Capturing the full essence of flower arrangements in wedding photography requires a thoughtful approach to shot selection.

Here are key shots that should not be missed:

The Bridal Bouquet

This is a must-capture item. Take close-ups to detail the intricacy of the bouquet, and also include shots of the bride holding it. Experiment with angles and backgrounds to highlight the bouquet’s colors and textures.

Boutonnieres and Corsages

Often overlooked, these small flower designs are significant. Capture them both before they are worn and as part of the wearers’ attire, focusing on how they complement the wedding outfits.

Table Flower Decorations and Centerpieces

These shots showcase the theme and style of the event. Capture both wide shots that display the layout of the tables and close-ups that highlight the details and craftsmanship of the centerpieces.

Ceremony Floral Arrangements

Document the setup at the ceremony location, such as altar arrangements, aisle decorations, and any floral arches. These flower arrangement photos should capture both the scale and the finer details within the ceremony space.

Reception Decor

Similar to the ceremony, capture the flower arrangements at the reception. This includes any floral accents on the cake, hanging installations, or decorations on the sign-in table.

Floral Details in Bridal and Groom Attire

Sometimes, floral patterns or accessories are part of the bridal dress or groom’s attire. Capture these details to highlight the floral theme consistency.

Candid Moments with Blooms

Look for candid shots where guests interact with the floral elements, like smelling a bouquet or admiring a centerpiece. These shots add a dynamic and human element to your photography.
