Hanging flower installation ideas for your celebration

Hanging flowers always get us excited, and if you ask us, more couples should look up when it comes to creating statement decor for weddings or anyone who is having a celebration. Hanging Floral Centrepieces add instant drama, make a massive impact visually (and on the budget, it must be said!) but they really add the wow factor to the reception of the party. So different from the usual table arrangement or centrepiece ideas, this trend of hanging fresh floral installations, garlands, and chandeliers is the stuff dreams are made of.

Individual Hanging Centrepieces

‍Starting off with the most accessible, hanging a centrepiece above the top table or from beams in a barn or a marquee is a fantastic way to add visual impact to the room. Common options include wreaths, hanging planters, birdcages and lanterns all adorned with blooms hung at different levels. You could even limit to one or two over a cake table or the top table to create a main focal point and to keep costs down.

Hanging Floral Garlands and Swags

‍We love this swing style, suspended shelf structure draped with florals and greenery, hanging over the table for an unexpected floating centrepiece. A great alternative to table centrepieces as it will free up space for your guests for dining and chatting with other guests - lights are often included so these statement florals don't make the table too dark.

Hanging Floral Installations

‍If you love flowers and want to splash out, this incredible floral-covered ceiling installation idea will truly impress your guests. The view from below, looking straight up at a sea of flowers and foliage would be breathtaking (and also smell amazing!) It would also be a beautiful idea as a ceremony backdrop. Wisteria, Cherry Blossom and Hanging Amaranthus would all be perfect for creating this look. If you do it, send us some pics!

Thinking of Hanging Floral Decor? Here are some tips!

• Hanging floral centrepieces are great for saving space on long tables.

• Has your venue got high ceilings and structures from which to hang the flowers? Barns, restaurant venues and marquees where beams or chandeliers are already in place, are ideal. Not every venue suits this kind of decor.

• The room will need to be kept cool or air-conditioned ahead of the guests arriving to stop the flowers from wilting.
