Planning Your Wedding at Chateau Mona
Let’s explore the enchanting world of wedding florals and craft a thoughtful checklist that will transform your special day into a blooming paradise.
▪️ Personal Flowers
Bride’s Bouquet
The bride’s bouquet takes centre stage — it’s the most photographed piece of the day. Choose blooms that reflect your personality, gown style, and wedding theme. Focus on flower quality and design rather than size alone.
Bridesmaids’ Bouquets
Smaller, coordinated versions of your bouquet help tie the bridal party together. Keep them cohesive yet distinct for a balanced, photogenic look.
Tossing Bouquet
Preserve your main bouquet by creating a lighter, smaller version for the bouquet toss — or consider a playful alternative such as a single stem wrapped in ribbon.
Flower Girl’s Bouquet or Petal Basket
A petite bouquet, basket of petals, or even greenery confetti adds a touch of whimsy to your flower girl’s walk.
Groom’s Boutonnière
A refined boutonnière that echoes the bride’s bouquet brings a polished finish to the groom’s attire.
Other Boutonnières & Corsages
Include matching boutonnières and corsages for parents, grandparents, and special guests to create a cohesive family look.
▪️ Ceremony Flowers
Ground Floral Nest Installations
Start your ceremony styling with lush floral nests — ground-based arrangements that look as if they’ve bloomed naturally from the earth. These low, flowing florals frame your ceremony space beautifully without blocking views, creating a romantic garden atmosphere.
Perfect for outdoor or garden weddings, and easily repurposed later for the reception.
Entryway or Welcome Table Arrangements
Set the tone from the first step. Greet guests with lush arrangements on pedestals or a welcome table. If florals are limited, mix in candles, lanterns, or fruit displays for creative impact.
Aisle Markers or Chair Posies
Soft bunches of flowers tied to chairs or small ground arrangements can beautifully define your aisle. These are easy to repurpose later for reception décor.
Aisle Ground Meadows or Petal Runners
Create a garden-like effect with ground meadows of flowers and foliage along the aisle, or scatter petals for a romantic walkway.
Altar, Plinth, or Arch Arrangements
Frame your vows with show-stopping altar designs. Floral arches, grounded floral nests, or paired plinth arrangements make for unforgettable ceremony photos.
Floral Pillars or Freestanding Installations
For an organic, modern look, consider asymmetrical floral pillars that feel as if they’ve grown right out of the ground — perfect for outdoor ceremonies.
Floral Backdrop Wall
A lush wall of blooms or greenery adds grandeur and doubles as a photo backdrop after the ceremony.
Pew End Clusters or Hanging Florals
If you’re marrying in a chapel, delicate pew-end posies or hanging floral hoops can add romance without overwhelming the space.
Ceiling Florals or Hanging Installations
For a fairytale finish, add floating blooms or trailing greenery above the altar or entry arch for depth and drama.
Tossing Petals for Guests
Provide cones or baskets filled with petals, herbs, or dried leaves for a joyful, eco-friendly send-off.
▪️ Reception Flowers
Head / Sweetheart Table Arrangements
Highlight your table with cascading blooms or elegant compotes that mirror your bouquet’s theme. Add candles for warmth and intimacy.
Guest Table Centrepieces
Centrepieces draw the eye and set the reception’s tone. Mix heights and textures for visual interest — from lush low arrangements to graceful tall stands.
Cocktail Table Arrangements
Petite posies or simple bud vases keep the cocktail area elegant and effortless.
Bar & Drinks Station Florals
Dress up the bar with statement pieces or repurposed ceremony arrangements for cohesion and sustainability.
Seating Chart or Escort Table Florals
Enhance the guest experience with subtle florals on your seating chart or escort display.
Newlyweds’ Chair Décor
Add romance with floral chair swags, ribbons, or greenery accents — often created using repurposed aisle pieces.
Wedding Cake Flowers
Coordinate your cake flowers with your bouquet and table florals. Include matching touches on the cake table for a unified look.
