5 Floral Statement Pieces Everyone Needs at Their Seattle Wedding

With so much wedding inspiration at our fingertips between social media and Pinterest, it can be overwhelming to decide what floral designs are important to you and your partner. That's where we come in. As a seasoned wedding florist, we've put together a list of five statement floral pieces that will wow your guests and create dreamy ceremony and reception spaces. From ceremony features to reception installations, these pieces are the ones to invest in.

1. Ceremony Feature Design

Your wedding ceremony sets the tone for the entire day, which is why it's important to have a stunning backdrop for your vows. Consider creating a ceremony feature design with lush florals and greenery that tie in with your overall wedding theme. Some popular options include adorned arches, flower-covered chuppahs, or modern freestanding arbors. This statement piece will not only make a big impact on your guests, but also serve as a beautiful backdrop in your wedding photos.

2. Large Bar Arrangement

We all know your guests are sure to spend a lot of time at the bar. Make a statement with a large bar arrangement that not your guests will notice. There are a ton of ways to tackle this design depending on the bar setup and wedding aesthetic. Two of our go-to design solutions are creating a tall installation in an urn vase. Another option we love creating is a lush, oversized arrangement with a “no-vase look” that spills over the bar and can be incorporated with custom signage if desired.

3. Lush Florals on the Head Table or Sweetheart Table

The head table or sweetheart table, depending on your preference, is a major focal point of your reception. Make it truly shine with lush florals that bring life and color to the space. You can create a lush floral runner that goes down the center of the table or opt for classic compote arrangements between table settings. Similarly, a cascading runner that drapes off the sweetheart table is a showstopper. Either way, the head table or sweetheart table is a great place to make a statement with your florals.

4. Hanging Installation at the Reception

A hanging installation is a great way to add drama and impact to your reception space. Hanging florals are all the rage right now for 2023 and 2024 weddings—we’re seeing this trend everywhere. This installation could be designed on a chandelier-like structure, a cascading hanging floral arrangement, or even a canopy of blooms that covers the dance floor. Even a more modest ceiling installation over the bar or sweetheart table will be memorable.

5. Fireplace Mantle

If your wedding reception is taking place in a venue with a fireplace, consider adding a floral installation to the mantle. This is a great way to draw attention to the fireplace and create a focal point in the room. Working with existing features of a beautiful venue such as a fireplace will be a natural addition to your wedding flowers. Embrace these beautiful features of your venue and add flowers!
