Living backdrops, petal carpets, indoor trees, oh my! With all of the flora and fauna in the world, it can be difficult to choose which arrangements are best suited to be front and center at your wedding.
Many couples have taken a modern approach and have found new and exciting ways to incorporate flowers into their decor - aside from the customary bouquet, corsage and centerpieces. These are few that take the cake - literally.
Cake
Flashback to the 80's for a moment and remind yourself that most cake decorations now are better than a trio of multi-tiered cakes connected by a plastic bridge. Opt-out of the miniature bridal party statues on your cake and instead tie all of your décors together with beautiful floral elements. Replace the expensive hand piped 7 tiers of cream frosting simply by taking a few flowers from your centerpieces.
Living Backdrop
A great addition to the head table or used as a backdrop for guests to take photos, living walls are a phenomenal - and trendy, way to bring life into your wedding venue. Occasionally these walls and backdrops are made of green elements but, usually they are a collection of beautiful flowers.
Chandelier
Bring a wow factor to your wedding this dramatic effect. Hanging floral from ceilings and chandeliers are eye-catching installations that your guests will adorn. Mixed with natural light or candle lit dinners, this elegant arrangement will bring your wedding décor to the next level.
Petal Carpet
A flower girl walking down the aisle, sprinkling an assortment of colored petals for the blushing bride to walk on is the scene in many famous romantic films. As the wedding march plays faintly in the background, this time-honored and very adorable tradition of walking on roses to meet your betrothed at the altar is seldom overlooked.
Indoor Trees
Many dream of an outdoor wedding but when you’re getting married in Canada, the weather can be fickle. Bringing the outdoors in with potted trees and plants lining your dance floor, entrance or even as a centerpiece will bring an organic and airy vibe to your reception.
Wreaths
Wreaths are a symbol of eternity. With no beginning and no end, its circular shape represents many things to many different cultures. This beautiful arrangement of evergreens are most familiar during the winter months and as the holiday season quickly approaches, wreaths adorned with a cascade of twinkling lights would make a great display at your celebration.
There are many arrangements that you can incorporate into your wedding ceremony and reception décor. This is your chance to get creative, and no matter which flora or fauna you choose, it is sure to bring an organic and natural feel to your celebration.
