From Bouquet to Boutonnière: Choosing the Right Floral Pieces

From Bouquet to Boutonnière: Choosing the Right Floral Pieces

Your wedding flowers do more than just decorate your space - they tell your story in petals and stems. Every floral piece, from the bridal bouquet to the groom’s boutonnière, plays a part in setting the tone for your big day. At Oleander, we believe that each flower should reflect your personality, your relationship, and the atmosphere you’re creating for your celebration. Let’s explore the essential floral arrangements and how to make them your own.

The Bridal Bouquet: Your Signature Statement

The bridal bouquet is, without a doubt, the showpiece of your wedding florals. It’s the arrangement you’ll carry down the aisle, hold in photos, and remember for years to come. At Oleander, we offer two distinct styles that cater to a range of tastes:

Classic Round – A timeless choice for brides who want an elegant, symmetrical look. This style features a carefully curated blend of seasonal premium flowers arranged in a soft, rounded shape. It’s ideal for traditional weddings or venues with a more formal aesthetic.

Garden Style – Loose, organic, and full of movement, this bouquet brings together lush greenery and an artful mix of seasonal flowers. Perfect for romantic garden weddings or more contemporary celebrations, the garden style offers a sense of natural beauty and effortless charm.

Starting at $225, our bridal bouquets are tailored to suit your wedding palette and overall vision, ensuring your dress and setting is perfectly complemented.

Bridesmaids & Flower Girls: Supporting Cast, Spotlight-Ready

Your bridal party’s florals should echo the beauty of your own bouquet while allowing each member to shine. At Oleander, we craft stunning bridesmaids' bouquets that reflect your colour scheme and floral style, creating visual harmony across your wedding photos.

Adult Bridesmaids – Full-sized bouquets start at $150 each, and are customised with the finest seasonal flowers to suit your wedding’s aesthetic.

Junior Bridesmaids & Flower Girls – Scaled-down versions of the bridesmaid bouquet starting at $100, thoughtfully designed to make your younger attendants feel oh so special.

Whether your wedding is sleek and modern or whimsical and wild, your bridal party’s flowers will reflect the beauty and tone of the day.

Corsages & Boutonnières: Small Touches, Big Impact

Wearable florals may be small in size, but they carry big emotional and aesthetic value. Oleander’s corsages and boutonnières are thoughtfully designed with comfort, longevity, and visual appeal in mind. Each piece features a standout flower, soft filler, and delicate greenery - perfect for the groom, parents, grandparents, and special guests.

Boutonnières and pin-on corsages come with pins for easy application and wrist corsages are built on traditional silver elastic bands for comfort and style.

These pieces can be coordinated to match the rest of your wedding florals or designed with unique personal touches - like a flower that holds sentimental meaning or a colour that pops against formal attire.

Flower Crowns & Hair Accessories: Whimsy & Elegance

For a soft, romantic vibe, flower crowns and hair accessories add a magical finishing touch. Starting at $100, Oleander’s designs feature smaller flowers like spray roses and lisianthus buds for a refined, delicate look - perfect for flower girls or boho brides.

Let us know your vision, and we’ll create something uniquely you. From understated baby’s breath to custom crowns that reflect your floral palette, we’ll help you make a statement on your big day!

One of the most meaningful ways to customize your wedding florals is by incorporating flowers with personal significance. Maybe your grandmother’s favourite flower was a rose, or the first bouquet you received from your partner featured sunflowers. These details can be woven into your arrangements to create a floral story that’s deeply personal and unique to you.

At Oleander, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Whether you already know exactly what you want, or need help discovering your style, our expert team works with you to design each piece with intention and care. Contact us here to book a consultation or discuss your upcoming wedding.
