6 Ways to Incorporate Greenery
This always trending, cost effective and versatile floral option adds limitless texture and dimension to your wedding.
Ceremony Decor
Greenery transforms a ceremony space into an enchanting oasis. Line the aisle with long garlands or create focal points with oversized arrangements of greenery and blooms. For an outdoor ceremony, frame the altar with arches or arbors embellished with cascading vines, providing a picturesque backdrop for exchanging vows.
Bridal Hairstyles
Incorporating greenery into bridal hairstyles adds a touch of natural elegance. Consider weaving delicate sprigs of seeded eucalyptus or baby’s breath into braids or creating a sweet greenery crown for a woodland-inspired look (or for those precious flower girls.) Whether your vision is loose and wavy or a classy up-do, these green accents complement various hair textures and styles, offering a refreshing alternative to traditional hair accessories.
Centerpieces
Greenery-centric centerpieces bring a fresh and organic feel to your reception tables. Opt for dreamy garlands of trailing vines interspersed with candles for a romantic ambiance. Alternatively, create statement centerpieces such as lemon trees or lush arrangements of smilax, palm fronds, or leafy branches accented with pops of blooms for a touch of color and texture.
Wedding Cakes
Adorning wedding cakes with greenery isn’t just for rustic charm anymore. Consider cascading vines of ivy or sprigs of rosemary delicately placed around tiers for a simple yet sophisticated look. Having a beach wedding? Tropical leaves add a unique coastal vibe. For a more whimsical design, incorporate edible leaves like mint or sage into the cake decoration, providing both visual interest and aromatic appeal.
Bridal Bouquets
Greenery can serve as the foundation for stunning bridal bouquets, offering texture, volume, and depth. Mix various types of foliage such as olive branches, ferns, and eucalyptus to create cascading arrangements that pop against a white wedding dress. Add subtle touches of color with blooms or berries for contrast, or keep it monochromatic for a minimalist yet impactful look. (This is a great option for bridesmaids’ bouquets too!)
Reception Decor
Infuse your reception decor with greenery to bring the beauty of the outdoors inside. Hang chandeliers draped with ivy or suspend greenery installations from the ceiling for a dramatic effect. Don’t have the ability to hang decor at your venue? Outline your reception entrance with garland and use planters to define spaces throughout the night. Incorporating foliage into smaller details like chair decor and place settings will tie the entire look together.
