Ceremony Flowers

When thinking about flowers for your wedding, it’s important to consider which areas you want to have the most impact. Your ceremony location is definitely one of those areas. Ceremony flowers should help create a special, unique backdrop for your vows. Here are a few ceremony options to consider as well as some tips for repurposing arrangements.

Arbors & Gazebos

Arbors are structures that serve as a backdrop or frame for your ceremony. They often come in various shapes such as triangles, hexagons, hoops, or arches and are typically made of wood or metal. See what arbors we have available to rent here. Gazebos and other permanent structures at venues are also great places to affix florals.

We don’t usually recommend moving florals that are affixed to your arbor or gazebo. If you’re hoping to repurpose ceremony flowers to your reception area then we recommend opting for freestanding arrangements or adding aisle arrangements that can be easily moved.

In certain occasions, it may be possible to have your sweetheart table positioned in front of your arbor. You'll need to check with your venue about where they have their reception set up in relation to the ceremony.

Arbors

We have a few arbors in our rental collection and have also worked with many arbors from rental companies like Arden Event Collective. Please make sure to provide dimensions of your arbor if you are supplying your own!

Suspended Installations

Suspended installations such as flower clouds or hanging greenery are another great way to draw attention to your ceremony site.

Planning on flipping your ceremony site into your reception area? We suggest positioning the dance floor or sweetheart table under the suspended install.

Freestanding Frames

Freestanding frames and stands are a great alternative to an arbor and nicely frame your ceremony site. We can use multiple stands or frames at varying heights to create contrast and depth.

Plus, arrangements on stands can be repurposed as elevated arrangements on tables or near the bar, guestbook table, or other areas you want to highlight at your reception.

Pillars and Stands

We have an assortment of pillars and stands to create a lovely ceremony backdrop such as white cylinder pillars and clear square stands. You have the option to add covers to the cylinder pillars if you want a different color.

Choose one style for a clean, classic look or use a mix of pillars, stands, and ground flowers to create a unique, textural design!

Deconstructed Arbor

Our deconstructed arbor creates an asymmetrical pillar effect that beautifully frames you and your betrothed.

Large Arrangements

Large arrangements are versatile and one of the best options if you’re looking to repurpose ceremony flowers at your reception. We offer large round designs that look great atop wine barrels. We also offer wide meadow arrangements that make a great ceremony backdrop and/or aisle entrance. They can also be placed at the base of an arbor.

Meadow Arrangements

Meadow arrangements are about 3 feet wide and made tall to create the effect of, well, a meadow! Combine a few for a lush ceremony backdrop or separate them to frame your ceremony.

These are a great option to line the aisle or as arrangements at the aisle entry. They can easily be repurposed to different areas of your reception like in front of a sweetheart table, on or in front of a dessert table, or circling the dance floor.
