Wedding planning and preparation require time, effort, and money. Everything from the finalization of the guest list to the catering and from the choice of attire to the venue requires attention to detail. Many big and small decisions will also revolve around your wedding decor, and flowers may constitute a significant part of it.
Historically, flowers have played an important role in weddings, and this role is not just limited to the decor. From the bridal bouquet, corsages, boutonnieres, and hair accessories to the cake decorations, flowers encompass all. These, however, are the conventional uses of flowers. Here are some unusual ways to incorporate flowers in weddings:
- In the decor as chandeliers: Imagine the dreamy view and the reactions when guests look up from the reception tables and there are enchanting floral chandeliers above in all their flowery glory. The chandeliers will lend an ethereal vibe to the wedding. The first dance will seem like something straight out of a dream if it’s under a breathtaking chandelier of flowers. Adding more value to this chandelier is possible by incorporating flowers that hold special meaning to the couple. Flower chandeliers look especially amazing at rustic venues with barns or farms when incorporated as part of a rustic-meets-elegant country wedding theme.
- In the beverages as ice cubes: Now that’s something that will definitely catch every one’s fancy. The floral-infused ice cubes are likely to add a touch of originality to the celebrations, and an intriguing touch to the beverages. Select flowers that complement the color palette and theme of the wedding. Just make sure to use edible flowers to ensure the safety and enjoyment of guests. A variety of flower sizes will add interest and enhance the visual appeal of the beverages. There’s immense scope of creativity in the positioning of the flowers in the ice cubes.
- As unique patterned aisle runners: The walk down the aisle is a walk to remember anyway, but it can become more memorable when it is laid out with a unique pattern of flowers. The aisle will become a focal point. The aisle could bear a floral monogram design. Or, the couple can commission a custom illustration of their journey etched out with flowers. If that’s too elaborate, a simple ombre effect with flowers can also grab attention and hold interest.
- As the beautiful backdrop of a photo booth setup: Provide the photographers with aesthetic floral backdrops for the wedding and watch them create magic. The combination of flowers and a photo booth offers infinite possibilities. Oversized initials of the couple covered in flowers form a suitable backdrop for wedding photos. Flower-covered frames for the guests to use in their pictures may also be the source of a lot of fun and memorable moments. Delight the guests with various types of floral photo booth props.
- As flower-adorned seating arrangements: Improve the wedding experience of guests with charming flower-adorned seating arrangements. Each guest will feel so special in a comfortable seat that’s been beautified with flowers. Adding flowers to seating can be done in various ways, such as chair garlands, small tied bouquets, floral chair sashes, flowing chair swags, flower-adorned signs, and chair wreaths.
Wrapping Up
With these innovative ideas, a couple can add a distinct, customized, and memorable touch to their wedding. With some creativity, a couple can go beyond the usual visual aesthetical use of flowers and provide a sensory-rich experience to their guests. Flowers comprise that element which has the potential of bringing life to the decor. They have a language of their own. The versatility of flowers makes them perfect for adding beauty and personalization to all aspects of the wedding celebrations.
