Flowers from the aisle or altar can frame your top table or sit as focal points on your dessert station or guestbook area. For centrepieces, think variety by combining different heights, textures, and colours. Tall arrangements offer drama, while low ones encourage conversation. Or go for a relaxed look with wild floral runners, potted herbs, or clusters of mini arrangements in mismatched glassware. Avoid placing anything too high or wide in the centre that could block guests’ views across the table. HANGING FLORAL INSTALLATIONS For that jaw-dropping wow factor, look up. Suspended floral chandeliers or garlands strung across ceilings and tent canopies create a dreamy, garden-like ambience from above that immediately transports guests into an enchanted space. Combine these installations with fairylights or lanterns for added sparkle and warmth. These statement pieces not only elevate the visual aesthetic but also create magical photo moments your guests will remember for years to come. FLORAL TIPS & TRICKS • Opt for seasonal blooms that will not only ensure the freshest blooms for the big day but will save you money. • Always add texture with greenery or dried elements for depth. • Repurpose ceremony flowers throughout the day. • Add heirloom charms or meaningful flowers to your bouquet. • Choose a florist who understands your vision and specialises in your chosen style. Listen to the experts as they’ve seen it all! • Match your colour scheme to ensure a cohesive look. WEARING THE ROMANCE Beyond bouquets, florals can elevate your bridal look in delicate, wearable ways. Think flower crowns for a bohemian vibe, vines woven into updos, or subtle floral pins and clips for a romantic finish. For a vintage-inspired twist, floral corsages for bridesmaids or the mother-of-the-bride add meaning and beauty. Including mothers and grandmothers with floral wristlets or pins is a lovely way to honour them. unsplash.com/@paupattersonphotography_ FLORAL DETAILS Carry your floral theme through every detail for a truly immersive experience.
