The one wedding decision I still think about... 17 years later.
Not because I regret the venue.
Not because I regret the dress.
Not because I regret the catering, the DJ, the live band, or the bar.
I honestly couldn’t tell you what we paid for any of those things.
But I can tell you exactly what I wish we had done.
More flowers.
When I got married 17 years ago, I was already a florist. My mother-in-law was a florist too. We had every connection, every flower, every reason to create a breathtaking ceremony installation.
And somehow... we didn’t.
Looking back through our wedding photos now, my only regret is that we weren’t standing beneath a beautiful floral statement, surrounded by lush June blooms. Flowers have a way of turning a moment into a memory you can feel, even years later.
This modern blue and white ceremony installation from last weekend is exactly why I believe your ceremony deserves just as much attention as your reception. It’s where your story begins. It’s where you exchange your vows. It’s the backdrop that will live in your photographs forever.
I know wedding budgets add up quickly. Every decision feels like another line on a spreadsheet.
But if there’s one piece of advice I can give after designing weddings for years, and after being a bride myself - it’s this:
I’ve never had a couple tell me, “I wish we’d had fewer flowers.”
But I have quietly wished we’d had more.
If you’re on the fence about a ceremony installation, this is your sign. Your future self will thank you every time you open your wedding album. 🤍💙
