How to Decorate for Outdoor Weddings

Spring and summer are the time when flowers outdoors bloom in full force. This is also the time when romance blooms, and many brides start planning their ceremonies. As they try to take advantage of the beauty of the outdoor flowers, many brides will opt for an outdoor wedding. If you are taking your wedding outdoors, here are some ideas to consider for your decor.

Decorate with Wildflowers

Outdoor weddings are the perfect time to bring wildflowers into the decorating scheme. Wreaths for hair made from fresh cut wildflowers, wildflower bouquets adorning the table and even in the hands of the bride and bridesmaids will give the wedding a fresh, organic feel. With the help of Gordon Boswell Flowers, you can carefully plan this look so that it comes together beautifully, without feeling as though the arrangements were planned.

Floating Flowers on Water Features

Does your outdoor venue have a pool, fountain or pond? Consider arranging flowers on floating arrangements with candles to light up the space and add some color to the water feature. This will help tie it into the ceremony and make it a true asset to the space. Bring the look together by adding bowls with floating flowers to the tables at the reception area.

Ivy and Flower Runners on Tables

If your outdoor ceremony includes an outdoor reception, decorate the table with a string of flowers and ivy running down the center. Instead of a large centipede, which can block the view of guests or limit you to circular tables, you can ensure all guests enjoy the beauty of your decor while also ensuring you can use any type of table, including picnic tables, at your reception.

Embracing Green

Many outdoor venues are filled with natural greenery. Brides can embrace that by making the main color of their flowers and decor green as well. Greenery mixed with brilliant white roses and hydrangeas creates an organic, natural feel while still providing an elegant look for an outdoor wedding.
