The Minimalist Look Expressed In Flowers

We know you’ve been feasting your eyes on lush, wild displays of wedding flowers online and in wedding mags for the better part of three years, but today we invite you to rest those eyes upon something else. Something a little more restrained. Something that embodies the essence of simplicity. Floral designs and bouquets that, rather than gush freely, quietly make their point. We’re talking about Minimalist flowers, and you need to see what we mean. Behold, a pared-down approach to ceremony and reception florals.

Minimal? Sure. Smaller? No.

Just because you’re keeping your floral scheme minimal doesn’t mean you have to change the scale of your designs. Here big white flowers with arresting centers are the bloom of choice (and the only bloom), set off by one type of greenery. The ingredients may be spare but the look is not; when only two items are loosely arranged together, it gives off both a clean, minimal feel and a free one. It’s truly the best of both worlds.

Loose, Thoughtfully-Chosen Buds

For an elegant, modern and yet fun look on your reception tables, use clear bud vases or unconventional vessels of varying heights and shapes to collect single stalks and blooms.

Epic Foliage, Succulents & Twine

Going all green (or close to it) is one way to achieve simplicity. Here, foliage, succulents and baby’s breath are gathered together and bound by twine. This is an earthy, organic look that still feels clean and light.

Keep the focus on the event at hand (and the space you’ve chosen to have it in) by paring down your floral decor. The minimal touch can extend to containers and additional decor. Keep groupings to a minimum and focus on one or two colors or textures per arrangement only. Minimal floral decor lends a note of graceful restraint to your wedding, giving it a beautiful, reverent feel.
