Make This Look: Dreaming In Blue. A Romantic Wedding

Is there anything more classic than a cream and blue color palette? It’s fresh, crisp, and instantly sets the scene for a timeless garden-style wedding. Imagine walking into a reception space filled with lush greenery, soft white blooms, and pops of dreamy blue. It feels effortless and elegant all at once.

One of the best professional secrets to making a reception space feel dynamic and full is mixing your centerpiece heights. When you alternate between dramatic tall arrangements and lush low ones, you create a stunning visual rhythm that draws the eye around the room. It makes the ceiling feel higher and the space feel bigger, all while giving your guests plenty to look at.

If you are ready to unleash your creativity and save some room in your budget, here is how you can recreate this "Dreaming in Blue" look yourself.

1. The Bridal Bouquet

Your bouquet is the most photographed arrangement of the day, so we want it to feel special. For this look, we are aiming for a loose, organic shape rather than a tight ball.

Start by prepping all your stems—strip the leaves off the bottom two-thirds so your handle stays clean. Begin with your greenery to create a "nest" or base structure. Italian Ruscus and Silver Dollar Eucalyptus work beautifully here to give that garden vibe. Next, add your focal flowers. Paper White Garden, Playa Blanca Roses and Creamy White Spray Roses are perfect for that creamy, romantic texture.

As you build, turn the bouquet in your hand and add stems at an angle (this is called the spiral technique). weave in your blue accents—Soft Blue Designer Tweedia adds an amazing delicate texture and that crucial pop of color. Finish by wrapping the stems tightly with floral tape and covering it with a ribbon that matches your dress.

2. The Growing Meadow

A "growing meadow" is a ground arrangement that looks like flowers are naturally sprouting from the floor. These are perfect for lining your ceremony aisle or placing in front of the sweetheart table.

You will need a low, long tray or plastic liner filled with soaked floral foam or chicken wire for mechanics. Start with your greenery, but unlike the bouquet, you want these stems to reach outwards and upwards to cover your mechanics completely.

Once your green base is set, group your flowers. Placing two or three blooms of the same type together creates more impact than spotting them around individually. Use taller stems like White Delphinium and White Larkspur towards the back and center to give height, and tuck shorter blooms low to hide the tray. The goal is an organic, wildflower feel.

3. Tall Centerpiece

This is where you get that "wow" factor as guests walk in. Tall centerpieces draw the eye upward and add volume to the room without blocking conversation across the table (because the flowers sit above eye level!).

For this arrangement, you will need a tall stand or vase (usually at least 24 inches high). To get that lush, full look without spending a fortune, Hydrangeas are your best friend. They take up a lot of space and offer great coverage.

Combine blue hydrangea and white hydrangea to create a fluffy, cloud-like base at the top of the stand. Their large heads do a lot of the heavy work for you. Once your Hydrangeas are secure, poke in stems of greenery that drape down slightly to soften the edges. You can add a few Roses or Delphinium stems shooting out from the Hydrangeas to break up the shape and add that whimsical garden flair.

4. Low Centerpiece

To balance out the drama of the tall arrangements, your low centerpieces should be grounded and lush. These are great for round tables or filling in gaps on long banquet tables.

Using a low bowl or compote vase, build a shape that is wider than it is tall. You want your guests to be able to see each other easily over the flowers. Mirror the ingredients you used in the tall centerpieces to keep everything cohesive. Start with greenery spilling over the rim of the vase, then nestle in your white roses and blue accents.

Since these will be viewed up close, this is a great place to use your most perfect, open blooms. Make sure you turn the arrangement as you work so it looks beautiful from every seat at the table.

Creating your own wedding flowers might seem like a big task, but breaking it down arrangement by arrangement makes it totally manageable.
