It is these flowers that will become the main element of the holiday, so it is better to use plants that are similar in color or variety to decorate the hall.

Decor ideas
When taking an idea with any decor as a basis, it should always be correlated with the chosen wedding style.
Roses, peonies, callas, amaranths, heliconias, and sunflowers are suitable for wedding decoration.
When composing a wedding flower arrangement for a banquet hall, there are four decorative styles:
- Parallel - all compositions are arranged in parallel rows (horizontal, vertical or diagonal). In this case, the color palette is built on contrasts or using several shades of the same color.
- Decorative – flowers are used to form compositional islands of regular shape. They are evenly spaced around the room; combinations of large and small compositions also look appropriate.
- Vegetative - compositions are created on the basis of a decorative style, but using wild, seasonal and dried flowers, indoor plants with spectacular greenery, and various natural materials. Dry branches, berries, fruits, cones, ears of corn, and vegetables are used as the latter. With such a design, it is important to emphasize the beauty of wild nature, its untouched naturalness.
- Formo-linear - a combination of art-contemporary and modernist styles. The composition focuses on a large flower, around which accessory plants are collected. The arrangement can be ascending or descending, multi-level, asymmetrical.

Balloons for a wedding: from the cortege to the ceremonial arch
Flower arch
The flower arch is suitable for both outdoor and indoor weddings. It adds solemnity and focuses attention on the entrance area. The number of flowers on the arch often determines the cost of the entire composition. Florists recommend combining fresh flowers with artificial ones on this element; florists often use this technique. At the same time, the cost of the product is reduced, and the problem of the seasonality of some flowers, which are simply unavailable at certain times of the year, is also solved.
It is not necessary to fill the entire volume of the arch with flowers. If you use a wicker frame rather than a metal one, it can be decorated with fewer flowers. The decoration on the arch can be either symmetrical or asymmetrical. The spaces between flowers can be decorated with vines, artificial greenery, ribbons, and large beads.
Table decoration for young people
The newlyweds' table is the main place in the hall. During the celebration, all attention is focused on it, so the decoration must be special. The decor should match the overall wedding theme and color scheme. You also need to take into account the temperature and lighting in the newlyweds’ area, based on which the types of flowers are selected.
You should not place tall or bulky compositions on the table. They will interfere with the newlyweds’ communication with each other and guests.
You can take several ideas as a basis for decorating the table:
- Garlands on the tablecloth.
- It will look spectacular if the newlyweds’ table is sprinkled randomly or in the shape of a heart with rose petals. Moreover, it will be better if they have different shades.
- Low bouquets in low vases. Large flower buds can be separated from the stems and placed to float in glass dishes.
- You can hang several flower balls above the table. They look very romantic and enliven the space.
- The wall behind the table is decorated in accordance with the style of the room.
- If the celebration is held outdoors, for example, in a garden, it is worth placing several flowerpots with plants next to the newlyweds’ table.
When decorating, do not forget about moderation. To make the composition look harmonious, you need to combine large and lush buds with the simple texture of the tablecloth material and laconic serving.
Decorating tables and chairs for guests
It is appropriate to place small vases with compact flowers on guest tables. It can also be wicker baskets with flowers, fruits, willow branches. The backs of the chairs can be decorated with small garlands, and the composition can also be fixed on the back of the seat.
There may be candelabra on the tables; in this case, it is recommended to replace bouquets in vases with decorating candlesticks.
Colored weddings are popular when predominantly one shade is used in the decoration. In this case, guest tables can be decorated with flowers of the chosen tone to focus attention on them.
When decorating a themed wedding with flowers, you should focus on the main theme of the celebration. The flowers themselves can be anything, but containers and stands need to be kept in accordance with the theme. Floral arrangements can be placed in glass bottles, wicker baskets, tin cans, etc.
Decorating walls and windows
The decoration of the walls and windows of the wedding hall is the main filling of the festive atmosphere. Floral decor should be in harmony with the design of individual zones and islands.
At the same time, florist-decorators must take into account the layout of the room. The design of the banquet hall will depend on the design style. The decor of walls and windows looks inappropriate when choosing minimalism. Window openings are often decorated with garlands of flowers, decorative arches, and single compositions on curtains or window sills.
Decorating a room with flowers implies balance. Too many floral decorations will overload the interior. It is better to use minimal decoration, but complement it with balloons, ribbons, and sparkles.
For a wedding in a rustic style, you should definitely combine flowers with fabric, burlap, twine, and sewing. Minimalism in design allows for compositions of paper flowers. These can be huge wall panels with solid colors to match the walls or tablecloths.

