Flowers for a Milwaukee Wedding: Your Guide to Beautiful Blooms in the Cream City

By Fleur of Love – Wedding Florals in Milwaukee & Chicago

Milwaukee is full of charm, history, and vibrant personality—which makes it the perfect backdrop for a wedding that’s as unique as your love story. Whether you're saying “I do” in a historic mansion, along Lake Michigan, or in a cozy brewery downtown, your wedding flowers should reflect the beauty and emotion of the moment.

At Fleur of Love, we specialize in creating bespoke floral designs that are personal, romantic, and full of meaning. Here’s your guide to planning the perfect flowers for your Milwaukee wedding—plus inspiration from local venues and seasonal favorites.

1. Let the Venue Inspire You

Milwaukee offers such a diverse range of wedding venues, from modern city rooftops to historic estates. Your florals should complement your setting, not compete with it. Here are a few ideas:

The Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum - A timeless lakeside villa calls for soft, garden-inspired arrangements—think blush roses, trailing greenery, and romantic florals like lisianthus and sweet peas.

The Ivy House - This modern industrial venue shines with bold color palettes—deep burgundy, soft mauve, and pops of peach or rust pair beautifully with the clean lines and exposed brick.

Milwaukee Art Museum - With its striking architecture, go for sculptural arrangements—orchids, calla lilies, and anthuriums bring a contemporary, editorial feel.

Downtown Brewery Venues - Keep it wild + textural. Use local blooms, dried elements, and whimsical touches like chamomile or delphinium for a casual, cool vibe that still feels luxe.

2. Consider the Season

Milwaukee has four beautiful (and distinct!) seasons, so you can lean into seasonal blooms that are fresh, budget-friendly, and reflective of the time of year:

Spring: Peonies, tulips, ranunculus, hellebores Summer: Garden roses, hydrangea, cosmos, sweet peas Fall: Dahlias, amaranthus, scabiosa, autumn leaves Winter: Evergreens, berries, anemones, dried florals, roses

🌸 Pro Tip: Locally sourced blooms not only support Wisconsin growers but also help reduce costs and carbon footprint—without compromising on beauty.

3. Florals Beyond the Bouquet

Don’t forget—your wedding florals go far beyond the bouquet. We love incorporating flowers into:

• Ceremony Arches & Installations Frame your vows with lush arrangements that highlight your personalities and the landscape around you.

• Reception Tablescapes Mix low, organic centerpieces with candles for warmth and romance. Or go bold with tall arrangements to add drama and depth to the space.

• Floral Accents Think staircases, signage, chandeliers, and welcome tables. Even the bar can be dressed up with a few artful blooms.
