5 Unique Ways To Use Flowers At Your Wedding

If you’re like us, you’re obsessed with flowers. They can make just about anything better! And a wedding isn’t really a wedding until you add lots of flowers to it. But beyond your bouquet and centerpieces, where else can flowers make a magical moment at your wedding? Here are some of The Bride Candy’s top picks for unusual places to use flowers at your wedding that will wow your guests!

Adding flowers to a fountain at your wedding is an instant way to ramp up the romance. In this picture, blush, nude, and purple roses fill a fountain tier at Villa Woodbine. The flowers were done by The Bride Candy, a South Florida Wedding florist.

Fountain Flowers

If your venue has a fountain, it’s automatically going to be a focal point of your wedding. Why not take it to the next level with flowers? You can always float some candles and petals in the fountain for a muted romantic effect, or you can choose to go large with floor arrangements surrounding the fountain and asymmetrical foam arrangements in the tiers. Flowers do great in fountains even in direct sunlight.

Staircase flowers can be really dramatic and an instant hit! This mediterranean staircase features a wrought iron banister wrapped in cascading smilax and roses by The Bride Candy, specializing in South Florida wedding flowers.

Staircase Garland

There’s nothing quite like descending a beautiful staircase to make a grand entrance at your wedding. If it has a railing, add a light garland and pillar candles to decorate it without breaking the budget. Or go all-in on a whimsical installation that climbs the banisters and adds a sense of floral drama. Beautifully decorated stairs are a popular photo and video spot, so it makes sense to do something special with them.

Keeping your wedding flowers low at your ceremony site is a really hot trend right now! In this photo, white flowers and greenery mark a ceremony site on a field.

Semi-circle Wedding Altar

Wedding arches have always been a popular ceremony backdrop. But what if the natural background for your wedding ceremony is already beautiful? You can create a beautiful and intimate space to tie the knot with a semi-circle wedding altar. It looks especially stunning outdoors! And often these flowers can be repurposed after the ceremony.

Floral Chandelier

For a grand and opulent decor statement, it’s hard to beat a chandelier. And the way to make it even more romantic is to fill it with flowers! Add ivy and flowers to existing chandeliers to make them stand out. Or ask your florist about custom suspended installations to go over your tables or dance floor. It’s one of the most impactful ways to use flowers indoors or in a tent, and is sure to be one of your wedding’s WOW pieces.

Make your wedding cake really pop with flowers. Orange flowers and greenery decorate this white tiered wedding cake in this photo. Florals done by The Bride Candy, a South Florida wedding florist.

Cake Flowers

It’s true that some wedding cakes can be stunning all on their own. But with trends leaning towards naked cakes and other minimalist designs, it’s a good idea to look beyond the cake topper when decorating a cake. Choose smaller and more delicate flowers that match your theme. The cake doesn't need a lot of flowers, so this is where a little bit of extra budget can really go a long way, especially if you’re having a cake cutting.

No matter where you choose to focus your floral energy, it’s always worth it to go over the top. We can help! Ask The Bride Candy about how we can create a standout floral experience at your wedding.
