Individuality and creativity are now valued without exaggeration in everything - in interiors, clothes, gifts and, of course, in the design of events. And what could be more important than your own wedding? The decoration of the hall, chairs, photo zones - all this has been entrusted to florists and decorators for years. But if you go towards experiments and do floral decoration yourself? We already have 8 interesting ideas for you!
1. Flower heart for a wedding
For a gentle and romantic heart, you will need thick cardboard or an old box, a stationery knife and flowers. And also - ribbons, lace, sisal rope and various little things for decoration. Cut out a heart-shaped base template from cardboard (for strength, you can glue two identical ones).
Tie a ribbon or rope to it, from which you will make a loop, so that you can hang the decoration later. Cut off the flowers, leaving a small part of the stem, and begin to lay them out along the outline. A stapler works best for attachment, although a glue gun will work as well.
Lay out the buds tightly to completely hide the cardboard frame, and hide all connections behind leaves and petals. All that remains is to entwine the heart with ribbons, beads, decorate with sparkles or rhinestones. In the same style, you can make whole inscriptions or, for example, decorate with flowers only part of the heart.
2. Flower sculptures
An invaluable material for making flower decorations for a wedding is a floral sponge. From it you can make small decorative compositions on the table or even whole sculptures. Take ready-made blocks or cut out the desired shape yourself.
Before starting work, the sponge should be slightly soaked with plain water. You can paste over the sides with leaves, twigs, wide flat flowers or decorate with ribbons and lace. Cut the buds for the composition, leaving a stem 8-10 cm long (depending on the thickness of the sponge). And then just stick the flowers tightly into the blank one by one to hide it completely.

3. Decoration of wedding columns with flowers
Cascading flower arrangements are ideal for lightly and beautifully decorating columns. The main thing is to choose the right plants without a strong aroma, of a suitable shape and in the same style. Be sure to make sure that all the buds are dense and strong, and the inflorescences are stable, otherwise they will quickly fly right over the heads of the guests.
Flowers can be sewn to fabric, attached to a special mesh, fixed with a stapler or simply glued. To make the column lush, but not lurid, dilute the buds with curly greens. Use lace, tulle and draperies, tiebacks, wide ribbons and other embellishments.
4. Wedding arch of flowers
The wedding arch is a symbol of the altar, the gateway to a new life and the birth of a new family. This is one of the most striking elements in the design of a wedding venue, so fresh flowers will come in handy here. Just make sure that the arch, floor vases, bridal bouquet and the rest of the floral decor are combined with each other.
Be sure to take into account the width of the arch in combination with the splendor of the dress, because the newlyweds must fit in it and not touch the structure. Do not overload the frame so that it is stable, does not wobble or fall over. Whole flowerpots with stones and sand can be used as weights at the base.
The frame is well draped with chiffon, tulle or organza - they are light and airy. Use scotch tape, a stapler, and grips to shape. Start the decoration with paper flowers and other "eternal" elements, but it is better to add living buds closer to the ceremony.

5. Flower arrangements on the table
Instead of large bouquets, try decorating your wedding table with small flower arrangements.They look more elegant, do not take up much space and do not disturb guests. Take the different flowers that remain from the arch and floor decor, and lay out neat ikebana from them.
Bouquets of different plants look interesting, but in the same style or color scheme. Instead of vases, take small jars, cover them with lace, fabric or decorate with decoupage. Add greenery, ribbons, beads and other decorations and the table decor is ready. By the way, the same mini-bouquets can be distributed to guests in the form of a nice little souvenir.
6. Decorating chairs with flowers
Massive fabric floor covers have long been out of fashion, but this is not a reason to give up the elegant decor of chairs. Instead of tightening it with a dense, impermeable fabric, take a wide piece of chiffon or organza, pass it over the crossbars and tighten with a loop. And instead of a big banal bow, insert flowers or whole green branches into the knot.

7. Wedding glasses with flowers
Festive glasses decorated with fresh flowers or petals look very gentle and romantic. To do this, you need small inflorescences and buds or large flat petals - depending on the rest of the design. By the way, fabric petals look no worse, and working with them is easier and more convenient.
Thoroughly wash, dry and degrease the glasses with alcohol so that the parts hold well. And then begin to gradually spread the petals from the bottom up on the glue gun, forming a bud around the glass. Carefully glue the next layers only along the bottom and gently bend it with your hands.
Don't go to the very top - don't have too many of them. When you're done, wrap tape around the bottom of the flower bed for additional attachment and to hide joints and small marks of glue. It remains only to decorate the petals with light beads and rhinestones-drops.
8. Hanging flower decor
Hanging planters hanging from the ceiling above the table give the wedding hall a solemn atmosphere. It can be bouquets and live flowerpots, which you can then plant in the garden at the dacha. The main thing is that they are in the same style, color scheme or concept.
The simplest, most affordable and at the same time reliable suspension is improvised baskets using the macrame technique. You only need a tight rope, which you need to cut into 6-8 pieces of the same length. Tie them from below, leaving a decorative tassel, then knot in pairs upward, forming a small "string bag", and tie a ring for suspension on top.
