Your Guide to Ground Flowers

Your Guide to Ground Flowers

Over the past few years we've seen a rise in the popularity of ground flowers, and we love it! Our upgrowing pieces create a meadow-like effect that's perfect for so many venues and styles. Plus, they are easily moved and repurposed to other areas of your reception, creating some flexibility in your budget for other decor like table centers or personal flowers.

Ceremony Backdrop

Set the vibe for your ceremony with a floral backdrop! We typically recommend ordering 2 or 3 upgrowing pieces to ensure full coverage. Opt to have us stage them side by side or split apart.

We will discuss quantities and desired shape in our consultation. Here are a few recent examples of our ground flowers as ceremony backdrops.

Aisle Decor

Decorating your aisle with ground flowers is a great way to extend the impact of your ceremony florals and add depth to your photos. Plus, who doesn't want to feel like they're walking through a field of flowers?

Continuous Floral

Create a continuous floral aisle with multiple large ground pieces set together. This style will require guests to access their seats from the outside edges instead of through the aisle. We will determine quantities based on guest count.

Broken Aisle

A broken aisle uses smaller ground pieces and leaves space between the chairs. Keep it minimal with one for every other aisle seat or create a fuller effect by ordering one per aisle seat.

Aisle Entry

Welcome your guests to their seats with beautiful floral entry pieces. Keep it simple with a cluster shape to sit near the end chairs or opt for a longer design to sit behind the back rows.

P.S. They look great in those end-of-aisle kiss photos!

Repurposing Ground Flowers

We said it earlier, but we'll say it again, one of the best perks of ground flowers is the ease of repurposing them. Place them in front of your sweetheart table, at the base of a seating chart, near the bar or dessert table - the options are endless!
