Trends in wedding flower arrangements have not just changed with recent years, but with the centuries. For instance, ladies used the nosegay at one time to ward off unpleasant smells-it is now commonly used as a wedding flower arrangement. The boutonniere worn by the groom and his best man must have served a similar purpose. Some of the latest trends in wedding flower arrangements include the following:
- Filling urns with bunches of seasonal flowers and placing these at the entrance to the wedding venue, whether a church, synagogue, or garden. These urns can later be moved to the reception venue.
- Using a combination of flowers and candles to emphasize the differences in levels in the wedding venue. For example, a wedding will take place in a garden, and the altar will be placed under a pergola, at the top of a wide flight of steps. You can bring out the difference in levels between the altar and the ground by placing flower arrangements consisting of candles, flowers, and foliage, on each step from the altar to the ground level. Such an arrangement is also possible in a church or synagogue.
- Attaching flower petals to pieces of ribbon to create decorations. You can use these decorations for the church doors or pews.
- Creating buffet table decorations at the reception using the bridesmaids’ bouquets. You can also use the bouquets to surround the wedding cake. This is an interesting way to reuse flowers in wedding and reception arrangements.
- Using flowers, foliage, and votive candles to decorate the center of the head table. This is where the bride, the groom, and their families will sit. This wedding flower arrangement will draw the eyes of guests to this particular table, for the various speeches and toasts.
- Using four or five separate clusters of flowers to create guest table centerpieces. The couples at these tables can take a bunch of flowers home as a memento of your wedding.
- Creating centerpieces by floating large, fragrant flowers in crystal bowls along with votive candles. This would be an excellent idea for a reception held outdoors and at night.
- Decorating the stems of goblets and cake knives with flowers. This will add a very elegant touch to your wedding.
- Using rose petals to decorate walkways and the cake table, and tossing rose petals instead of rice at the bride and groom.
- Creating a centerpiece by placing a mound of roses on a cake plate. This will create a very romantic effect.
- Placing colorful rocks in a glass bowl, topping it with a dome of roses, and surrounding this wedding flower arrangement with a wreath.
- Putting the throwaway bouquet on top of a cake.
