Wedding
Flowers – Decorations With Style!
by: Elsie Gilbert
When we think
of wedding flowers we often think of the bride’s bouquet, but
flowers can be wonderful accessories in almost any surroundings.
Using wedding flowers as decorations is popular, particularly
for a summer wedding. Wedding flowers also provide a wonderful
fresh scent that will last throughout the day.
Wedding
Flowers and The Ceremony
The main role
for wedding flowers, during the ceremony, is as part of the
bridal party bouquets. However, look a little further and you
will see a whole host of opportunities for you wedding flowers.
Why not use a
bow of material with one pretty flower in the center, on the
back of every chair. Simple yet effective. Wedding flowers can
also be used as part of the ceremony venue decorations. It may
be possible, for example, to line the aisle with flowers or to
ask a bridesmaid to scatter petals on the path, in front of the
bride.
Wedding
Flowers and the Reception
Wedding
flowers are not traditionally part of the reception decorations.
But, there is no reason why flowers cannot be a fundamental part
of your decorative design. Flowers can be used as center pieces
on the tables, they can even be used as a fun way of telling
people at which table they should be sitting. For example, you
could have a rose table, a lily table and a violet table.
Instead of
favors, it could be a great idea to use wedding flowers such as
a single rose as gift for every woman. Wedding flowers can also
be used to decorate the venue itself, for example, as part of
the room decorations - a fresh and vibrant alternative to
balloons!
Wedding
Flowers as Gifts
It is
traditional to give gifts to those who have helped with the
wedding arrangements, such as the mother of the bride,
bridesmaids and mother of the groom. Why not combine any other
gift you have chosen with some wedding flowers. As you will be
ordering in bulk, the cost of a few bouquets will be much less
than you originally thought, so ask your florist what they can
do for you.
Wedding
flowers are often thrown away at the end of the day; try to
think ahead as to what you can do with all the displays that you
have purchased, after the event. As most couples head straight
off on honeymoon, they are unlikely to be able to make the most
of the wedding flowers, so have some friends in mind that may
appreciate the displays.
If you want
to preserve your wedding flowers, why not get them dried or
pressed flowers? Alternatively, you could consider planting the
flowers or even having more long-living specimens such as
decorative cacti.
When it comes
to wedding flowers, there truly is no limit to your imagination!
