A GREENER APPROACH
TO BRIDAL DECOR
Though cut flowers are traditional wedding fare, throwing away so many of them when the party ends is not exactly being nice to the planet. Using live plants for centerpieces and bridal decor is a great alternative. It leaves less waste and less of a footprint after the celebration is over. With some clever planning, the live plants can also make great mementos for the guests to take home, leaving them with a lasting memory of the festivities.

SHOW YOUR ECLECTIC STYLE
After the ceremony, it’s time to let loose and celebrate. The space outside the reception area provides an awesome chance to show off your and your partner’s personalities. It can be a playful assortment of found objects, hand-painted signs, and funky planters bursting with plants and flowers that, using statement colors like white and pink, can unify the whole look to make a truly inviting display to wow your guests. Check out the plants we used for inspiration.
