A Green Wedding is a Green Celebration!
It is the perfect way to add a touch of class and romance to your wedding, to bring a sense of freshness and occasion to the day without the cost of a complicated floral arrangement.
Plants have presence. They are known to make people happy. What is not as well known is that they can create features that the architecture of your venue may lack.
You may have heard the motto "presentation is everything". This is undoubtedly true on your wedding day! This is your day - the one day where you and your loved one have a chance to present your venue just the way you want it!
Whether you are after traditional or contemporary wedding plants, if you wish to create a dream wedding that is true to your vision, don't hesitate to contact Spencer Wilson. Spencer's gardening nous can help you make the right decisions on how to make the most of your marriage or reception areas. Just advise Spencer on: where the wedding will take place which colours are most predominant what your wedding theme is.
THEMES
If you haven't yet thought of a theme, the choices are many and varied and could include:
- Spring theme
- Winter theme
- Autumnal coloured theme
- Summery theme
- Cultural or exotic - for example a touch of the Orient
- Vintage or old fashioned
- Country estate theme or a theme from a historical period.
The choices are only as endless as your imagination!
COLOURS
As for colours, Spencer's plants will work in with your colour scheme:
- For White - you may want roses or newly budded gardenias.
- For Cream - gardenias or stephanotis are ideal.
- For Red - go for roses or offset the vibrancy with the leaf of the lillypilly.
- For Green - explore the different shades and tones of green in the different leaves.
- For other colours - just ask Spencer!
PRACTICALITIES
Hiring plants on your wedding day is not only an eco-friendly solution, it is highly practical. If you wish to create an outside hallway effect, screen off an area in your venue, or fill or highlight spaces you can do so very elegantly with the right plant.
Many brides wish to bring the fragrance and freshness of a garden to their venue, whether it is indoors or out - and in any season. Remember: the success of any occasion depends on your venue being presented just the way you want it.
Spencer will assist you to achieve your aims with what you want at your venue.
