From Garden Romance to Early Autumn Glow: Wedding Flowers We Loved

This summer and fall, we had the honor of creating wedding florals for so many beautiful celebrations. Each couple’s day looked a little different—some chose to have us design every floral detail, while others asked us to create just the bridal bouquet, bridesmaids’ flowers, corsages, and boutonnieres.

And you know what? That’s perfectly okay.

Every wedding has its own budget and priorities. Sometimes the venue provides centerpieces, candles, or silk arrangements. Sometimes a family member wants to pitch in with decorating. But here’s something we’ve learned after years of designing: when it comes to the wedding photos—the memories you’ll treasure forever—the flowers you hold and wear matter most.

💐 The Bridal Bouquet is photographed more than almost anything else on your wedding day. It’s in your portraits, in your “first look,” in the walk down the aisle, in the family shots, in the detail photos—and it becomes a lasting part of how you remember your day.

🌸 Bridesmaids’ Bouquets, Corsages, and Boutonnieres are also front and center in photos, making your bridal party feel polished, cohesive, and cared for.

Even if you decide to keep décor simple or DIY some elements, having professionally designed bouquets and personals takes the pressure off you, ensures quality, and guarantees that your most-photographed flowers will be stunning.

This season, we had the joy of designing both full-service weddings and smaller collections of personals. In every case, our focus was the same: creating florals that reflected the couple’s unique style and looked beautiful in every memory captured.

Deanna + Kenny

Deanna carried a hand-tied bouquet of fresh white flowers and eucalyptus, accented with navy and burgundy wooden flowers. The mix of textures and materials gave her bouquet both a natural softness and a unique, lasting detail she could keep long after the celebration. We also designed coordinating bridesmaids’ bouquets to complete the look. Their wedding at The Empeiria 110 in Rochester, Indiana, provided a beautiful backdrop, and the florals photographed effortlessly to highlight the joy of their day.

Taylor + Kace

Taylor carried a timeless cascade bouquet designed in all white blooms. Roses, garden roses, stock, and ranunculus layered together with baby’s breath and greenery for a flowing, elegant look. As she walked down the aisle at The Hobson in Kokomo, Indiana, the bouquet’s classic style perfectly complemented the setting. Beachy Photo and Film captured the day beautifully, ensuring that the bouquet—and the memories it was part of—will be cherished for years to come.

Novalee + Jacob

Novalee’s bouquet was soft and romantic, designed as a hand-tied mix of blue hydrangea, white Tibet roses, and pink Mondial roses. Touches of eucalyptus and baby’s breath added gentle texture and movement, keeping the bouquet airy and graceful. Their wedding at Serendipity Barn in Kokomo, Indiana, was the perfect backdrop for such a timeless design. One of our favorite images—captured by Bailey Makae Foote—shows Novalee holding her bouquet, beautifully reflecting both the flowers and the joy of the day.

Ally + Austin

Ally carried a muted fall bouquet that blended warm and earthy tones in a hand-tied design. White Tibet roses, peach carnations, cherry brandy roses, toffee roses, and coffee break roses created a layered color story. Scabiosa pods, eucalyptus, cream ranunculus, and a touch of grevillea added depth and texture, giving the bouquet a natural yet refined look. Their wedding at Empeiria 110 in Rochester, Indiana, was beautifully captured by Carly Eads Photography, with each photo highlighting the rich seasonal tones of her flowers.

Seainna + Cody

Seainna envisioned a clean, timeless look with a black and white color palette. Her bridesmaids wore black dresses, which made the all-white bouquets stand out beautifully. For the bouquets, we designed a crisp mix of Tibet and Eskimo roses, creating a refined and elegant look that photographed perfectly. For the ceremony, Cody’s dad built a cross, and we accented it with a white floral garland—simple, striking, and deeply meaningful. Their wedding at The Legacy Barn was captured by Beachy Photo and Film, showcasing the beauty of their flowers and the joy of their day.

Bridget + Tanner

Bridget and Tanner were married on the golf course at the Kokomo Country Club and celebrated afterward in the historic 1904 Room. Their day was beautifully documented by Jessica Newton Photography. With a black-and-white color palette, Bridget added subtle texture through variegated foliage in her bouquet, and we accented it with pearls to tie in perfectly with the detail on her dress.

For the ceremony, they rented our arch, which we dressed in white silk florals for a full and elegant backdrop. We added fresh white flowers on pedestals at the entrance to the ceremony and by the arch, finished with white bow chair treatments accented with greenery and a scattering of rose petals down the aisle. The result was a soft, romantic setting that framed their vows beautifully.

Inside the 1904 Room, the atmosphere continued with classic white centerpieces and elevated florals on the buffet, creating an elegant setting for their celebration.

Kaitlin + Kylun

Kaitlin’s bouquet was designed in a muted fall palette, offering a softer take on seasonal florals. Instead of bold oranges or deep burgundies, her hand-tied bouquet blended toffee roses, cherry brandy roses, pink expression roses, peach carnations, and white disbud mums. Touches of baby’s breath and greenery added light texture and movement, giving the bouquet a gentle, romantic feel. The addition of soft pink tones made her look both autumnal and delicate, a combination that photographed beautifully throughout her wedding day.

Kelsey + Jared

Kelsey’s bouquet came together in such a fun and personal way—she stopped in and chose her flowers right from our cooler. Her hand-tied bouquet featured blue hydrangea, white and lavender stock, with accents of lavender limonium and greenery. The mix created a fresh, airy design with soft pops of color, perfectly reflecting her personality and style. It was such a sweet reminder that even spontaneous choices can come together into something beautiful and memorable.

No matter the size, style, or season, one thing we are always reminded of is how important flowers are on a wedding day. They aren’t just decorations—they’re part of the story, woven into every photograph and memory. From classic white bouquets to soft fall tones, from cascading designs to hand-tied keepsakes, each of these weddings reflected the beauty and personality of the couple.

At Banner Wedding & Event Flowers, we love being part of those once-in-a-lifetime moments. Whether we design every floral detail or just the bouquets and personals, our goal is always the same: to create flowers that bring joy in the moment and last forever in the photos.

If you’re planning your wedding, we’d love to help you bring your vision to life—with flowers that feel timeless, personal, and unforgettable.
