Dreamy Greenery Wedding Bouquets

Go green and opt for a bouquet laden with greenery. For a truly modern look, you could stick with an all-foliage bouquet, or for something a little more pretty, ask your florist to add in a small selection of complementary flowers for the bridal bouquet, and keep your bridesmaid bouquets and boutonnières more pared-back. We’ve got a whole feature on greenery bouquets that are bursting with inspiration – you’ll find it here.

Greenery Wedding Ceremony Decor & Backdrops

Add a hint of simple, less is more romance to your wedding ceremony decor with a minimal greenery or herb wedding backdrop. This may be the perfect option to choose when you are unsure about mixing colour palettes with the ceremony venue. We can ensure, candlelight and foliage is a match made in decor heaven that promises to complement any venue. Amp up this look with a cute wall hanging amongst your greenery or lining your aisle with potted plants, hanging greenery from your chairs and of course plentiful of candles. Why not consider repurposing the decor as a photo booth backdrop or perhaps for your wedding cake display?

Greenery Wedding Table Centrepieces

In keeping with your neutral wedding theme, and also bearing in mind, going fully foliage may be more cost-effective than florals, why not achieve that dramatic tablescape with draping garlands and tall extravagant centrepieces? If you’re opting for round tables, ask your stylist for tall geometric stands with foliage arrangements, or dress up your venue’s candelabras with an abundance of fresh ruscus? As for long trestle tables, achieve a luxurious look with a bursting-oversized running garland that drapes to the floor for extra dramatic lushness!

Greenery & Herbs For Table Decor

Forgo your traditional floral centrepieces in place of natural garlands (best used on long tables), potted plants or loose greenery in mismatched vessels. Again, this look is effortless and could be simply put together with the help of family or friends (who can even take them home to keep afterwards!). You could even complete your table decorations with glowing candles or hints of complementary copper. For a round table, add a rustic wood slice and surround your greenery with tapered candles and tea lights. Even just a sprig of rosemary or lavender with each napkin, adds a fresh and inexpensive touch to your contemporary rustic styling.
