7CORSAGE YOU CAN Corsages offer a great bouquet alternative for your bridesmaids, bringing a little something different. They’re also a great way to make mum feel more involved in the bridal party, with a design to complement your bouquet. 8MAKE A STATEMENT Petra says, “If you’re planning an openair wedding it’s a great idea to have a large focal statement piece that’s sure to stand out. As the areas are large and mainly outdoors, the flowers tend to compete with nature, so bold colours work best. Think flower arches, decorated trees and interior poles for example.” 10 BE SEATED Add some floral fascination to your place names. Let your theme guide you to a choice of rose head or sprig of foliage, lavender, pampas grass or even succulent wedding favours – all offer a gorgeous finishing touch making your guests feel extra special. www.gemmamount.com 6NEAT PETITE Alternatively for long tables, using small vases or jars filled with flowers is a super-cute way to go. Pack each vase with an array of different blooms or create a repeat pattern of vessels each containing a posy of one feature flower. 9HANG ABOUT! If you don’t have room for table centres or need to fill a vast overhead space consider a hanging floral installation. Totally on trend and a fabulous focal point.
