As we’re on the verge of spring and wedding season, we thought we’d take this opportunity to share our wedding floral process with you. As the first part in a four-part series, part one speaks to how getting the florals right can set the mood and tone of the big day.
Few elements define the ambiance of a wedding quite like the flowers. Whether lush and romantic, sleek and modern, or whimsical and wild, wedding florals set the stage for an unforgettable celebration. At Oleander, we believe that every couple deserves flowers that tell their unique love story, which is why we’ve spent the past 20 years bringing wedding visions to life across the GTA. From grand celebrations to intimate elopements, our services are tailored to the customer and incorporate locally sourced seasonal blooms, ensuring a flawless experience from planning to petals.
The Power of Flowers: More Than Just Decoration
Flowers are more than just a beautiful detail - they create atmosphere, evoke emotions, and tie together the entire wedding aesthetic. The right floral choices can transform a venue, enhance the wedding party’s attire, and even reflect a couple’s personality and values. Whether you envision a timeless arrangement of roses and peonies or a more modern composition featuring proteas and orchids, florals play a crucial role in setting the tone for your special day.
Trending Colour Palettes & Floral Styles
Wedding flower trends evolve with the seasons and the shifting tastes of couples. Here are some of the most sought-after floral styles and colour palettes:
Romantic Pastels – Soft hues like blush pink, lavender, and dusty blue continue to be wedding favourites. Paired with classic blooms like garden roses and ranunculus, these arrangements evoke timeless elegance.
Bold & Modern – Couples looking to make a statement are turning to rich jewel tones, monochromatic arrangements, and sculptural floral designs. Think deep burgundy dahlias, lush chrysanthemums, and striking anthuriums.
Wild & Garden-Inspired – Organic, free-flowing arrangements featuring an abundance of greenery, delicate meadow flowers, and whimsical textures create a natural, effortlessly beautiful aesthetic.
At Oleander, we specialize in bringing these floral dreams to life.
