For many, weddings are the time of their lives they want to remember forever. From the flower arrangements to the wedding dress and the bridesmaids outfits, a lot of thought goes into every aspect of a wedding. That’s why it would be a shame if the photos stand out for all the wrong reasons!
If you’re looking to add some interesting aspects to your wedding album, or if you just want it to be a bit different from all the wedding albums you’ve seen to date, you’re in the right place. Some of the basics you need to keep in mind is to always look for your ideal photographer, choose the right lighting, and to not be afraid to get creative.
Here's some great ideas for making your floral themed wedding photos stand out for all the right reasons.
Take Selfies!
The thing about floral themed weddings is that a lot of the finer details can be lost in wide angle or wider shots. If you want to capture natural, intimate, or fun moments, your best bet is to do that with the help of selfies and group photos. You can always as your photographer to add these to their editing list as well to make sure the selfies match the rest of your wedding album and the lighting is right.
Now, if you’re unsure about how you’ll do that, or if you’ve never been good at taking selfies, don’t worry. The internet is full of new selfie poses that you’ve probably never seen before. You can check out some of the websites dedicated specifically to the art of taking the perfect selfie.
The key is to take multiple selfies, and to always take your time with the positioning. Selfies in a wedding album is something that the most fun loving couples and families are beginning to do, and every photo tells a different story and brings the guests' different personalities to the album or guest book.
Choose a Unique Aesthetic
When people mention a floral themed wedding, people think about colourful, feminine, and soft aesthetics, such as cottagecore or a garden wonderland. However, flowers are versatile and capable of so much more than that!
With the right colours of roses mixed with some dainty ribbons and other decorations, your floral themed wedding can be elegant, majestic and mysterious, and even cheerful and colourful. Speak to a wedding florist to find out the options available to you.
You could even choose darker, more luxurious floral arrangements for a more alt-glam feel. This isn’t something a lot of people who have floral themed weddings do, which will only make your wedding (and the wedding photos) more memorable.
A Coloured Wedding Dress
Another trend that’s perfect for a floral focused wedding are colourful wedding dresses. Gone are the days when wedding dresses were something you possibly couldn’t get in any colour but white. Now, brides want to show up to their wedding day dressed in their favourite colours.
You can dress up in pastels or put in a splash of pink, blue, or any other colour in the layers of your white wedding dress for a striking and memorable visual effect. You could also add to your floral theme by wearing a dress that's covered in a floral designs. This will give you the opportunity to show it off in your wedding photos.

Put in the Effort
Planning amazing wedding photos takes time, especially if you want the photos to reflect a theme. You’ll have to choose the right wedding venue, find an aesthetic that you’ll love, and then plan your photos effectively with your wedding photographer so that they can work their magic. You’ll need to talk to them at length about the kinds of poses they recommend, and even go online for inspiration. Then work on how you can recreate those photos, or add your own touches to make them your own.
At the end of the day, the most important thing in your mind should be capturing moments in a way that makes you happy. It’s your big day, and what matters most is that when you look at your wedding photos and look back at the day of your wedding, you’re filled with happiness!
