How to Choose the Perfect Wedding Style Bouquet
Your wedding bouquet is more than just a beautiful accessory, it’s a reflection of your personal style, your love story, and the season in which you’re celebrating. Whether you envision something wild and garden-inspired, soft and romantic, or sleek and modern, choosing the right bouquet can feel both exciting and overwhelming.
Below are three guiding principles to help you create a bouquet that feels intentional, timeless, and deeply meaningful.

1. Pick Seasonal Flowers
One of the most important elements in designing your wedding bouquet is working with what nature is already offering. Seasonal flowers not only look more vibrant and fresh, but they also carry the spirit of the time of year you’re getting married.
Spring might bring airy ranunculus, sweet peas, and delicate anemones. Summer offers lush dahlias, zinnias, and fragrant roses. Autumn leans into rich tones with marigolds, cosmos, and textural grasses. Winter can be equally stunning with hellebore, camellia, and evergreens woven throughout.
When you embrace seasonality, your bouquet naturally feels connected to your wedding day and the landscape around you - as if it truly belongs to that moment in time.

2. Focus on One Color Palette
Rather than trying to include every flower you love, consider centering your bouquet around a cohesive color palette. This helps create harmony not only within your bouquet but across your entire wedding design.
You might choose soft blushes and creams for a romantic look, warm peaches and corals for a sunlit summer feel, or deep burgundy and plum for a dramatic, moody aesthetic. Sticking to one main palette doesn’t mean your bouquet has to be flat or boring. In fact, layering different textures, shapes, and tones within that palette can add incredible depth and interest.
Your bouquet should feel like a natural extension of your overall wedding vision, complementing your dress, your venue, and your personal style.

3. Buy Local Farm Flowers
There is something truly special about carrying flowers that were grown with care in your own community. Local farm flowers, from places like us at Seven Stars Flowers & Farm, are often fresher, more unique, and more sustainable than imported blooms - and they tell a beautiful story.
When you work with Seven Stars Flowers & Farm where flowers are grown right here in San Diego locally, your bouquet becomes a celebration not only of your love but of the land around you. You’re supporting a small business, reducing environmental impact, and incorporating blooms that are authentically tied to your region.
Plus, locally grown flowers tend to have more personality - interesting shapes, heirloom varieties, and a flower farm-fresh quality that feels organic and alive.
Bringing It All Together
Your wedding bouquet should feel like you - personal, intentional, and full of meaning. By choosing seasonal flowers, focusing on a cohesive color palette, and supporting local growers like us, you’ll create something that isn’t just beautiful, but truly reflective of your love story and the day you’re celebrating.
When your bouquet is rooted in nature, season, and community, it becomes more than just flowers - it becomes a memory you’ll carry with you long after the last petal has fallen.
