Wedding Decor Alternatives to Flowers

When you think of wedding decor, the first item that comes to mind is usually flowers. While flowers are beautiful, they aren’t for everyone. Whether you’re looking for something more unique, hoping to save money or maybe you want to avoid an allergy attack, in this post you’ll find lots of great decor ideas that don’t involve flowers.

Read Your Crowd

If you two are both readers or are going for a vintage theme, books are a great way to add depth to your tables. Take the opportunity to go thrifting and find books that work with your color scheme.

Share Your World

Maybe you’re having a destination wedding or you and your partner love to travel. Consider using compasses , maps or globes in the center of each table. You can get even more personal by marking some of your favorite vacation spots or places you’ve made memories.

Fruit Forward

Because fruits come in so many different colors, it’s really easy to use them as decor. Cut citrus open (bonus for fragrance!) and intersperse between greenery, or stack stone fruits ombre style in beautiful glass bowls.

Encourage guests to take some home if they want a healthy snack to eat on the road.

Show How Love Rocks

For spiritual or boho brides & grooms, crystals can be a super unique way to dress up your tables. Pair with different geometric shape candle holders to round out the look.

Details in the Fabric

Mexican blankets work wonders for an outdoor wedding. Hang on each person’s seat or use to cover the whole table. Macrame table runners make a beautiful foundation for different height candles to rest on.

Pretty Paper

Use paper fans, lanterns and mini piñatas to create extra colorful vignettes. For a big statement piece, drape streamers on a dowel and hang in a high-trafficked area.
