Intimate wedding ceremonies have seen a hike lately, mostly due to the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions. But another major reason is that intimate weddings are a big hit among Bollywood celebrities. From Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma’s destination wedding with just friends and family to Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor’s quaint affair.
This shift in smaller intimate wedding ceremonies also resulted in a shift to smaller wedding venues and similar décor. The décor that you see at intimate weddings is very different from what you would see at traditional Indian weddings. You can also get wholesale flowers so that your floral arrangements don’t go over the budget.
Since minimal décor is a show stopper, it is a huge trend at intimate weddings. We have listed some floral décor ideas so you can get inspired before deciding on décor for your big day!
Stick To a Theme
Every pre-wedding ceremony along with your wedding must have a certain theme. If you want to go by the traditional themes, like yellow for the Haldi ceremony and green for the Mehendi ceremony, it makes your task of picking out the décor easier.
Haldi ceremonies usually have hints of marigold for every element. The bridal seat can be covered with marigolds, or you can have strings of marigolds dangling around in the backdrop. They are also a huge hit with photobooths as all the pre-wedding ceremonies cover the fun and fiesta among family and friends. Traditional Mehendi décor usually has a colorful and funky vibe, so multi-colored flowers are largely suitable for this event. It also gives a rustic vibe to the ceremony.
If you are looking for very minimal décor, opt for simple floral streamers. Flower pots hung up on a screen also make for a great backdrop for a quaint pre-wedding ceremony. These flower pots are colorful and spread a cheerful vibe to the entire ceremony.
Mandap Décor
The mandap is the center piece of your wedding. Whether you are having your wedding indoors or outdoors, the mandap is where your ceremony will occur. There are so many options for a mandap. They can be covered in florals and foliage, or you can also floating mandaps.
When planning a small wedding ceremony, you can use décor that is easily available and affordable. Using eco-friendly elements is also a great idea. So, you can use reusable props at your wedding. Flower pots and vases are some great props to use. You can also use recyclable fresh flowers and mend them in a way that suits you, so you have gorgeous floral arrangements at your wedding.
Use It for Seating Arrangements
You can add hints of fresh foliage to the chairs placed for your guests to enhance the seating areas. If you are looking for a rustic vibe, use burlap to make bows for the chairs. You can also create seat covers using burlap. Fresh flowers when added to the back of the chairs will elevate the ambience of the event.
You can create your own color palette for the wedding ceremony using fresh and exotic flowers. For a light palette, baby’s breath florals look great as they have hints of lilac and ivory. Smaller flowers and foliage generally look great for seating décor. If you are having a garden wedding, you can opt for some colorful tints of florals as well.
Generally, foliage mixed with florals also gives an aesthetic vibe. So, you can use it to create a beautiful look for the dining area. If you wish to go for a pastel color palette, choose pastel roses or tulips, or you can also use baby’s breath as they are smaller flowers. Other elements that look great on the table where you can place your florals are glass orbs, floral table trellises, reusable vases and candle stands.
Huge floral center pieces don’t usually suit smaller wedding ceremonies as people don’t get to communicate freely. Instead, smaller floral elements distributed over the table look way better!
Other Floral Elements
Florals while largely used as floral strings or canopies in weddings, aren’t simply restricted to that. Florals can be used for décor in so many more ways. For a traditional look to the wedding ceremony, fill earthen pots with flower petals and suspend them for the ceiling. You can grab wholesale imported flowers so all your floral needs are cost-effective.
Floral arches are also a great décor idea to light up your venue’s entrance. Foliage is also a big hit at smaller weddings since it is small and looks minimal.
