When you say “I do,” what are you hoping your surroundings look like?
A lot of brides-to-be hope for a beach wedding, which can be great way of getting married. You could aim for an actual on-the-sand ceremony, or you could do something like this — have your wedding within the comfortable confines of a beachfront hotel. You won’t accidentally get some uncomfortably large man sunbathing in an uncomfortably small swimsuit(or, heaven forbid, in nothing at all!) in your wedding pictures, but you still get the sunshine and refreshing salty air of a beach wedding.
Above, the decorator used a classic arch and just covered it with flowers. For draping the seats along the aisle, the decorator used tulle and gathered it underneath pretty purple and white arrangements. Of course, one caveat to beach weddings would be the wind.
Of course, many brides also dream about a garden wedding. This gardens can have a cool dome that the decorator can rim with flowers. The decorator can also cover all the pillars, including the ones placed alongside the aisle, with flowy chiffon. Pink and white flower arrangements sit on top each aisle pillar and the couple’s initials — A and M — are laid out artfully with red, pink and white rose petals in the middle of the aisle.
The flowers used for the above wedding ceremony were all purple phalenopsis orchids. Setting aside how expensive that probably was, they sure do make a big visual impact. The florist used the flower both in the arrangements framing the head of the aisle and in the aisle arrangements. And they had a nice backdrop there — water!
