Wedding Flowers Guide: How to Choose the Perfect Florals for Your Big Day
Planning a wedding is a magical journey, and one of the most exciting parts is choosing your wedding flowers. Flowers don’t just decorate your venue—they set the mood, capture your personal style, and create memories that will live on in your photos forever.

Flowers are more than just decoration; they symbolize love, joy, and new beginnings. On your wedding day, they:
- Set the tone for your celebration, from classic romance to boho chic.
- Enhance your theme by complementing your color palette and venue style.
- Highlight key moments, from walking down the aisle with your bridal bouquet to sharing your first dance surrounded by floral centerpieces.
- Create lasting memories captured in every photograph.

From Passion to Petals: The Story Behind The Wild Stem Studio
Hello, I’m Terri – the face (and hands!) behind The Wild Stem Studio, a local florist studio born.
I’ve always had a passion for flowers. There’s something incredibly grounding and joyful about working with nature’s beauty — the textures, the colours, the movement. For years, life kept me busy, and like many women, I put my passions on hold while taking care of everything else. But going through the menopause gave me a wake-up call. It was a time of reflection and honesty — and I asked myself, “What do I really love? What would make me feel alive again?” The answer was simple: flowers.
And that’s how The Wild Stem Studio was born.
This isn’t just a flower business. It’s a creative expression. Every arrangement I create is bespoke, thoughtfully put together with a touch of wild beauty and a lot of heart. I like to think that my personality shines through each bouquet — a little unexpected, a little luxurious, and always personal.
What sets The Wild Stem apart is that I don’t follow the traditional florist formula. I believe in flowers with soul — unique combinations, rich textures, and a flair that’s completely one-of-a-kind. Whether it’s for a wedding, a special occasion, or just because, I want people to feel something when they receive flowers from me.
I’m proud to run a studio that’s rooted in passion, creativity, and a bit of rebellion against the ordinary. It’s never too late to do what you love — and this is what I love.
Thank you for following along with my journey. Whether you’re a flower lover, a customer, or just someone looking for a little inspiration — welcome to The Wild Stem Studio.
