The Wedding Edition: 4 Alternatives to Traditional Flower Arrangements

Weddings – they are romantic, emotionally riveting, and memorable. But there is so much that goes on behind the scenes to put a couple's big day together flawlessly! From picking out the grandest venue and choosing the perfect suit and gown to ironing out the sticky details like decór, few things in life are as stressful as planning for a wedding, if you ask us. This is especially so, given that we’re living in a modern world where couples are constantly looking for fresh ways to stand out.  

If you are, too, looking for ways to stand out and make a lasting impression for your guests, it’s time to start thinking about your floral arrangements. After all, flowers are integral for any wedding day, right?

Traditionally, wedding flower arrangements are all about uniformity and compact styles. But times have changed, and modern floristry has given rise to an abundance of interesting, trendy alternatives for brides- and grooms-to-be. Below, we explore 4 alternatives to traditional floral arrangements.

1. Multi-Coloured Floral Arrangement in a Basket

 Say goodbye to dull, monochromatic floral arrangements or arrangements featuring flowers of all the same colours – multi-coloured ones are here to steal the show. With a dash of colour, baskets brimming with gorgeous flowers and foliage screams anything but typical. You could also turn these floral beauties into gifts that your guests get to bring home!

2. Loose and Asymmetrical

Contrary to popular belief, flower arrangements don’t always have to be compact and asymmetrical. Like art, you’re given the stylistic freedom to do whatever you envision for your wedding day – so don’t be afraid to improvise. Go ahead and think outside the box.  

With flowers and wild, wispy greens that flow naturally and expressively, loose and asymmetrical floral arrangement radiates both fun and elegance. Best of all, they can be fine-tuned to complement any visual elements of a wedding for a seamless and cohesive aesthetic.

3. Textural Elements

From bold accents to rough edges and smooth lines, texture helps to create breathtaking dimensions that will elevate a floral arrangement drastically, turning them into super-stunners. So don’t be afraid to accent your flowers with different textures. It could be leaves of varying patterns, branches, cones and smaller filler flowers – experiment with different combinations until you achieve the desired aesthetic.
