15+ Trending Wedding Flower Ideas for a Whimsical Wedding Ceremony

Planning your wedding decor is the most exciting process of all. Whether you plan to host a destination wedding in India or have a more intimate celebration on your mind, finding the perfect wedding decor that suits your style and budget need not be daunting. And if you happen to be in love with the idea of floral everything, you have come to the right place! 

First of all, let us be clear. If you want to go the floral way, please don’t listen to all the, “You can’t use this color, or you can’t do that” babble. With more and more couples deciding to break away from the formalities and limitations of floral setups, we love how we can now express our creativity. What better way to capture the sacred yet free-spirited essence of marriage than fresh flowers? They are a gorgeous addition to any space, and there’s no reason to stick to your bouquet when thinking about wedding flowers. 

Lucky for you, we’ve got some fabulous wedding flower ideas, from floral mandaps to hanging floral installations. Here are a few of our absolute favorites! 

1. Floral Wall of Pastel Hues

How about a floor-to-ceiling arrangement of greenery and colorful blooms setting the backdrop for some memorable ceremony photos? Pick a strategically-placed wall that can be the center of attention for special moments of the night, like cake cutting or pheras. Or, create a stylish lounge outside the main reception room for guests to enjoy. We love those contrasting visuals of industrial-looking undone walls and garden-fresh blooms. Want to create a more ethereal look that won’t break the bank? Cover the majority of the wall with less expensive flowers and use statement flowers at the center.

2. Hanging Floral Installations for a Dreamy Celebration

If your vision of a romantic wedding is a fairytale-like setup, then hanging flowers is probably a great option. It’s not surprising that hanging flowers are a huge trend this season. Isn’t there something spectacular about a falling bloom or a string of orchids? For a lush look, consider greenery like ivy or maidenhair fern. Want to add more intrigue to the decorations? Experiment with Victorian rose or use the exotic Indian genda or bundles of bare branches.

3. Going over the top with Floral Figurines

Make your guests go wow as you walk towards the stage or mandap. Invest in a floral structure placed either at the center of the stage or somewhere else visible to guests as they make their way in. A fully covered arch will create a dramatic statement and become the focal point, directing attention to the decor. A combination of fresh garlands and greenery can create a whimsical and striking feel. If you don’t want to add a tall structure, then look out for existing structures you can work around!

4. Lampshade Centerpieces to up the Wow-factor

Wondering what this is about? Introduce a twist and play around with your statement centerpieces. Ask your florist to cover a tall lampshade with moss! If you don’t want to sacrifice flowers, fill the vase with fresh blooms or strew small bud vases with single stems (tulips, dahlias, or roses). Lampshades give you all the reasons to go unconventional and opt for a floral touch that won’t look too eclectic. You could line up the food counters with floral lampshades or use them to decorate the mandap.

5. Floating Flowers Sure look Out-Of-the-World

Does your venue have a pool or pond? Nothing could beat the idea of a floating bed of moss in a luxurious water landscape. If you choose to add candles and extensive flower arrangements, it’s just going to make the guests go ‘awe-ing’ over the entire decorations. Umm, if you want to get romantic, why not profess your love for each other by writing your name with flowers at the center of the pool.

6. Flower Bouquets for a pleasant surprise

Forget the structured and safe bouquets of the minimalist couple. Floral décor gives you the perfect opportunity to craft jaw-dropping aesthetics. From orange marigolds, red pygmy water lilies to delicate ranunculus, go wild with a riot of colors in a lavish mix of shapes and textures.
