One of the simplest ways to create a beautiful wedding ceremony or reception is to use bright, mismatched blooms against decor in a neutral palette. Make sure the overall base of your reception is a blank canvas of earthy colours and textures like raw wood tables, rusted iron, off-white linen or hessian, and use flowers to add a dramatic burst of colour.  

Keep the look fresh and bold with oversized bunches of flowers placed in vases or furniture such as wheelbarrows, drums, or rusted buckets. A great look for your ceremony is to place two giant bunches of bright flowers at at the start your aisle, or several bunches in rustic buckets to line the aisle. Keep the rest of your decor really simple using vintage wooden chairs and a registry table in old recycled timber. 

Choose blooms in warm vibrant hues ranging from deep plum, red wine/cherry, rich orange, sunny yellows and fresh whites (Ranunculas, Poppies & Roses are the perfect flower for this look).
