Elevate the look of your wedding ceremony by softening the look of the wooden chairs by adding greenery to the sides of the chairs. Or embellish the chairs with sheer fabrics, ribbon, and favorite flowers. Are you overwhelmed with the number of chairs you have? Only decorate the last row of chairs to make an elegant first impression when your guests arrive. Quick and easy DIY flower ideas!
Don’t Forget the stylish Exit Toss!

Use natural eco-friendly freeze-dried flower petals with recycling paper cones. Fill the cones up with your favorite color rose petals to ensure a memorable photo-worthy exit! Flower girls and ring bearers bring an overload of cuteness to any wedding. Fill the flowers baskets with petals to make a light path down the aisle.
Dress Up Sparse Areas

Garlands are the best for dressing up sparse areas. Add flowers for a dash of color! Use handmade premade garlands to outline doorways, decorate the bar, table runners, or draped over an arbor. Do you want to create a backdrop of your dreams? Construct your arbor, purchase bunches or bulk of fresh greenery with floral wire, and create your flower swag.
Personalize Wedding Signs

If your event is outdoors with lots of property, signs can help point the guest in the right direction. DIY your signs with wood, frames, use paint and stencils to design them, and decorate them with greenery and your favorite blooms.
Visualize Your Tables & Plate Settings

There are many ways to personalize your tables. Mix and match your glassware with tinted tones adding a splash of color. Garnish the plate with a sprig of eucalyptus or dried lavender. Cluster your favorite glass vases or bottles in the center of the table, adding fresh flowers for a chic style! Looking for an effortless style? Opt for texture, mixed greenery, and prickly wildflowers. Add candles, place cards, or your favorite odds and ends that reflect your style.
