As I reflect on my wedding season, I thought it could be helpful for all the 2024 brides out there to share some insight. In my opinion, a good florist goes a long way with making the wedding day look and feel elegant. This blog is a chance for me to share a few of my favorite bouquets and flower arrangements crafted from the best florists around Missoula.

—— Garden City Floral ——

Not in any particular order, the first florist I want to rave about is Garden City Floral. They did a few weddings I photographed this year, and everytime it was a pleasure to work with them. The first wedding was an early June wedding with a blush, mauve and cream color scheme. The bouquets exceeded everyone’s expectations and matched the bridesmaids' dresses perfectly, which is hard to do. The other wedding that I want to share, was a fall wedding with rust, terracotta and oranges colors. A completely different look from the first, but yet I was still blown away with the florals. Garden City Florals, you guys are amazing!

—— Bitterroot Flower Shop ——

Another stand out florist that absolutely killed it this year was Bitterroot Flower Shop here in Missoula. The October wedding they were a part of with me was very extravagant, primarily due to the florals alone. The burgundy, cream, peachy-orange and tan color scheme set the stage for this beautiful fall wedding.The bride’s bouquet was the largest I had all season. It was unreal gorgeous!! All the tables had stunning arrangements, as well as the ceremony arch, the cake table, the wooden barrels and gift tables. When I say florals were everywhere, I truly mean this wedding was spectacularly covered in gorgeous arrangements. Bitterroot Flower Shop takes care of business. So amazing!!

—— Blooms by Bella Floral ——

Last, but certainly not least, Blooms by Bella Floral created my personally favorite bouquet of the entire wedding season. The flowers and tones she used look so luxuriously breathtaking. They complemented the dusty blue, cream, and rust theme perfectly. I love how none of the greenery was too dark and heavy, but the perfect setting to highlight the flowers. She also did table centerpieces, a stunning ceremony arch and different decor arrangements around the reception. Not to mention, she included a few floral scraps for me to use for bridal detail photos. You guys know how much this helps me out while styling your beautiful jewelry or invitation suite. What a lifesaver and what a gorgeous job!!

All in all, there are so many great florists around the Missoula area. I can’t wait for the 2024 season and to share more about my favorite arrangements from the entire year. I will say this until the day I die, you will never regret investing in a florist. It makes a night and day difference for your wedding day. 

Happy Wedding Planning Beautifuls!!
