Title: Wedding Flowers - Decorations With Style!
Author: Elsie Gilbert
Article:
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!
