Should You Use Greenery for Your Backdrop?

Congratulations on getting engaged! Now, it’s time to start planning your perfect wedding. So, what kind of wedding do you want?     What kind of backdrop do you think would work best if you’re having an outdoor wedding, and what decoration materials should you use?

Traditional decor for weddings always includes flowers and foliage. But if you’re looking to make your wedding stand out, opt for greenery instead. If you’re still not sure whether that’s a good idea, the reasons below will convince you why it is!

•                It Can Make Your Event Less Expensive

Most of the time, flowers (and foliage) will add up when it comes to your wedding budget. They’re expensive, and they’ll only be used for one day and then go to waste. But when you opt for greenery instead, it’s probably the least expensive type of decor you can use. But that in no way makes it any less beautiful.

•                It’s Reusable

Foliage is generally more affordable, but it doesn’t have to be used only as decor. After the wedding (or perhaps even during it), you can use it as your main decoration for other events such as birthdays, anniversaries, and baby showers.

•                There’s Greenery for Every Season

The great thing about foliage is that it’s not seasonal. While flowers will usually come in one color and can only be used for a particular event, leafy plants come in various shapes and colors.

So, it’s really convenient because you don’t have to worry about planning your wedding in particular seasons. In other words, greenery is seasonal-proof!

Are you ready to have greenery paint your venue with beauty?
