Wedding Flower Pictures And Ideas

October 9, 2012 By Meegan 14 Comments

Last week I shared with you the bridal flowersI did for my sweet friend.  I still have a few more pictures I would like to share with you.  This wedding was so much fun.  The bride knew exactly what she wanted, that made it so easy and fun!!

We purchased several different kinds of flowers, berries and leaves with different textures and colors.  We decided on 3 types of tablescapes, since there were 23 tables.  We could mix and match flowers and tablescapes, so not one table would be the same.  LOVE it!!  This particular table was all vases and jars at different levels.  Each vase or jar was wrapped with twine or ribbon coordinating with her colors.  Don’t you just love hydrangeas??  The leaves are Dusty Miller.

The wooden boxes were made by her fiancée with barn wood from his grandpa!!  Love the wood!!  It adds some dimension to each table.  In these jars we have roses, yarrow, baby’s breath, dusty miller, berries, stock, and filler.

 

One of the bridesmaids had these wooden disks for us to use, too.  It was fun to play with them.  They also added levels and texture.  We basically used the same flowers as the above pictures, but they take on a whole new look with using the wooden disk.

Some of the jars were wrapped with lace and ribbon.  So simple and beautiful!!

We bought some succulents to add to some of the bouquets, but then changed our minds.  So I thought they would be cute tied with twine.  People LOVED it!!  So simple.  Yet very effective.

We had 13 shepherds hooks holding jars with wire, as lanterns.  We placed a battery operated tea light in each one.  I thought it would look great with the real flowers in them the light the way, and look beautiful at the same time.

Here’s another view of the shepherds hooks.  Don’t you just love the doors??  So many ideas from this wedding.

 And this is probably my favorite spot.  LOVE this dresser greeting all the guests.  I filled it with as many flowers as I could.  It was so fun.

I hope you have gotten some ideas for simple ways to decorate with flowers.  You don’t need to spend a lot.  Just use your creativity.  It is fun to step out of the box and use other flowers than you would normally see.  It is eye catching and definitely some your gusets will remember!!
Are you following me on Pinterest, Facebook, Hometalk , Stumble Upon and Google+?  It would be so fun to have you along with me there, too!!

Make it a terrific Tuesday!!

    How beautiful! Those are some incredible ideas and such a simple way to add charm and personal touches to a wedding. I went to one a couple of years ago where they used a dresser like that and I just loved it! Thanks for sharing this with us Meegan! :-)

    Very Pretty Meegan! Great Idea with the battery operated tea lights! I used real tea-lights in mason jars last year for my son’s birthday and they all blew out! The battery operated ones sure would have been helpful!! LOL
