Blooming Elegance: Large Scale Floral Installations for Your Dream Country Wedding
Country weddings are renowned for their rustic charm, natural beauty, and an atmosphere that seamlessly blends elegance with a touch of wild, unrefined nature. One of the most enchanting ways to amplify this ambiance is through large scale floral installations. These grand displays not only beautify the venue but also create unforgettable experiences and lasting memories for you and your guests. Here are some stunning types of large scale floral installations to consider for your country wedding.
1. Floral Arches
Ceremonial Grandeur
A floral arch is a timeless centrepiece for your wedding ceremony. Positioned at the altar or entrance, these arches can be adorned with a variety of blooms, greenery, and even branches to reflect the natural beauty of your country setting. Opt for stunning dried florals and local foliage to enhance the authenticity and freshness of your arch. From classic symmetrical designs to whimsical asymmetrical arrangements, floral arches provide a picturesque backdrop for your vows and photos.
2. Hanging Installations
Suspended Splendour
For a truly magical and ethereal atmosphere, consider hanging floral installations. These can range from chandeliers made of flowers to ceiling drapes and hanging garlands. Suspended above dining tables, dance floors, or the ceremony space, these installations draw the eye upwards and create a sense of enchantment. Mixing dried flowers with elements like fairy lights or ribbons can add an extra layer of charm to your country wedding setting.
3. Flower-Filled Boats or Milk Churns
Rustic Accents
Embrace the country spirit with floral installations inside vintage boats or old milk churns. Filled to the brim with a riot of colourful dried flowers, these installations can serve as unique décor elements at your venue entrance, along walkways, or even as a striking photo spot. The rustic charm of these items combined with gorgeous dried flowers encapsulates the essence of a countryside wedding.
4. Tree Adornments
Nature’s Elegance
Leverage the natural landscape of your country wedding venue by adorning trees with dried flowers, ribbons, and lanterns. Draping flowers around the branches or creating dried flower wreaths to hang from the limbs enhances the organic beauty of your surroundings. This type of installation is perfect for outdoor ceremonies and receptions, creating a seamless blend between nature and your wedding décor.
5. Floral Aisle Runners
Pathway to Paradise
Transform your wedding aisle into a floral paradise with a lush floral runner. This can be achieved by lining the aisle with dense arrangements of dried flowers and greenery, creating a garden-like pathway. Alternatively, a more budget-friendly option is to scatter dried petals along the aisle. This installation not only adds a pop of colour and texture but also guides your guests’ attention towards the altar.
6. Table Runners and Centrepieces
Dining in Bloom
Extend the floral theme to your reception with elaborate table runners and centrepieces. Instead of traditional vases, consider long, flowing arrangements that span the length of the tables, or oversized centrepieces that serve as focal points. Incorporate dried flowers, foliage and rustic elements like burlap or wooden slices to keep the country feel. Adding candles or lanterns among the flowers can enhance the ambiance, especially for evening receptions.
7. Floral Pergolas and Gazebos
Garden Romance
If your venue includes a pergola or gazebo, transform it into a floral haven. Draping it with dried flowers and greenery can create an intimate and romantic space for the ceremony, cocktail hour, or even the reception. Use a mix of climbing plants, trailing blooms, and dense foliage to cover the structure, making it a floral focal point in your country wedding landscape.
Final Thoughts
Large scale dried flower installations can elevate the aesthetic and emotional impact of your country wedding. By choosing the right types of installations, you can create a breathtakingly beautiful and cohesive look that reflects your personal style and enhances the natural charm of your venue.