Photozone
Decorating a photo zone with flowers should also not be overloaded. It could be:
- A large stand filled with large artificial flowers or a “carpet” of small real ones.
- A chalk board with flower garlands around the perimeter, and baskets with dried flowers, fresh flowers, and fruits on the floor next to it.
- Don't forget about evening shots. To get spectacular photos, the photo zone can be decorated with flower arrangements with hidden lighting (garlands, LEDs, neon signs). But in this case it is better to use artificial inflorescences.
- Swing decorated with flowers, ribbons, glowing garlands.
It is better to choose flowers for the photo zone that are not too bright. If this contradicts the concept of the wedding, it is worth choosing contrasting flowers, for example, if the celebration is in blue tones, the photo zone can be decorated using white or cream buds.
Bouquet and boutonniere for newlyweds
The main decoration of the wedding is the bride. Therefore, special attention is paid to her bouquet. When choosing, it is important to take into account the general wedding theme, the style of the dress and the girl’s personal preferences.
Also, the format of the bouquet will depend on the time of year:
- In summer, it is appropriate to use compositions based on wildflowers or peonies.
- In winter, it is better to give preference to roses, lilies and orchids.
- In spring, it is better to make a bouquet of lilies of the valley, tulips or daffodils.
- In autumn it is appropriate to use dahlias and gerberas.
The basis is a frame (wire, porta bouquet or stems). Also, the flowers that are used in the bouquet can be duplicated in the bride’s hairstyle and used as an element of a hairpin, wreath, or headband.
The copy of the bouquet that the bride throws to her bridesmaids is made from lifeless flowers.
According to the shape, the bouquets of the main hero of the occasion are of the following types:
- Round.
- Teardrop-shaped.
- Waterfall.
- Biedermeier.
- American style.
- Vegetative style.
The groom's boutonniere, despite its simplicity, is no less important than the bride's bouquet. It is a small bouquet attached to the lapel of the jacket that makes the groom’s image elegant and sophisticated. Usually a boutonniere is a miniature copy of the bride's bouquet. But it can also be made in a custom design, but using the same colors. You can also use a solo flower for the boutonniere, the most prominent one in the entire wedding composition, or use a repeating floral motif.

So, let's move on to a step-by-step consideration of options for decorating the hall. Most often, two tall vases with large flowers are placed at the entrance , which will immediately put guests in a solemn mood with their luxurious, festive look.
These can be floor vases, or compositions on small columns, tables or forged stands.
Most restaurants have flower stands already installed at the entrance to the banquet hall; all that remains is to order the plants themselves for them.
The average price for such beauty fluctuates around 4-5 thousand rubles , more precise figures depend on the florist company and the plant varieties used. Most often, door decoration is limited to this, but you can also use garlands or small wall bouquets.
Newlyweds table decoration
A classic element on the podium table is an oblong, low arrangement of flowers that spans about 1.5 meters of the front edge of the table.
Large floral arches are often placed behind the newlyweds’ chairs, which attract a lot of attention and are an excellent backdrop for photographs..
But many modern designers do without these usual symbols of a wedding celebration, replacing the arches with hearts of flowers, and the composition on the table with individual plants located along the edge of the tablecloth or in the form of cascading bouquets.

