Adding Personal Touches to Your Wedding Flowers

Choosing wedding flowers that truly reflect your personality and love story can feel tricky, especially if you’re looking for ways to make them unique beyond just selecting a colour scheme. At Plum and Petal, we believe every wedding should be a personal and meaningful experience, and we love incorporating special touches to make your floral designs even more unique—if that’s something you’d like!

In this blog, we’re sharing a few creative ideas to help you add personal touches to your wedding flowers, making them even more special for your big day.

Personalise Your Bouquet Ribbon

This may seem like a small detail, but it’s an easy way to add a meaningful touch to your bridal bouquet! You could simply select a ribbon in your favourite colour or go a step further by wrapping your bouquet with a cherished fabric, such as a loved one’s handkerchief, for a sentimental nod to family traditions.

For something extra special, consider personalised embroidered ribbons, which you can find on platforms like Etsy and Not On the High Street. Whether it’s your initials, wedding date, or a short meaningful phrase, a custom ribbon adds a deeper layer of significance. As long as it can be professionally secured, we’re always happy to bring your vision to life!

Incorporate Flowers with Personal Meaning

Is there a flower that has always held special significance for you? Maybe it’s one that reminds you of a loved one, a favourite childhood memory, or even the first bouquet your partner ever gave you. Adding a meaningful flower to your bouquet or floral arrangements is a beautiful way to make your wedding flowers uniquely yours.

If there’s a particular bloom that’s important to you, let your florist know as early as possible—we always love working with couples to include personal floral elements wherever we can!

Add a Family Heirloom or Personalised Charm

This is a popular choice among many of our brides! Attaching a sentimental charm or a meaningful message from a loved one to your bouquet handle is a simple yet powerful way to carry a piece of your family history with you as you walk down the aisle.

To ensure your bouquet stays intact, we recommend securing the charm with a separate piece of ribbon rather than attaching it directly to the professionally bound handle. This prevents any damage or misshaping of the bouquet’s original design. If you’d like, we’re more than happy to attach it for you upon delivery—just let us know! Also, be mindful of the charm’s weight, as anything too heavy could affect the balance of your bouquet and alter its overall look.

Choose a Floral Style You Truly Love

Finally, the most important tip—choose a floral style that YOU love! Don’t feel pressured to follow trends, replicate someone else’s bouquet, or select a design just because it’s expected. Your wedding flowers should reflect your personal taste and the vision you have for your big day.

Whether you prefer understated elegance, lush and extravagant florals, or a mix of colours and textures, embrace what feels right for you. If you love soft, neutral tones, go for it! If you dream of a bold, vibrant bouquet, don’t hold back! Stepping outside your comfort zone can lead to stunning, unforgettable florals that are uniquely yours.

At the end of the day, your wedding flowers should be as personal and special as the rest of your celebration. Whether through sentimental charms, meaningful blooms, or a design that speaks to your heart, these small touches can make all the difference. We’d love to help bring your floral vision to life—let’s create something truly unforgettable together.
