Your wedding day isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s about honouring your love story, your people, your memories. And the best part? There are so many beautiful, subtle (and not-so-subtle!) ways to weave sentimental wedding ideas into your florals and styling. Here are some of my favourites.
Did your mum carry roses? Do hydrangea remind you of your grandparents’ garden? Maybe tulips were your first flowers from your partner.
Including flowers with personal significance, whether it’s a variety, scent, or colour, instantly adds depth to your floral design. And even if they’re not in season, we can find creative nods or alternatives that hold the same feeling.
The ribbon around your bouquet doesn’t have to be just pretty, it can be powerful. Wrap your blooms with:
These quiet, intimate details are often the ones couples cherish most.
Want to carry someone with you down the aisle? Add a photo charm to your bouquet or boutonnière.
You can also frame small florals from a family garden or vintage jewellery into the ceremony setup. It’s a beautiful way to say “you’re with me” without words.
Set up a corner at your reception with framed photos, a small arrangement of their favourite flowers, or candles honouring loved ones. It doesn’t have to be grand, just genuine.
Even your ceremony blooms can be arranged with one special tribute vase, facing the guests, with a quiet note or name attached.
Colours carry memory and meaning. Maybe it’s the golden hour light of your first date, or the soft green of your shared home. Choosing a colour palette that feels like you is just as important as one that looks good in photos.
Your florist (hi, that’s me!) can help guide you toward flowers that match not just the look, but the feeling of your story.
Sentimental weddings aren’t just beautiful, they’re deeply memorable, because they reflect the soul of your relationship. And I sure am a sucker for sentimental touches! Whether it’s subtle symbolism or bold tribute moments, your wedding can be a heartfelt expression of everything and everyone you love.

“Kris was recommended to me by a close friend for wedding flowers and she did not disappoint. The wedding process was a bit daunting for me and Kris took the time to have a chat about styles, flower sustainability and budget. Kris was amazing to deal with throughout the whole engagement, is sustainable and super understanding and smiley to boot. Love what Kris did for us on the day and would recommend Kris to anyone looking for wedding flowers.”
