Floralinstallations at weddings have risen to a whole new level in recent years (punintended!), with hanging and elevated designs becoming increasinglypopular. And when my couples are looking for distinctive floral installationsto create an unforgettable visual design at their wedding – I usually pointthem towards hanging or elevated ideas.
Hangingand elevated floral installations make a visual impact you can’t reallyreplicate with other arrangements. They create space on tables – somethingfoodies (like me) appreciate, as it leaves room for more than just a feast forthe senses. They become focal points. And they give greater scope forflexibility…you can have one incredible main installation on the top table, andthen less elsewhere.
So,now that I’ve convinced you a hanging or elevated floral wedding installationis the way to go (and let’s face it, you didn’t need much convincing), here arefive design ideas to give you inspiration…
Dried Flower Cloud
I’ma firm believer in breaking out of the box and dried flower installations atyour wedding certainly stand out from the norm. Suspend them above tables andyour visuals go from interesting to absolutely amazing!
Thistextural, hanging dried flower cloud in muted soft tones adds substance andartistic drama to your décor. Beauty doesn’t always come in new and shinypackages. Dried florals create a warm yet a little bit edgy atmosphere.
Elevated Foliage
Whosaid hanging or elevated wedding floral installations have to include flowers?Throw out what you think you should do. Do what you want to do. A feature madeentirely of foliage, elevated on gold stands, adds bucket loads of personalityto your wedding. It’s also a great idea for creating a fresh, ‘outside-in’guest experience.
Bold?Yes. Forgettable? No way.
Youcan even up the ambience by adding hanging tea-light baubles.
Floral Table Backdrop
Afloral backdrop for your top table, or sweetheart table in this case, creates abeautiful feature for your wedding photos. I’m sure you will have seen manyphotos of top tables during speeches with bare walls behind, and it’s less thaninspiring. Bespoke floral backdrops, on the other hand, add romantic detail tothose memorable shots.
Thisdesign idea is created using a copper frame. It elevates the wedding flowersand gorgeously frames the couple sat in front.
Ultimate Hanging Flowers + Foliage
Theultimate idea in hanging floral wedding installations: flowers + foliage.
Thisconcept is a full on, suspended installation with big impact. It’s abundantlyromantic. Textural and celebratory. Forward thinking and simply exquisite.
Ittakes a talented florist to create a display of this quality (lucky I know afew!). But when done well, a hanging flower and foliage installationprovides the elegant and dynamic focal point dreams are made of.
Marquee Garlands
Funand atmospheric flowers don’t always go hand-in-hand with marquees. That is,unless you hire an expert, creative wedding planner like me.
Foliageand flower garlands, looped along a wire, add texture and colour that canreally make a marquee come alive. They work especially well in traditional polemarquees. It’s the kind of understated luxury guests won’t expect from amarquee wedding. And the perfect way to create that party atmosphere.
Hanging Hoop
Anotherdynamic option for marquee flowers is hanging hoops. Their shape gives them anelegant romance, but they also feel creative and celebratory.
Thisdesign, with a hanging hoop suspended over folding chairs and a wooden table,takes the idea of a garden party, marquee wedding to a new exquisite level. Theoverall vision is still laidback and inviting. But the hanging hoop instantlytells guests they’re in for something special.
