We have gathered some examples of designs that will bring beauty and elegance to your wedding!

Wedding Ceremony Decor Ideas

1. Flower Arch

Imagine walking down the aisle and standing under a gorgeous flower arch.

It becomes the perfect focal point framing the couple as they exchange their vows and creating breathtaking wedding photos.

Whether you choose a delicate arrangement of real flowers or opt for an artificial display, the flower arch will add a touch of elegance and romance to your ceremony.

2. Decorate Chairs

Enhance the charm of your ceremony by decorating chairs with pretty floral arrangements.

This not only makes the overall look of your ceremony more beautiful but also adds a personal touch for you and your guests as they sit down.

The sweet-smelling flowers will fill the air with a delightful fragrance, making your wedding ceremony even more memorable.
 

 

3. Petals

Sprinkle colourful petals along the aisle for a romantic touch. This simple yet impactful addition to your ceremony decor adds a touch of natural beauty.

The vibrant petals can be chosen to match your wedding colour palette or used in a variety of hues to create a gradient effect.

4. Floral Arrangements

Strategically place stunning floral arrangements to make the ceremony space even more beautiful.

From impressive flower pillars at the altar to smaller flowerpots along the aisle, well-placed floral arrangements can turn your wedding ceremony into a breathtaking floral wonderland.

Floral Centrepieces Ideas

1. Floral Garlands

Decorate tables with stunning floral garlands for a lush and elegant centrepiece.

A floral garland gracefully draping across the length of the table adds a touch of romance and opulence to the dining experience.

The garlands can be accented with pinecones, fairy lights, or other decorative elements to create a magical ambiance for your guests.

2. Seasonal Centrepieces 

Embrace the beauty of each season by incorporating seasonal flowers into your centrepieces.

By selecting blooms that are in season you ensure their freshness and vibrant colours, while also adding a touch of natural authenticity to your wedding.

For example, spring may bring blossoming cherry blossoms and tulips while summer offers vibrant sunflowers and dahlias.

These seasonal centrepieces not only enhance the overall theme of your wedding but also evoke the spirit of the time of year you have chosen to tie the knot.
 

 

3. Tall Floral Displays

Make a statement with impressive tall floral centrepieces. These arrangements bring a touch of sophistication to your reception.

By using tall vases or stands, you can create stunning displays that not only add beauty to the table but also allow guests to comfortably interact and converse with each other.

This is a popular floral decor choice here at Villiers, and it happens to be one of our favorites too!

4. Festive Centrepieces

If you're having a wedding in late November or December, adding festive touches to your floral centrepieces is a wonderful idea.

Include elements like berries, pinecones or twinkling lights to your floral centrepiece to infuse a festive spirit. Consider using rich reds and greens for a traditional look.

5. Dried Flower Arrangements

Nowadays, many couples choose dried flower centrepieces for their weddings. It's a more environmentally friendly option and adds a rustic touch to the overall vibe.

Dried flower arrangements can be kept as special keepsake allowing you to cherish the memories long after the wedding day has passed.

6. Succulent Displays

Incorporate succulents into your centrepieces for a trendy and modern twist. Succulents come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colours, making them versatile additions to your floral arrangements.

Their unique shapes and shades of green create a contemporary and eye-catching display, perfect for couples looking to infuse a touch of modernity into their wedding decor.

7. Wildflower Centrepieces 

Embrace the natural beauty of wildflowers. With their vibrant colours and delicate blooms, wildflower centrepieces capture the essence of a blooming meadow.

Incorporate flowers like daisies, lavender, or poppies into your arrangements to achieve a rustic and romantic aesthetic. 
 

 

Flower Wall Ideas

1. Create a Photo Moment

Set up a flower wall as a dedicated photo booth area where guests can capture memorable moments. 

The wall provides a beautiful backdrop for photos, ensuring that every snapshot is filled with natural beauty and charm. It's a perfect spot for guests to strike a pose and create lasting memories.

2. Add a Personal Touch with Couples Initials 

Customise your flower wall by incorporating the initials of you and your partner. This personal touch adds a unique and sentimental element to the decor.

The combination of beautiful flowers and your initials will create a visually captivating focal point that reflects your love.

3. Try an Ombre Wall

Explore the artistic possibilities by creating an ombre flower wall. Gradually transition the colours of the flowers from light to dark or from one shade to another.

This creates a captivating visual effect that adds depth and dimension to the wall, making it an exquisite and eye-catching feature of your wedding decor.

4. Floral Backdrop for Cake

Enhance the presentation of your wedding cake by placing it against a flower wall backdrop. 

The combination of the delectable cake and the vibrant blooms will create a stunning focal point at your reception.

5. Seasonal Floral Wall

Embrace the beauty of each season by designing a flower wall that showcases seasonal blooms.

Whether it's the vibrant colours of spring, the lush greenery of summer, the warm tones of autumn, or the crisp whites of winter, incorporating seasonal flowers into your wall brings a sense of natural charm and freshness to your wedding decor.
 

 

6. Floral Arrangement in a Frame

Create a unique and artistic display by arranging flowers within a frame to form a stunning wall decor piece.

This creative approach adds a touch of elegance and originality to your floral wall. 

Wedding Bouquet Ideas

1. Personal Bouquet 

Select all the flowers you love and ask your florist to create a unique bouquet that showcases your personal preferences.

This bespoke arrangement will be tailored specifically to your liking, ensuring that it perfectly captures your individual style and brings joy on your special day.

2. Seasonal Bouquet 

Embrace the beauty of the season by choosing a bouquet featuring flowers that are in bloom during your wedding time.

How to Get Your Dream Wedding Flowers on a Budget

If you're looking to stay within a budget for your wedding flowers there are several strategies you can consider.

• Swap out expensive options for more affordable blooms or mix and match your favourite flowers with more budget-friendly choices. 
   
• Save costs by sourcing flowers locally and seasonally as this helps avoid expensive shipping fees.
   
• Avoid big flower weekends like Mother's Day and Valentine's Day when wholesale flower costs tend to skyrocket.
   
• Repurpose flowers from one part of the event such as the ceremony to another, like the reception.
