4 Alternatives to Floral Décor for Your Wedding

4 Alternatives to Floral Décor for Your Wedding

When it comes to wedding décor, flowers are often the go-to option. But if you’re looking for something a little different, there are several options you can explore!

We advise you to consult a professional wedding planner for this because they’ll take any ideas you have and build on them until they arrive at something you like. Here are four alternatives to consider.

·      Paper Decorations

Paper can be used to create a wide range of decorations, from table runners and place cards to balloon bunches and tissue pom-poms. It’s a great choice if you want a rustic or vintage look, and it’s also very affordable.

·      Fabric Decorations

Fabric can be used to create everything from chair covers to backdrops to tablecloths. It’s a great option if you want a luxury or elegant look, and it can be matched to any color scheme!

·      Lights

Lights are a great way to add drama and atmosphere to your wedding décor. They can be used to create a fairy-tale feel or create an intimate atmosphere in a small space.

·      Plants

Plants go with pretty much anything! Use them to create a natural, eco-friendly look for your wedding. They can decorate the ceremony, reception, or both. You can also use plants as part of your centerpieces or favors.

Whatever wedding style you’re planning, there are plenty of alternatives to floral décor to choose from. So don’t be afraid to think outside the box and experiment a little!
