A ceremony backdrop can be anything from a flower wall<\/a>, an arch, or man-made structure such as a pavilion or deck. The sky’s the limit when it comes to choosing<\/a> and decorating<\/a> your backdrop.<\/p>\n

A welcome sign<\/h2>\n

Make your friends feel welcome with a sign<\/a> situated at the entrance to your ceremony<\/a>. Something along the lines of ‘pick a seat, not a side, as we’re all family once the knot is tied’ is a popular choice of words.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, you can simply write a welcome message such as, ‘welcome to the wedding of Lynn and Taylor’.<\/p>\n

Flower bar<\/h2>\n

You’ve heard of lolly buffets<\/a> and dessert tables<\/a>, but flower<\/a> bars are the next big thing. A flower bar is essentially an array of fresh flowers sprawled out on a table so that guests<\/a> may peruse the blooms and create their very own take-home bouquets.<\/p>\n

Guests can even use a flower bar to create their own flower crowns, corsages, or use the petals as confetti. Additionally, your flower bar can serve as your bomboniere too!<\/p>\n

Beautiful styling and decorations<\/h2>\n
