Florals That Elevate Your Destination Wedding (And Travel Well!)
Florals aren’t just decor—they set the entire tone of your wedding day. For destination weddings, choosing the right blooms is more than just picking pretty flowers—it’s about selecting designs that can handle travel, climate, and still deliver that wow-factor.
Here’s how to make sure your florals elevate your destination wedding, no matter where in the world you say "I do."
1. Choose Blooms That Can Withstand the Journey Not every flower is built for travel or warmer climates. Opt for hardy yet elegant options like roses, orchids, ranunculus, and eucalyptus. These florals maintain their beauty even in Mediterranean heat or seaside breezes.
Pro Tip: Local flowers are often fresher, more affordable, and tie your wedding to the destination’s natural charm.
2. Embrace an Organic, Airy Design Destination weddings pair beautifully with loose, garden-style arrangements. Think flowing greenery, soft textures, and a "just-picked" feel that complements outdoor villas, beaches, or historic venues.
3. Repurpose Your Ceremony Florals Maximize your floral investment by reusing ceremony arrangements at your reception. Arches, aisle flowers, and statement pieces can easily transition to frame your sweetheart table or dance floor.
4. Consider Sustainable Floral Practices Eco-conscious couples are leaning into foam-free installations and locally-sourced blooms. It’s a beautiful way to honor both the environment and the culture of your destination.
5. Work With a Planner Who Knows Florals When your wedding planner is also your floral designer (hi, that’s me!), you get a cohesive vision from start to finish. No miscommunications—just seamless, stunning design tailored to your venue, color palette, and travel logistics.
