and you should decorate it the exact way that you want.
