WEDDING FLOWERS

YOUR WAY

date posted: April 06, 2016

If you are doing flowers your way, you’re doing them right—just like everything else in your Hudson Valley wedding.

That said, tradition can be beautiful too. Since there are plenty of opportunities to work flowers into your decor, why not mix it up?

9 FLORAL DIRECTIONS TO PONDER

 

1. CEREMONY BACKDROP Try a wall of vines or grasses accented with blooms or dried berries as the background for your wedding vows.

2. EFFORTLESS Have your bouquet or centerpieces arranged to look as though they were just gathered on a walk through the woods. Request a loose design with earthy flowers.

3. CONTAINERS Boost your style with sleek geometric vases that contrast with the softness of flowers.

4. BRING IN THE GREEN Greens add boldness, with or without a few artfully placed blooms.

5. CELEBRATE INDIVIDUALITY Not every centerpiece has to be identical! Variety can be fun, so switch it up.

6. TINY VASES Mixing and matching different small vases and placing one or two blooms in each creates a really sweet yet dynamic look.

7. NOT JUST FOR THE EYES Blend in sprigs of aromatic herbs, such as basil or mint, to really bring your arrangement to life.

8. GO BOLD Don’t be afraid to mix huge bold-colored blooms with softer, smaller flowers. The right floral designer can bring drama to any color palette or style you’re going for.

9. FRESH AND LOCAL It’s not just about food anymore! Talk to your florist about what fruit is in season and locally grown. Fortunately for Hudson Valley couples, there are many options that save both money and the planet.
