How to Achieve Your Dream Wedding Aesthetic with Floristry and Event Styling: with our floral designers 15+ Years of Expertise
Planning your wedding is one of the most exciting and personal journeys you'll embark on, and I’m here to help you make that journey as smooth and beautiful as possible. At Cora Anderson Floristry and Event Styling, with over 15 years of experience, I specialise in creating gorgeous wedding flowers and event styling that reflect your unique style and vision.
Whether you’re planning a wedding in a luxury venue in Glasgow, a countryside stately home romance story, or celebrating your wedding in a historical castle by a Loch in Scotland, the key to achieving the perfect wedding aesthetic lies in understanding your style and what you want your guests to experience.
Here's how you can achieve the wedding of your dreams with floristry and event styling.
1. Start with the End Goal in Mind
The first question I always ask my clients is: "What sort of wedding do you want to have?" Is it elegant and luxurious, relaxed and intimate, modern and dreamy? The next question is just as important: "How do you want your guests to feel on the day?"
Your wedding flowers and styling should serve not just to beautify, but to create an atmosphere that makes your guests feel welcome, loved, and excited to share in your celebration. Beautiful flowers and decor should evoke emotions, and that’s where my experience as a professional florist and event stylist comes into play.
2. Wedding Styling Should Reflect Who You Are
Your wedding should be a reflection of who you are as a couple. The event flowers and styling you choose should embody your personal style and personality. While trends are always evolving in the wedding industry, your wedding aesthetic should be something that feels authentic to you.
At Cora Anderson Floristry, I’ve seen countless couples who are drawn to particular aesthetics, even if they’re a little different from their everyday style. Some clients may prefer a minimalist approach in daily life but want a more maximalist wedding to reflect their aspirations and tastes. Whether you're drawn to luxurious “old money” vibes or the elegance of modern chic, the right flowers and styling can transform your venue into something that feels uniquely yours.
3. The Importance of Your Venue in Wedding Styling
Luxury venues in Glasgow and across Scotland offer incredible spaces to work with, but they don't have to dictate the floral and styling choices you make. I’m a firm believer that your venue should complement, but not constrain, your design. The right florals can elevate any space, from luxurious ballrooms to charming outdoor gardens.
When selecting your flowers and decor, it’s important to balance your aesthetic with the space around you. You don’t want your wedding flowers to overwhelm your venue, but you do want them to shine and add to the atmosphere. After all, flowers have a magical ability to make any event feel more beautiful and inviting. Whether you're going for an opulent arrangement or a soft, minimalist touch, your flowers will add that final, enchanting layer to your wedding.
4. ‘Of the Moment’ Wedding Aesthetics – Luxe, Modern, and Timeless
Weddings evolve with trends, and over the years, I've witnessed different aesthetics come and go. When I started, vintage wedding themes were all the rage. Fast forward to today, and we see more couples opting for elegant, luxurious vibes—think old money, sleek minimalism, or the romantic charm of Tuscan and Mediterranean-inspired weddings which makes me feel the wedding industry is serving it right now.
Some of the most popular wedding styles I’m seeing right now include:
Luxe, old-money vibes
Elegant and chic, with a modern twist
Floral minimalism with a romantic edge
Tuscan and Mediterranean-inspired florals
Modern dreamy aesthetics, with sleek lines
These aesthetics can help you create a wedding that’s both aspirational and personal. Whether you’re looking for a luxurious wedding in Glasgow or planning your wedding flowers in Scotland, you’ll find endless possibilities to curate the perfect look for your celebration.
5. Wedding Flowers – The Heart of Your Design
As a professional event florist, I can’t stress enough how important your wedding flowers are in achieving the right atmosphere. The beauty of flowers lies not only in their appearance but also in their ability to convey emotion. Whether you're drawn to luxurious roses, romantic peonies, or modern blooms, the right flowers will tie your entire wedding together.
At Cora Anderson Floristry, I work closely with my clients to choose event flowers that complement both the venue and the couple’s vision. The right floral arrangements can make a luxury venue feel even more grand, or turn an intimate space into something magical.
6. Bring Your Wedding Vision to Life – Consultation and Inspiration
Now that I’ve shared some of my advice, here’s what I highly recommend you do next: arrange a consultation with a professional florist and event stylist. During our consultation, we’ll discuss your desired aesthetic, your budget, and the practical considerations for your big day.
While you're waiting for your appointment, you can start gathering inspiration on Pinterest, Instagram, or other platforms. Save images that speak to you, whether they’re floral arrangements, wedding decor, or event styling ideas. Once we’ve had a chance to sit down together, we’ll look at your mood boards and curate a wedding aesthetic that’s both beautiful and functional.
