2. Incorporate Florals into Your Hair
Elevate your wedding day look by incorporating florals into your hairstyle. Whether you’re rocking an updo, leaving your hair down, or a little mix of both—this unique idea is sure to take your look up a notch. It’ll complement your chosen bouquet while also tying together your decor and fashion.
Work with your hairstylist to create a strikingly unique look with a single statement bloom or a subtle scattering of tiny flowers. You can weave them into a simple braid or create a flower crown to top off your loose curly look. Whatever your choose, the addition of flowers will create an unforgettable look.
3. Trade Centerpieces for Hanging Flower Chandeliers
If you’re really looking to wow your guests, trade ordinary centerpieces for hanging flower chandeliers that’ll add a whimsical and elegant touch to your reception space. Picture your guests seated beneath a mesmerizing canopy of blooms—doesn’t get much better, does it?
You can work with your florist to create arrangements complete with fresh flowers, lush greenery, or even dried blooms that will dangle above your reception tables. This innovative twist frees up table space and takes your centerpieces to new heights, literally.
