12 Gorgeous Floral Arrangements for Your Wedding
— By Raashka Mannie

Be it traditional or inventive, flowers are the key to dotting any wedding with a flourish. With more unique floral ideas gaining traction every year, picking a style to suit the theme of your wedding and your personal taste can be a challenge. We have 12 of the best floral arrangements ideas to choose from.

1/ That's a wrap

Flowers and vases come hand in hand, the most orthodox of couples, but don’t limit yourself to believing that’s where they belong. Present your flowers in mason jars, teaports, watering cans, pallet boxes − think outside the box. Maybe even use a pretty box, if you really love the thought. Velvety flowers flourishing from unusual spaces make for eye-catching pieces.

2/ Classic

Elegance at its finest, classic floral arrangements have been around for years and years − and with good reason. Nothing says grace like a bouquet of fresh, white roses. Like a breath of clean air, classic arrangements can speak volumes in their understated style. Opt for a single colour combination, or combine traditional wedding flowers to create a beloved accent for your wedding.

3/ Minimalistic

Some of the most beautiful things in life are the simplest. There’s no need to be elaborate with your flowers if you don’t want to. A rose or two amidst foliage, or even foliage standing tall on its own − these are simple yet effective ways to have organic but striking floral arrangements.

4/ Well-seasoned

Base your floral arrangements off what Mother Nature is telling you. Whether it’s the bright, uninhibited joy of lilies in summer, or the earthy warmth of crocuses in autumn, choosing your flowers according to the season is both fun to do and good for the planet. Whatever your wedding’s theme, it will only be highlighted further by flowers handpicked by nature itself.

5/ Hang on

Flower chandeliers and inverted gardens are two of the most beautiful ways to display your floral choices. Not only are they in full view, but they offer such an unusual view to boot. You can even try suspending potted plants, or draping garlands of flowers instead of using centerpieces. Either way, this is a floral arrangement style that’s a cut above the rest.

6/ Tale as old as time

A dream of many (thanks, Disney), cloched flowers are a pretty little nod to a childhood fairytale. This floral arrangement stays true to its mystical appeal. Feel free to branch out beyond traditional roses with soft tulips or snowdrops − whatever your choice, it will be as romantic and fantastic as Belle once showed us it could.

7/ In fruit

Who said floral arrangements have to be made of flowers and flowers alone? Fruit is an unusual but charming addition. Pomegranates, oranges, grapes and the like can all be added to leafy, full bouquets for an opulent appeal. They might also prove handy if your guests get peckish during the ceremony.

8/ Light it up

Candelabras are already such a stylish addition to any wedding, but making them a part of your floral arrangement increases that tenfold. With their soft, romantic air, they become all the more splendid paired with a crown of flowers (full roses, green foliage and baby’s breath are a few examples) and even a sprinkling of fairy lights.

9/ Stairway to heaven

Banisters are made for decoration. If there are any present at your wedding, glam them up with a winding of vines and smattering of flowers. For a more dramatic look, a bed of peonies and greenery can coat the way. It will give the space a fuller, luxurious feel and make for stunning photo opportunities.

10/ Showers of flowers

If there are no staircases present, or there are and you’ve just delved deep into the marvellous power of flowers (we’re right there with you, trust us), branch out by adding pops of your floral choices to more than just the usual suspects. Archways, chairs and bare walls are all up for a good flowering. Your floral arrangement can be the throne upon which you sit, which nobody can pass up on.

11/ Pots of gold

A cute option for a floral arrangement is the flowerpot. Traditional in the sense of everyday life, but not so much at weddings, this presentation brings with it a sweet, homey feel that can lend your wedding an unmatched cosiness.

12/ Succulents

If you’re wandering away from the usual bed of flowers at weddings, choose a different arrangement: succulents. Endearing in their own way, succulents make for quirky pieces with a lot of character. Not to mention, they’re adorable.
