Talk to Your Florist About This (Atlanta Wedding Tips)
Flowers are one of the most beautiful parts of your wedding day.
They bring everything together—your colors, your style, your overall vision.
But beyond how they look…
there are a few small, strategic decisions that can make a huge difference in how your day flows—and how your photos turn out.
After photographing weddings across Atlanta, these are the conversations I always recommend having with your florist.
Why Your Florist Timeline Matters
Florals aren’t just décor—they’re part of your story.
When they’re delivered and placed intentionally, they elevate:
Your getting ready photos
Your portraits
Your reception experience
1. Deliver Bouquets to the Getting Ready Location
This is the #1 thing most couples don’t think about.
Bouquets are often delivered to the ceremony site…
but by then, we’ve already missed some of the most meaningful photo moments.
Instead, ask your florist to deliver:
Bridal bouquet
Bridesmaids’ bouquets
Boutonnières
👉 To wherever you’re getting ready
This allows us to:
Include flowers in your getting ready photos
Use them during pre-ceremony portraits
Create a more cohesive gallery
2. Ask for Extra Loose Stems & Greenery
This is a small detail that makes a big visual impact.
Ask your florist if they can include:
A few extra blooms
Loose greenery
Leftover stems
I use these for:
Styling invitation photos
Adding texture to detail shots
Creating a more editorial, finished look
It’s a simple request that elevates your entire gallery.
3. Be Intentional with Head Table Flowers
Florals at your sweetheart or head table are beautiful—but placement matters.
During toasts, you’ll be:
Sitting
Laughing
Reacting
And we want to see your faces clearly.
Instead of placing arrangements directly in front of you, ask your florist:
Can we offset them slightly to the side?
Can we keep them low or structured?
This keeps your design intact without blocking the moment.
A Final Thought
Your flowers are more than just decoration.
They’re part of how your story is told—through color, texture, and the little details that make your day feel like you.
A few thoughtful conversations with your florist can make everything feel more seamless, natural, and beautifully documented.
