Common Questions About Botanical Weddings:
What is a botanical-themed wedding?
A botanical wedding is like walking into a romantic garden dream. It’s filled with greenery, delicate florals, and natural textures – all wrapped in a soft, elegant atmosphere. Think eucalyptus garlands, hand-tied bouquets, linen details, and invitations that feel like pressed flower art. If you love nature with a touch of poetry, this theme is so you.
What colors work best for a botanical wedding?
Soft greens like sage and eucalyptus, paired with whites, creams, blush pinks, dusty rose, and even muted golds. Want a little drama? Add a hint of deep forest green or burgundy. It’s all about earthy, romantic tones that make everything feel grounded and magical.
Can a botanical wedding work indoors?
Absolutely! Bring the garden inside. Think floral installations hanging from the ceiling, greenery climbing up the walls, and candlelit tables with wild arrangements. Even a small space can feel enchanted with the right mix of plants and textures.
What kind of flowers suit a botanical wedding?
Ranunculus, garden roses, anemones, peonies, hellebores – anything soft and romantic. Mix them with greenery like ferns, olive branches, or eucalyptus for that effortlessly lush look. The goal? Like you picked them in a secret garden (but way more polished).
What’s the difference between botanical and rustic weddings?
Rustic is more barnwood, burlap, and mason jars – botanical is softer, greener, and more garden-like. Botanical weddings lean into elegance and natural beauty, while rustic is more cozy and homespun. You can definitely mix them, but botanical keeps it more ethereal and refined.
What should a botanical wedding dress look like?
Flowy, romantic, and maybe even floral-embroidered! Lace, tulle, or chiffon work beautifully. If you want to go all in – try leafy appliqués or a dress with soft green accents. Add a flower crown or a wild bouquet and you're a literal woodland goddess.
How do you decorate for a botanical wedding?
Start with layers of greenery, soft neutral linens, and warm lights. Add fresh blooms, textured stationery (hello, deckled edges!), and details like wooden signage or vintage vases. Keep it soft, natural, and cozy – like the inside of a fairytale greenhouse.
Can I still have a botanical wedding in winter?
Yes, yes, and yes. Use deeper greens, add candles everywhere, and choose winter-friendly florals like hellebores and white amaryllis. Wrap it all in velvet ribbons or soft textures and voilà – cozy, botanical winter wonderland.
