No wedding is complete without decoration. We go a little further than this with, no wedding is complete without floral wedding decor! But where do you start? There's budd vases, flower walls, arches, centrepieces, table runners... the list goes on. But it doen't have to be overwhelming. Take a look through our list below and let us know what you think!
It can be expensive to have an arrangement for each guest table though. As a way to cut costs but keep your decor thematic and beautiful you could splash out for a few beautiful arrangements for the bridal party table (or tables) and then opt for small bud vases the same sort of flowers in them for the guest tables.
1. Centrepiece
Perfect for a formal wedding, beautiful floral centrepieces are a great way to make your reception decor shine. Couples generally choose flowers that tie in with the bridal parties' flowers to add to the flow of their decor theme.
2. Budd Vases
Often chosen for rustic weddings, budd vases are a simple and effective way to decorate your venue.
If you're embracing the rustic or boho vibe, go with assorted mason jars. For a sweet romantic feel, a single vase with a beautiful budd or two can be a great choice.
These are beautiful for any wedding theme, but you may have trouble DIY-ing it! If you've got your heart set on a flower chandelier but can't quite stretch the budget what about some hanging bouquets?
3. Hanging Roof Installation
Elaborate and stunning, a roof installation or flower chandelier is a great way to set off your reception decor.
A flower chandelier can work as a leading feature over the bridal table or to tie into the aesthetic of your entire wedding celebration.
4. Flower Arches
Is a piece on wedding decor complete without the flower arch? Possibly, but we at Forever Yours, Flowers love talking about Flower Arches. These are great for both the ceremony and reception. They cost a pretty penny, so why not take it to the reception venue after the ceremony?
Not keen on transporting your arch? Fun fact, a good florist can make an arch that transforms into a table runner (see below!)
PSSST! Worried about cost? Talk to us about hiring your beautiful wedding decor!
5. TABLE RUNNERS
Another choice to tie your wedding theme into a comprehensive beautiful! Table runners make a great feature for any wedding theme. A table runner (like any wedding decor really) doesn't have to be all flowers. A greenery runner or a runner made with mostly greenery can be just as stunning as wall to wall roses. As with centrepieces they can be a bit pricey so you might want to use them sparingly. But if you want that wow factor, the runner is definitely giving the other decor a run for their money (see what I did there?!).
6. Flower walls
Of course no blog about floral wedding decor would be complete without the flower wall! Flower walls come in all sorts of variations and make a stunning backdrop for any event.
If you're not too keen on the traditional wall thick with roses, take a look around. A good florist can work with whatever you need. Hanging strings of flowers or a wall of greenery can be just as beautiful.
Some of the above options can be pretty pricey, but that is where we can help you. Artificial flowers are a great alternative to fresh and can be hired out! Let us know if there's something we can do to help you on your way to your dream wedding and more specifically your floral wedding decor.
However you choose to decorate, we're sure it will be absolutely beautiful. Happy Wedding Planning!
