Creating a romantic and comfortable setting for your guests is
as important as your vows. Most of your guests are people that
you love and admire, so you want to show gratitude for their
presence with a lovely time.
Flowers that can go anywhere
In the first stages of planning a wedding, you may be concerned
about where you need flowers. And this is a good question to
ask.
So let’s start with the itinerary for most wedding days and you
can determine what applies to you. Most of the wedding days
start with the bride and bridesmaids going off to the salon for
beauty time while the groom and his groomsmen enjoy a more lax
day.
At this point, the flowers should be arriving to decorate the
chapel or the church where you two will be married. Flowers can
be placed on the pews or alongside the seats, in vases at the
altar, and at the entryway. These will need to be larger
arrangements as determined by the size of the church. If you
have too small of flowers, no one will be able to see them.
During the ceremony, you will need bouquets for each of the
bridesmaids, as well as the bride. Small corsages are nice for
the mothers of the couple, as well as grandmothers. Next in
line are the boutonni?res for the groom and his groomsmen, as
well as fathers and grandfathers.
The reception hall can be lined with flowers as well—on tables
and around buffet areas or appetizer arrangements.
Decorating in nature
Most wedding use flowers as the mainstay of their decoration
plan, but what if you are looking to be outside for your vows?
Are flowers necessary then?
In many cases, a beautiful setting has no need for extraneous
flowers or ornamentation. Of course, the wedding party will
still need something to carry, but it’s really much simpler
this way.
In terms of other decorations that are well-liked, candles are
the next most popular things at receptions and wedding
ceremonies. Pick a color that complements the other used
colors, and then light multiple candles (safely please). The
overall effect is breathtaking.
When decorating your wedding and you reception, you can use
anything that suits you. Flowers and candles seem to be the
most popular, but don’t feel that you need to have them. Some
receptions are now incorporating rock gardens and small water
fountains into the design.
So however you want to decorate is up to you.
