Where to put flowers for the most guest impact
If you’re like most brides you want to make sure you're getting the biggest impact out of your wedding flowers. You want flowers your guests will notice and if you’re like me, fawn over and talk about on their ride home.
So, as a floral professional and past maid-of-honor in four weddings, here is where I think your flowers will make the most impact on your guests.
Ceremony Arches
As your guests arrive and take their seat for the biggest moment of your life, your I do’s, creating an impact piece like a floral arch or floral spray will be something your guests WILL notice. Before you and your girls are standing up there with your beautiful blooms, you’ll wow your guests and invite them to anticipate the moment to come. A high-impact piece at the front of your ceremony space will make your day extra special to your guests.
Centerpieces
This is a fairly obvious one, but your guests will spend 75% of their time at the table. Meaning, your investment here will be making a great impact to the feel of your wedding. If you’re going for impact here is the best place you can invest your bloom dollars. From your guest’s perspective, these flowers are for them, it adds a ‘feel’ to your wedding that can honestly not be offered in blooms anywhere else. For an even bigger impact vary your tables between 2-3 types of centerpieces so that as your guests gaze around the room their eyes are dancing.
Blooms in the Ladies Room
This is a little extra spend that I believe makes a big statement. Your lady-friends will be spending a fair amount of time touching up their makeup throughout the night, fixing their hair and socializing in well, the restroom. You know it’s true. Adding a little posy bouquet by the basket of hairspray will be something that will delight your guests. I’d never thought it would be a place to spend a little cash but dang-it girl if I don’t notice and totally appreciate it when this detail is added. Talk about next-level guest experiences. Surprise is certain to make an impact.
Extra Details
Obviously, there are a lot of places you can invest in your blooms, but if we can focus directly on your guest experience these are certainly the top areas where you can delight your guests.
