Minimalism is all about stripping back any unnecessary detailing and showing the subject in its basic form. The focus is not on flamboyant arrangements, but displays that are simple and striking. For instance, you may choose a bridal bouquet to match a gown that is slinky and sophisticated and lacks frills, layering, lace and sparkles, so the emphasis is on clean lines, elegance and a non fussy look.
If you are having a minimalist wedding, white is a popular colour to choose and symbolises innocence, purity and simplicity. It also represents a fresh start or new beginning, which is perfect for the start of a couple’s new life together. And, the splendour of white is that it is a very traditional choice for nuptials. This article focuses on some ideas for couples choosing a white and minimalist theme.
The good news is that if you are having white wedding flowers at your Essex venue, this colour works well with almost any decor. So, whether you are tying the knot in one of the county’s ancient churches or country houses, or whether you are choosing a fabulous contemporary building, your arrangements will coordinate perfectly with the interior.

Among the most popular white flowers for weddings are Roses, Calla Lilies, Lily of the Valley, Gardenia, Tulips, Ranunculus (which is related to the buttercup), and Lisianthus. For scent filled blooms, Freesias and Lily of the Valley are wonderful flowers to incorporate into a white bouquet.
Bridal Bouquets – Clutching a white bouquet with fresh green foliage, and light detailing such as ribbons or pearls is a very elegant and classic look for a bride. In an all white hand tie, the foliage is just as essential as the flowers and can bring a wonderful design element into the bouquet. Bouquets featuring Orchids and Lily Grass look fabulous and contemporary. However, if you want a more country wedding look, consider Daisies, Roses, Aster and/or Sweet Peas in a hand tie.
Button Holes – Button holes and corsages are smaller arrangements worn by some of the most important guests in the wedding party. Flowers are worn by male guests on the button holes of the lapels of jackets, and corsages are pinned onto the jackets or dresses of the female guests. They can be as delicate and minimal as you like, and again, foliage plays an important part in the overall design and finish.
Wedding Venue – Floral displays are an essential part of a wedding venue and whether you marry in a church or a country house, they add the all important romantic touches and detailing. If you are after a minimalist look, think of wreaths at the base of beautiful lit candles arranged on window sills, pretty blooms on the end pews, and striking, yet simple pillar displays.
Wedding Reception – Blooms are a vital part in setting the scene at the venue you choose for your wedding reception. Among some of the possible arrangements for a minimalist wedding you might include Orchids or Roses artfully displayed in clear vases, or pomanders (kissing balls) hung from beams or archways, and used in table arrangements. The cake is a centrepiece and can be brought to life with beautiful white roses or other white wedding flowers for your Essex venue.
Other Flowers – The flowers are not just centred on the bride, the wedding party and the venues, they can also used to decorate the outside of the building, or to enhance certain architectural features as the guests make their way into the venue. Minimalist displays can be used to decorate archways, doorways, banisters, and pillars, and create the all important show-stopping factor. Not forgetting, minimalist blooms can feature on the back of the wedding car and create a wonderful backdrop to pictures of the happy couple that will always be treasured.
