Flowers go beyond being decorative elements; they tell a story that’s inspired and nuanced. From the bride’s bouquet to dramatic floral arches and table centerpieces that welcome guests to the celebration, blooms help mark life’s biggest moments with beauty and impact. But florals don’t have to stop at tradition. At WKF Weddings in St. Louis, Missouri, we love pushing creative boundaries, finding fresh, eye-catching ways to weave flowers into every part of your wedding or event. Ready to think beyond the bouquet? Let’s delve into some artistic ideas.
Include Blooming Flowers with Escort Cards
Give your seating display a fresh upgrade by accompanying escort cards with a small bouquet or arrangement that’s full of personality. Whether you go bold with ranunculus, soft with garden roses (add in some eucalyptus for texture), these little blooms pack a big visual punch. Match them to your wedding hues or customize them to match your guests — either way, they add a fun, stylish element. It’s a creative detail that looks lovely and gives your guests something sweet to remember after the party ends.
Place a Single Stem at Each Place Setting
A single stem can make a serious style statement. Adding one to each place setting is a simple, chic way to tie your table design together. Lay it across the napkin, slip it into the menu, or pop it right on the charger plate — it instantly adds color, texture, and a fresh-from-the-garden vibe. You can keep it cohesive by matching your floral palette, or go bold with a bloom that pops. It’s minimal, modern, and totally memorable — proof that one small flower can go a long way.
Have a Wearable Flower DIY Bar
Looking to add something fresh, fun, and totally Instagram-worthy? A DIY wearable flower bar is just the thing. Guests can mix and match blooms, greenery, and ribbon to make their own flower crowns, corsages, boutonnieres, or even leis right on the spot. Stock the setup with bold blooms and cute accents that match the theme of the occasion, and have a floral assistant nearby to keep things flowing. It’s interactive and fun, and the finished creations double as pops of color for your party photos.
Decorate with Hanging Floral Installations
Level up your event’s visual impact with hanging floral installations like floral clouds, bloom-covered chandeliers, or hoops crafted with fresh blossoms and accents. They add height, color, and serious atmosphere while pulling the eye upward for a wow factor moment. Hang one above the dance floor, the sweetheart or dessert table, or just above where you speak your vows. These arrangements bring drama without crowding tables, a bonus. Plus, they’re perfect for photo ops and give your space an immersive feel.
Use Floral Runners in Place of Linens
Ready to ditch the linen and go full floral? A fresh flower runner is the ultimate tablescape upgrade. Made with a mix of blooms and greenery like lisianthus, roses, eucalyptus, and ivy, it flows naturally down the table for a totally dreamy, garden-party feel. It’s bold, gorgeous, and way more exciting than plain fabric. Bonus: Since it’s low to the table, your guests can actually talk without peeking around a centerpiece. It’s a stylish decor piece that adds color, texture, and life to any meal.
Here at WKF Weddings, we know flowers set the whole vibe. That’s why we don’t stop at basic bouquets. We’re all about finding fresh, creative ways to make blooms part of every moment, from bold backdrops to subtle yet unforgettable touches. Thoughtful, fun, and totally personalized, that’s how we do floral design.
