Planning your wedding usually starts with the must-haves — the bridal bouquet, ceremony decor, and centerpieces. But what about the special details, like a welcome sign, chandelier decor, or cake flowers? Are they really worth it? Today, we’re sharing our most popular finishing touches, why couples love them, and how they can instantly elevate the look and feel of your day. By the end, you’ll know exactly which special details are worth including in your dream wedding!
Welcome Sign Decor: Set the Tone
Wedding welcome signs are one of the very first details your guests will see, so why not make it memorable? You might be surprised, but this element is often overlooked by couples. It may feel like a small detail, but it makes a huge first impression.
Whether you choose a lush floral arrangement at the base of your “welcome to our wedding” sign or a fresh greenery garland draped across the top, this delicate touch instantly makes guests feel like they’re stepping into something special. Even a subtle touch of blooms goes a long way.
Why you’ll love it? Decorating your welcome sign with flowers is an easy way to set the tone and create a beautiful entrance to your wedding.
Seating Chart Flowers: Create a Photo-Worthy Display
Your wedding seating chart can be more than just a guide for guests — it can also be a stunning part of your decor! As guests naturally gather to find their names and table assignments, flower arrangements will instantly transform an ordinary display into a photo-worthy space.
Some of our favorite seating chart ideas include scattered fresh rose petals or tall flower arrangements on stands. For a memorable seating chart, consider using bud vases that double as party favors your guests can take home! If you have a unique vision, talk to your florist, and together you can dream up the perfect flowers for a seating chart.
Why you’ll love it? Flowers turn your seating chart into more than a list of names — they make this essential space an inviting, eye-catching piece of your celebration.
Chandelier Flowers: A Luxurious Touch
If you’re looking to wow your guests, chandelier flowers are a must! Hanging florals instantly create a breathtaking reception while highlighting your venue’s features — especially if you have high ceilings or a rustic setting.
Long-stem blooms and natural greenery are perfect for draping across chandeliers. These beautiful flowers add depth and texture to any space. Did we mention that it looks stunning in photos? Don’t just take our word for it; the photos speak for themselves.
Why you’ll love it? Chandelier decor isn’t something you see at every wedding, which makes this an easy choice to create a unique and memorable celebration.
Cake Flowers: Turning Your Cake Into a Centerpiece
Your wedding cake can look just as beautiful as it tastes! By adding just a touch of flowers, your wedding cake will turn into another showstopping centerpiece for your big day.
We always recommend choosing blooms that complement your bouquet and centerpieces. This will create a cohesive look and tie your entire reception together. From cascading blooms to simple tiered roses, fresh cake flowers will elevate even the simplest cake.
Why you’ll love it? Fresh flowers turn your wedding cake from a classic dessert into a sweet and memorable centerpiece.
