No wedding is complete without flowers for decoration. And these elements, as well as covering the venue with beautiful colour and smells, also brings a romantic and delicate touch. And the best part is that there are endless ideas for decorating your wedding with flowers!
If you are a flower lover, you will love reading this article, because, surely for you, bouquets and basic centrepieces are not enough, so we have created a list of 25 very original ways to include them.
Having plants and flowers at a wedding is no longer a struggle!
1. Around the fairy lights
Make a garland of flowers, and weave it through fairy lights, whether that be on tree trunks, between the table candles or between the candelabras. Mixing lights and flowers is quite an original idea!
2. The corsage of the groom
The corsage is the floral adornment that the groom wears attached to his left lape of his suit jacket. This flower or group of flowers, also called a broach, helps to distinguish the groom from the rest of the guests, and generally corresponds to the bride’s bouquet, so the corsage is a perfect way to include flowers for the groom.
3. The corsage of the fathers
Just like the groom, the parents also attach this to their suit jacket, in a different style to the groom, but in harmony with the theme of the wedding and venue. So, if you love flowers… don’t leave the father of the bride or the father of the groom without their corsage of natural flowers.
4. In the hair of the bridesmaids
Your bridesmaids can use flowers in their looks for a unique and personalised style at your wedding, either loose flowers, a flower crown or a broach, your bridesmaids’ hair has to have this adornment to match with your bouquet. We love it!
5. In the bride’s dressing room
The getting ready time for the bride is very special, and the room where she will do it should also be special, because hundreds of photos will be taken here for the most special memory to remind the bride of the moments before the wedding, so the photos have to be perfect with a mountain of floral décor for the dressing room.
6. During the groom’s preparations
The getting ready time for the groom is also special, we can’t forget him, and just like the bride, the groom will take photos with his friends, mother etc. So, don’t hesitate to include some simple bouquets of flowers that decorate the dressing room in a subtle way.
7. On the tables
The table centres can’t be forgotten at any wedding, whether they be simple, small, or large structures, with simple flowers or huge bouquets, the table flowers will give a decorative, fresh and romantic touch to your banquet.
8. On the dishes
The silverware is a key decoration element for the tables, so this is why if you love flowers, you can also include them on the dishes, specifically on the appetisers. A little simple floral touch that is also very charming. How about a lilac, a carnation or a daisy?
9. In the cocktail area
An area where the guests spend a lot of time also has to have all the necessary details to make it memorable and a way to include flowers in the cocktail area is by decorating the bar tables or the wine barrels that are used as tables for the aperitifs.
10. Around the altar
The altar is the most obvious thing that you are going to have at the ceremony, and what better way to make it stand out than with a large number of fresh flowers. Whether that be in a romantic, bohemian or modern style, there are infinite ways of bringing a subtle or not so subtle touch of flowers to the altar at the ceremony.
11. In the bride’s hairstyle
It has been demonstrated that incorporating flowers into the bride’s hairstyle improves her look and the appearance of naturality and freshness. You can weave them into a boho braid or add them as a final touch to the hairstyle.
12. On top of signature drinks
If you are planning to serve signature cocktails at cocktail hour, a very original way to include flowers is on the cocktails, as long as they are edible! A unique detail that will complete the wedding decoration and will make your guests ask for another round!
13. On the cake layers
No wedding is complete without a cake, and now this must have flowers. Who said that you couldn’t eat flowers? Well say no more! Create a combination and ensure that your guests don’t stop photographing the cake, and they will keep asking for another slice. Mmmm… delicious!
14. Confetti of flowers
Prepare flower petals in mini envelopes so that your guests can throw them instead of rice at the ceremony. Who wouldn’t want to be bathed in rose petals? Instead of traditionally throwing rice, opt for this more eco and romantic option.
15. Necklaces and bracelets
Brides, bridesmaids and female guests have decided to start wearing flowers around their neck and arms. Yes, now flowers can also be included in necklace or bracelet form, creating, in an elegant way, a perfect compliment for the most delicate and passionate weddings.
16. On the furniture
There is always an opportunity to add colour, texture and natural elements to all the furniture! Why not? Flower lovers know what we’re talking about… You can’t leave the welcome area, the seating plan, the bride and groom’s chairs, or even overflowing any draws with flowers.
17. On the wedding table
It is clear that the bride and groom are the centre of attention on the day of the wedding, but a fun way to draw attention (even more) is by using flowers to show which table is reserved for the couple. Cover it in fresh flowers!
18. The dog’s collar
What? On the dog? Of course! There are more and more couples that have their pets as a main feature of their wedding day, for example, carrying the rings. Don’t hesitate to use flowers to decorate your best friend with a pretty collar.
19. A bird cage
Bird cages are one of the most fashionable elements of more vintage and rustic weddings, and the best way to create this cosy and romantic ambience is to fill it with flowers, allowing it to open, or by creating small displays that fit perfectly inside.
20. A flower-covered swinging char
Have a swinging chair with flowers in your wedding photos and you will have a long queue of guests that want to take photos of it. This swing can be made with rope and simple wood, with garlands of flowers wrapped around and attached to the swing. How original!
21. On the initials of the bride and groom
Surely you have seen many weddings with big, illuminated letters, these are the initial of the names of the couple, which are an original and pretty touch. Well, now the initials of the bride and groom go from being made with lightbulbs to flowers. Create you and your partner’s initials in floral arrangements of decorative flowers!
22. On the seating plan
When your guests look for their seats… there is nothing better than having their names covered in flowers! Whether that be a walking trolley of flowers, inside bottles, in vases, inside overflowing drawers or hung as a clothesline. Every option is great!
23. Cover a whole wall
Just like vines cover walls, why not do the same with flowers? Look for a small wall at your wedding venue, collect your favourite flowers and cover the entire wall. A wall covered in flowers can be used to take a load of beautiful photos.
24. On the headpiece of the bride
Like a crown, headband, a tiara, or brooch… the options of including a floral headpiece are endless. And the best part is that they are usually handmade. Would you like to make it yourself?
25. In the party room
The room where the DJ takes control of the decks is filled with neon, lights, effects, moving lighting and now, even the flowers. Seeing the wedding venue full of these elements will be a popular trend. Who wouldn’t want to dance around towers of flowers?
