It’s s no secret that I love florals. They smell amazing and create an incredible atmosphere. I’m convinced florals are the best decor not only for showcasing at weddings. They are great additions to every dinner table, events, and gifts for special occasions.

Amazing Ideas for Florals at Your Wedding

Creative Florals at Your Wedding Ceremony

There are countless ways to get creative and showcase florals at your wedding ceremony! Your bouquet is probably the first way that comes to mind and is a great place to start. Boutonnière are another great way to have some fun with wedding florals.

When you think ceremony florals your mind might go to an arch or something similar. To add to that, you can incorporate florals down the aisle on the sides of chairs or pews and floral arrangements at the start of your aisle. Wedding archways and backdrops can be as simple or elaborate as you can dream up- and your florist can help you.

If you’re hosting an outdoor ceremony you have the opportunity to accent permanent features with florals. Adding florals up a tree, adding an arrangement in a sculpture vase, or even accenting a fountain. The possibilities are endless!

Fun Florals Ideas for Cocktail Hour

Cocktail hour is pretty much defined as your closest family and friends getting together and chatting about three things. How your guests know you, how beautiful you are, and discussing every single wedding decoration and detail. Florals are a great showstopper and will keep your guests chatting about our wedding all year!

Talented florists can offer you amazing floral installations to go along with just about any cocktail hour. Create a wow factor at lounge area, spruce up the bar, and arrangements for cocktail tables.

Fine Art Florals for Your Wedding Reception

Whether a ballroom, tent or al fresco style reception there’s no shortage of ways to incorporate beautiful florals! Create a garland trimmed ceiling or hanging floral installation. Have a floral wall background for your photo booth. Showcase florals on your bride and groom chairs. And of course the classics: your table arrangements as well as florals for your cake table and guest book area.

The Right Florist for You and Your Wedding

These ideas might be overwhelming if you don’t already have a talented florist on your wedding day team. Once you find the right florist for you and your style of wedding having a talk about the possibilities will give you lots to think about.

I highly recommend giving your wedding florist space to give you their creative ideas. They’ve designed a lot of florals and know exactly what can and cannot be done. Likely even specific to your chosen venue!
