Every wedding seems to feature the same floral centerpieces, aisle ends, and archways. Your ceremony should be just as unique as your love, so think outside the norm when it comes to decor! Look for new locations to place your wedding flowers as well as interesting ways to use them. Here are five unique floral arrangement ideas to get you started.

Creative Ways to Use Wedding Flowers

1. Guest Book

The entrance to the reception hall is an excellent location to adorn with fresh flowers. Surround the guest book with a colorful floral design, or wrap flower stems around the stand it’s propped up on. Every guest will be welcomed with a delightful aroma as they sign in and leave heartfelt messages.

2. Flower Wall

Down the line, you’ll thank yourself for having the foresight to add beautiful backdrops to your ceremony. A massive wall swathed in wedding flowers and greenery would make a gorgeous background. It’s the perfect spot for photo ops — both professional and casual. Consider using an ombre design, or have strings of flowers hang from the top.

3. Lanterns

Lanterns are incredibly versatile and can suit just about any theme. From vintage or country to minimalist, there are so many lantern shapes, finishes, and designs to choose from. Suspend lanterns filled with custom wedding flowers from the ceiling, display them on tables, or hang them from floor stands.

4. Ceiling Garland

Garland isn’t just for the holidays anymore. Draping floral garland from the ceiling creates a stunning, mystical picture. Whether you’re in a reception hall or out under a tent, this greenery will undoubtedly enhance the atmosphere. Best of all, your wedding will smell fresh and floral.

5. Floating Flowers

Flowers floating in pools make for a pretty sight, and they’re not commonly seen at weddings. If your venue has a fountain, scatter various wedding flowers across its surface. Otherwise, you can get a little more creative. Have buckets, troughs, or cans of water with blooms set up throughout the area.
