Wedding Decoration Using Flower Garlands

Flowers hold a place of prestige in Indian weddings. They are a part of the decor, of the wedding trousseau and of various ceremonies such as the exchanging of varmalas, etc. Florals have been associated with certain values and have specific connotations that are established in our culture. Flower garlands are already pivotal for traditional weddings. Read on to see how they can also be used for marriage decorations to freshen up your wedding venue and add a feeling of exuberance to the occasion.

Strings of fresh jasmine flowers can be used to create a floral curtain that can be used for pathway or backdrop decoration. While these lovely white blossoms are enough on their own, additions of carved metallic bells add a traditional yet whimsical touch to the entire setup.

This one’s a slight modification of the aforementioned veil of flowers. Backed by drapes in a lovely contrasting shade, this gorgeous backdrop is lined on top with exotic greens that are truly captivating. To throw in a bit more of color, you can add florals in brilliant red randomly in the midst of the gleaming whites.

This backdrop makes creative use of flower decoration. The color palette of red, green and white is a classic. In an eye-catching arrangement, the central portion has floral strings upon which is a silhouette made of Lord Ganesha. This is bordered on both sides by alternating sections of flowers arranged in squares, floowed by red drapes lightly adorned with thick looping white flower garlands.

Marigold decoration for weddings is pretty popular as these signature wedding flowers are considered auspicious. The lively yellow and orange colors are ideal for decorating an outdoor venue. The garlands can be wrapped around the stage or used for mandap decoration in various patterns, or laid on the ground in beautiful rangoli-like shapes.

Alternating strings of orange and yellow marigolds can be draped over and wrapped around wooden frames for entrance decor. You can balance the color with some addition of greens or other blooms.