No matter what anyone says, but first of all, a wedding is a holiday that belongs to two hearts and souls, now connected for life. Therefore, you need to pay a lot of attention to them, to make the atmosphere and holiday for them the most comfortable and fun, as well as beautiful. An incredible dress with lace and a veil for the bride, a perfectly fitting suit for the groom, lively and satisfied guests, as well as wedding arrangements for the table of the newlyweds and not only, this is what turns dull get-togethers into a wonderful holiday, which is undoubtedly what every person strives for.
Important
If you have a vague idea of how to work with flowers, which of them are combined, and which are better not to be used at all in one bouquet, and you also have problems with design skills, then it is better to delegate the responsibility of drawing up compositions to the tables of guests at the wedding, and already especially for the newlyweds, real professional florists.
The main table of the holiday is exactly the place where the bride and groom, the future happy family, will be all the time, until the end of the celebration, and therefore it must be decorated accordingly. This means that this table should constantly attract admiring glances from other guests, intrigue, pamper, and please the eye. The more beautiful the composition is set on the newlyweds’ table, the more wonderful the whole banquet will be; this has already been tested by more than one couple.

- Naturally, you need to think about and assume everything, choose and prepare in advance, so that on the last day you don’t run around like mad, looking for the right bud or ribbon, choosing compositions for the wedding table, photos of which were not agreed upon in advance. However, preparing such an unusual flower bouquet in advance will also not work, since in two weeks or even five days the fresh flowers will simply wither and have a deplorable appearance.
- Do not also forget that decorating tables for a wedding with flowers implies the presence of beautiful, luxurious tablecloths, with which the floral arrangements must be in complete harmony. Moreover, this does not mean at all that the tablecloth should match the color of the selected plant buds; they should harmonize, interact and create a festive atmosphere.

- It is worth experimenting and combining the most unusual and seemingly different flowers so that the wedding compositions on the table look exclusive and original.
- For such purposes, you can use not only the fresh flowers themselves, but also the beauty of fabrics, satin and brocade ribbons, burning romantic candles, stands with fresh fruits and berries, as well as other decorative elements.
Flower arrangements on the walls
An excellent way to decorate the walls and columns of a banquet hall is with long garlands of leaves and flowers.
And although this design option covers large areas of the room, in the end it is quite economical, since each element does not require so many plants and their cost is not very high.
Tips for creating a composition of fresh flowers
Many couples, when the question of decoration arises in confusion, they ask themselves the main question - how to decorate their wedding tables with fresh flowers. It’s worth, of course, watching more than one video of the master class, rehearsing, and in the end you’ll get a real masterpiece. Florists, in turn, help the newlyweds with little tips:
- The banquet hall is decorated with flowers the day before the holiday.

Bouquets on guests' tables
During the celebration, guests will spend most of their time at the tables, so special attention must be paid to their decoration. It is important not only to choose beautiful plants, but also to choose the right vases for them . There is a lot to take into account here - the size of the table, the table setting, and the overall style of the wedding.
Typically, such bouquets are placed either in tall vessels on thin transparent legs, so that the bouquet itself is above the eye level of those sitting, or in completely flat vases, which also will not interfere with communication.
Unusual options
An interesting design idea is wreaths and flower balls that are hung on the ceilings, niches and chandeliers of the hall . Such decorations can be used both together with garlands and separately, because in themselves they are a sufficient decorative element.
For exotic lovers, an excellent option would be to place deep vases in the form of small pools filled with aquatic plants and flowers around the banquet hall. Many florist companies offer to decorate dishes and glasses with flowers (how to decorate wedding glasses with flowers with your own hands?), as well as a stand for a wedding cake.

When are paper compositions appropriate?
Decorating weddings with large flowers, usually artificial, is appropriate at any time of the year. Compositions are constructed in advance and used several times.

Some brides prefer to make a duplicate bouquet out of paper, which they will then throw to their unmarried friends. This way, the girl who caught the bouquet will keep it longer and will remind her of an important event.
