We take it step by step and first look back to the past, where weddings and wedding floral decorations had their own strict rules and the distinctive style was more of a nuisance — what a bore not to stand out from the crowd. After all, the wedding itself was arranged in advance, or forced by the bride's pregnancy, and had little to do with love. Flowers played a role in the ceremony in the bride's hand, like a corsage on the groom's breast and modestly spaced in vases on tables. AND everything was matched to white, as a symbol of purity and the birth of a new union of two people into one family.
Fortunately, today everything is different, people mostly marry for love, perceive the wedding day as a celebration of something new, exciting and groundbreaking, and the ceremony is followed by general merriment, stretching until the morning. They also correspond to this wedding decorations that are an integral part of the preparation day and reflect the personal preferences of the betrothed and the vision of a florist.
“Everything is allowed at weddings these days. It mostly has The bride's idea of the color combination of the wedding and the flowers are selected accordingly. But I also decorated a wedding, where all the decorations carried the theme of strawberries and on the wedding tables were blooming strawberries in pots and the bride held strawberry flowers in her wedding bouquet,” says Dana Dvořáková, employee of St. Gabriel.
The biggest hits of recent years are according to Dana are decorated Wedding Arches that shape the scenery during the ceremony. “By not going in front of the altar most of the time, the celebrant and the small table act as an alternative.” The volume is concluded directly in front of the altar, where the devotee blesses the newlywed couple and where rings are exchanged. It is basically a simple construction in the form of a circle or any polygon, which is decorated with flowers and other decorative objects.
“Eucalyptus, which often matches the color scheme of the wedding, is very popular at the wedding, in addition, it is beautiful to work with with. I like to combine it with white ranunculus flowers and also with feathers, which will give a touch of flair and an original look,” Dana describes one of the trends for this year.
Colorful flowers brighten up the wedding and perfectly complement the white wedding dress, monochrome tablecloths and fluttering canopies. They will give life, playfulness and soul to the whole wedding. Meadow flower is a great choice for decorating — delicate flowers combine well, they look tender and at the same time unbridled. They also stand out well with dried decoration and another advantage of meadow flowers for a wedding is the price — on average, meadow flower arrangements come out cheaper than those from foreign species.
“There will be a lot of meadow flowers this year, because suitable for popular garden weddings and weddings in barns from which there is a view of similarly flowered meadows. They just kind of fit into the Czech landscape. Meadow flowers look great even in the bride's bouquet, they give it an irregularity and a casual look, which is perfect for today's ceremonies in nature,” Dana describes. “Personally, I really like the detail with of the ring box, where you put delicate meadow flowers inside the box and two pins on which you place the wedding rings. In addition to the bride and groom. The photographer will be delighted with this decoration. “
Transfer to Tuscany, Italy, for the wedding, where the gentle seaside breeze blows on you and the aroma of juicy citrus that they bring with them to the wedding of positive summer atmosphere, drenched in sweetened limoncello. Or at least conjure it up — on home soil in the wedding barn. Italian weddings are characterised by marriage, fun, relaxation and dancing in the garden to the tune of the famous song Ti amo by Umberto Tozzi. Imagine endless tables covered with white tablecloths, decorated with olive trees, lemons and white peonies, high candles in the candelabra and in the background of a rustic barn overgrown with Parthenocissus. This immediately breathes a romantic atmosphere into one.
“Although everything is allowed at weddings, most couples, or perhaps more florists, bet on uniformity when decorating. If peonies appear on the tables, you can also see them in a wedding bouquet, at the ceremony or at the entrance to the premises. Everything then looks neat and thoughtful. But it should not be just about one kind of flower, on the contrary, the trick is to tastefully combine flowers and other materials.“
