What flowers do you typically need for a wedding?
Wedding flowers usually fall into 4 main categories:
l Personals - the flowers you carry or wear
l Ceremony - décor for the space where the ceremony takes place
l Reception - where the dinner and dancing happens
l Atmosphere - florals to create impact or carry through the motif
PERSONALS
These include bouquets and boutonnieres for the wedding party, corsages and boutonnieres for special family members or your officiant, floral crowns for flower girls (or grandmas!), floral collars for the ring dogs, and other special pieces that will be worn.
CEREMONY FLORALS
Decorating the ceremony area ensures the photos of your wedding ceremony are truly a delight for years to come. Floral arches or large pieces to create a vignette can frame a spectacular view or hide something in the background. Either way, they add to the visual of the two of you as you join your lives together.
Other elements to think about for your ceremony include aisle arrangements, accents for the chairs on the aisle, petal aisle borders, large arrangements to mark the entrance to the aisle, petals for scattering, accent florals for a drink station, signage décor, and an arrangement on your guestbook table.
RECEPTION FLORALS
Before everyone sits down for dinner, couples usually host a cocktail hour to entertain guests while they are off taking photos, and here is where you can add small arrangements to the cocktail tables, decorate the bar, adorn the trays for passed appetisers, and décor for the seating card table or sign.
Inside the reception space you'll want to place centrepieces on each guest table, either tall or low enough not to interfere with conversation across the table, and appropriate to the height of the ceiling of the room. Low centrepieces in a very tall room looks paltry, and tall centrepieces in a room with a low ceiling looks overcrowded. For most spaces, a mix of tall and low centrepieces creates luxurious look, offering visual interest around the room.
For your sweetheart table, consider a floral runner to showcase the bridal bouquet, or a floral backdrop wall to create a picture perfect spot for the happy couple. For a head table, the bridesmaids' bouquets can be placed down a garland of flowers and greenery, or an overhead installation along the length of the table is a dramatic focal point.
Other points to decorate with flowers include the cake, the bar, the buffet or serving stations, around the base of the DJ booth or stage for the band, and often these can be repurposed arrangements from the ceremony.
ATMOSPHERE FLORALS
These florals that go the extra mile to create an unforgettable ambience for your guests. You might consider accenting an architectural feature such as a staircase or creating a floral ceiling above the dance floor, a floral chandelier or decorating existing chandeliers, adding flowers to the happy couple's chairs, or floral arrangements in the restrooms - a touch that invokes a sense of luxury no matter what your budget may be!
