There’s a reason white and green are such a classic wedding color palette. It’s clean, timeless, and elegant without trying too hard. But if you’re anything like our couples, you want more than a palette that’s just pretty. You want flowers that feel like you.
However, white and greenery don’t have to be basic. In fact, with the right approach, this beloved combination can feel organic, romantic, editorial, even a little wild.
We’ve designed hundreds of floral installations across Austin, Round Top, and all the best venues in between.
Here’s how we help couples embrace the classic palette with a twist, balancing timeless design with texture, personality, and heart.
Let Texture Take The Lead
When you’re working with a neutral palette, texture becomes your best friend. Crisp white roses, wispy vines, velvet-soft ranunculus, spiky pods, or even a few dried elements, each one adds dimension and depth that make the florals feel layered and interesting.
Instead of relying on color to tell the story, we play with:
- Movement-rich stems that create flow and shape
- Unexpected greenery like olive branches or dusty ruscus
- Structural florals like anthuriums or orchids for a bold moment
- Trailing vines to create softness and romance
Texture is what turns just greenery into a story.
Go Big With Shape (Even If You Go Soft With Color)
One way we bring personality into a white and green wedding? Shape and scale.
We love mixing classic elements (think garden roses or lisianthus) with airy, organic shapes to create florals that don’t feel stiff or over-arranged. Whether it’s a sculptural ceremony arch, a hand-tied bouquet that spills like a meadow, or a centerpiece that dances down the table, movement makes all the difference.
Florals should never feel static. They should breathe.
Consider A Hint Of Color
Just because you’re choosing white and greenery doesn’t mean you can’t color outside the lines, literally.
A whisper of blush, a dusty mauve, a champagne rose, or even the subtlest toffee tone can warm up a neutral palette and make it feel more you. You don’t need to fully commit to color to let it peek in.
We’ve even had couples sneak in a bloom that nods to a personal memory, a childhood flower, a favorite garden, or something that subtly ties into the season.
The goal is to keep the clean, minimal feel, but add in just enough to make it personal.
Don’t Sleep On The Vessels & Styling
Sometimes the key to elevating a classic palette isn’t the flower itself, it’s what you pair it with.
We style our installations with intentional details that bring the whole vision together:
- Stone or ceramic vases for an earthy, elevated vibe
- Glass bud vases for a layered, whimsical feel
- Taper candles, linens, and textures that add interest without distraction
If your wedding is at a modern downtown Austin venue like South Congress Hotel, we might bring in structural lines and clean styling. If it’s out in Round Top at a ranch venue, we might lean into natural textures and movement to complement the landscape.
Designing florals that feel like you means looking at the whole picture, not just the blooms.
Trust Your Florist
A classic color palette works best when you let go of perfection and lean into cohesion. Not every bloom needs to match. Not every table needs to look the same. Your flowers should feel curated, not copied and pasted.
The Bloom Bar doesn’t just arrange flowers; we design experiences. We’re here to help you make creative choices that feel editorial but still timeless. Natural but still refined. Elevated, but never overdone.
Whether you’re planning a city-chic wedding in Austin or a countryside celebration in Round Top, we’ll make sure your white-and-green vision comes to life in a way that’s anything but basic.
