Floral Accessories
Another way to incorporate floral patterns into your bridal outfit is to wear floral accessories. You can wear a floral crown, a floral hair clip, a floral necklace or bracelet. Or how about adding some floral detailing into your wedding day shoes for a subtle nod to the season.

Bridesmaids Outfits
Dress your bridesmaids in floral patterns. Your bridesmaids can also join in the floral fun by wearing dresses with floral patterns. You can choose dresses that match your wedding colours or mix and match different patterns for a more eclectic look. Floral bridesmaid dresses can be long or short, fitted or flowy, depending on your preference.

Floral Stationery
Your wedding stationery can also reflect your floral theme by using floral patterns and motifs. You can use floral invitations, save-the-dates, menus, programs, place cards, and thank-you cards.
Decorate your cake with flowers
Your wedding cake can also be a showcase of your floral theme by using fresh or sugar flowers as decorations. You can choose flowers that match your bouquet or centrepieces or go for a more contrasted look.
