There are many floral arrangements that need to be considered for a wedding. Here are some tips as to where flowers are needed throughout the ceremony and the reception.

Bridal Party

  • Bridal bouquet
  • Bride’s hair
  • Mothers’/grandmothers’ corsages
  • Bridesmaids’ bouquets
  • Bridesmaids’ hair
  • Flower girl’s hair & bouquet/basket
  • Groom, groomsmen’s, pageboy’s, fathers’/grandfathers’ buttonholes

Ceremony flowers

If you are holding your wedding at a church;

  • place flowers at the entrance, altar and main aisle
  • decorate pew ends with flowers or other decor
  • if your budget allows it: decorate the church doors, window sills and the ‘signing the register’ table

If you are holding your wedding on location;

  • create an ‘aisle’ by sprinkling rose petals between two columns of chairs
  • flowers placed in trimmed trees/in other greenery

Reception Flowers

At the reception, flowers can be used on the back of chairs, as table arrangements or as decoration on candelabras.

Flowers for table arrangements;

  • should be high enough or low enough that the guests can see each other and comfortably carry on a conversation
  • bridal table generally has long, low floral arrangements

Flowers for chairs and candelabras;

  • candelabras draped with flowers create an elegant look
  • back of chairs can be decorated with flowers

Flowers, flowers and more flowers!
