7 Tips for Incorporating Meaningful Blooms into Your Wedding
Introduction
Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. While a lot of planning and preparation goes into making this a magical moment, you can always count on flowers to make your day special. For a celebration as important as your wedding, blooms can add a crucial component of beauty and charm to the festivities.
Whether it involves creating beautiful floral bouquets, or blooming centerpieces, flowers hold the power to transform your wedding venue into a land of romance. So, if you’re looking for some unique ideas to spruce up your wedding with blooms, here are some creative ways to do so.
Seasonal Freshness
Just like seasonal fruits are great for your body, seasonal flowers can do wonders for your wedding venue. If you’d like your wedding venue to be decorated with a touch of freshness and be reminiscent of flowers of the season, you can choose locally sourced flowers based on your wedding date.
For instance, if you’re getting married in the spring season, you can choose the vibrant hues of tulips to light up your wedding. But for summer, nothing will beat the allure of fresh roses. Dahlias go well with the season of autumn, while amaryllis will be a great choice for the winters.
Of course, working with a local florist will help you choose the right blooms for your nuptials and check how it matches well with the venues that fall in line with your expectations, be it a ranch, a farm, or a barn in downtown SoCal, or the evergreen SoHo.
Floral Patterned Theme
If you love a theme that represents your personality and offers a touch of nature inspired charm, you can choose a floral theme based on your choice of blooms, such as fresh roses or tulips. There are multiple ways you can incorporate flowers into your wedding theme.
You can use floral scented candles, mini succulent plants, and personalized flower seed packets as a gift for your guests. This shows thoughtfulness and symbolizes the blooming of your love.
Decorative Floral Installations
You’re likely to have arches and arbors in your wedding. Why not take it up a notch by installing stunning flowers throughout your wedding venue? You can not only decorate the wedding arch with cascading blooms such as hydrangea and peonies, but install floral chandeliers all over the reception area.
You can also get creative with floral backdrops and make it the center of attention for all your wedding photos. If you have a photo booth in place, you can cover it entirely with flowers and add a touch of whimsy and romance to your special day.
Herbaceous Boutonnieres and Corsages
Flowers make for beautiful boutonnieres and corsages. To give an elevated look to your bridesmaids’ and groomsmen attire, you can choose the flowers that go well with their dresses as well as the theme of your wedding.
For a cohesive look, you can match the boutonnieres and corsages to your wedding bouquet. This will add a sense of personalization to the entire bridal party. If you’re leaning towards something unique, you can pick some non-traditional elements like miniature blooms, herbs, succulents, or even berries.
Farm To Table
For a rustic themed wedding, you can pick flowers based on a farm to table trend. Choose locally sourced flowers for your reception tablescape. You can use them as centerpieces for tablescapes or place them in vases throughout the venue.
Alternatively, if you plan to celebrate your special day nestled in the nature’s embrace, with greenery surrounding you and your loved ones, then make use of the locally sourced flowers, to create a path from the aisle to the tables, redirecting your guests attention to what’s coming after the ceremony is complete.
Blooming Delicacies
There must be some flowers that you associate with your love life or courtship period. To bring back the nostalgia of you and your partner’s courtship, try to incorporate your favorite flowers into your wedding food.
There are many edible floral options that you can use to create signature cocktails, embellishments for your wedding cake, and add them to your desserts. In fact, there are many edible flower recipes that you can create for your wedding day, to give your guests something that’s not only delicious but also visually appealing.
Let Your Love Reach New Heights
To add a magical touch to your nuptials, you can suspend beautiful flowers from the reception area as you and your groom enter the venue. The best part about using sustainable flowers is that you can then re-use these flowers to decorate your aisle.
Another perfect use of flowers falling from a height is that you can use them in your wedding photography to create moments of awe and love. Many romantic poses can also be created using dried rose petals between you and your partner, as long as you are ready to be creative and spontaneous.
Conclusion
There are multiple creative ways to accentuate flowers into your wedding. While many of these methods are doable, you can always look for other unique ways to add a touch of seasonal freshness while maintaining the personal style of your wedding using flowers.
