WE’RE MARRIED TO perfection Photo by Shaun Menary Photography; Florals by Gro Designs and have their senses stimulated by fl owers from all angles. Large fl ower installations, as well as blooms popping up in unexpected places, are some of the hot trends for couples to keep their eyes on. Floral chandeliers Th ere’s no need to worry about seeing over table centerpieces or fl owers getting in the way of photo moments. Th anks to hanging fl owers and fl oral chandeliers, fl owers are quite literally moving up in the world. Hanging fl oral pieces can add instant drama and make a large visual impact. Florists can hang fl owers from beams over tabletops to increase visual impact, whether as individual baskets, single stems or fl oral swags. Hanging fl oral chandeliers are dramatic but naturally expensive. Th ink about a large installation that forces guests to look up into a sea of greenery and fl owers. Th e smell and the sight can be breathtaking. Welcome wreaths Why should wreaths only be reserved for front doors and holiday decor? A welcome fl oral wreath can be placed by the entryway to a chapel or reception hall with a heartfelt sentiment that shows guests how much they’re appreciated. Fairy-tale flowers A fl oral curtain of hanging fl owers can line a chuppah or drape the altar in beautiful blooms. Couples who would like a fairy-tale entrance also can make their debut as a couple by coming through a fl ower curtain at the reception. Martha Stewart Weddings says a cascade of fl owers and greens can be romantic and elegant. Dance floor blooms Who says fl owers have to be overhead or on a table? With a plexiglass dance fl oor, or one made from some other transparent material, fl owers can be underfoot, creating a magical fl oral carpet. Floral necklaces Brides needn’t carry their bouquets, they can wear ethereal and whimsical fl oral pieces around their necks or on their waists instead. Couples are urged to speak with their fl orists about the innovative ways they can make fl owers an even more awe-inspiring component of their weddings.
