Interesting Wedding Flower Ideas
Flower arches and red rose bouquets are the same old, same old. Here are some interesting and talk-worthy wedding flower ideas that will keep your guests in awe.
Arches
Arches are the most visible wedding flower ideas area in the whole event. You want it to stand out and look beautiful, so don't just rent a premade arch, try an idea that's different. If you are having a waterside wedding or one with a tropical theme, use potted palm trees where the arch would be.
If you are having a garden themed wedding, use twisted vines around a preformed wrought iron garden arch. For a couple that loves to fish, make an arch out of fishing poles tied together with ribbon (and make sure to leave out the hooks!) An arch made out of building blocks in the wedding colors would be a sure conversation starter.
Off-Beat Bouquets
Taking your wedding flower ideas to the next level means thinking outside of the box. Instead of having red or white roses, how about green cabbage roses? Why not scrap the roses all together and have a bouquet made out of crystal flowers?
If the groom has a lot of groomsmen, have each one stand along the aisle with a single flower of your choice. As you walk past collect the flowers from them. Make sure your maid-of-honor is holding a ribbon to tie them all together to make an original bouquet.
Different Details
They say it's all in the details. Here are a few wedding flower ideas that are sure to make your guest "ooh" and "ahh".
If you love bling, why not add shimmer to your bouquet? Take floral picks and hot glue pea sized crystal beads to the end. Tuck each pick into the bouquet so that just the crystal pokes above the flowers. Instant bling!
Instead of decorating the church pulpit with expensive flower arrangements, use one, single, huge flower in a lovely, tall vase with a large ribbon bow.
To color silk flower girl petals to match the wedding colors simply mix food coloring in a spray bottle, lay the petal out on newspaper, and spray the petals with the food color solution. Let them dry and spray again until you get the desired hue. You can also add fine glitter to the solution for a little sparkle.
