Flower Garlands (part 1)

Sunday, October 4th, 2009

Flower garlands are so versatile! They make fabulous centerpieces for long, narrow or wide tables and they decorate the chairs of the bride and groom beautifully.

Embellished with flower garlands, entryways and archways look very inviting. Staircases, window sills and the top of half-walls look stunning with such flower decorations. And they are great to brighten up the bar at any event!

Chair Decorations

Chair decorations that have been used for the ceremony are often moved to the reception.

Sometimes the Bride and Groom like a special decoration for their chairs at the reception. Whether it is a small hand-tied bouquet attached with ribbon, an initial or flower garland,  chairbacks are always a lovely touch!
