The Art of Understated Elegance: Wedding Decor Highlights

Capturing Wedding Floral Decorations

Wedding floral decoration is undoubtedly one of the most distinctive aspects of any celebration. I absolutely love discovering beautifully decorated venues where the reception will take place, and admiring the immense effort the couple and/or wedding planner has poured into it. Indeed, it takes considerable effort, not only to envision and choose the decoration but also to execute it flawlessly.

Join me in discovering some of the most beautiful and subtle wedding decorations I’ve had the privilege to photograph.

Pure White: The Quintessence of Elegance

Pure white décor is one of my absolute favorites – it’s the quintessence of elegance.

The florists shared, “We worked with white peonies, thistles, craspedia (yellow balls), ferns, moss, bare stems, scabious… in short, wildflowers wild enough to give a very natural look, associated with old brown apothecary bottles and many vintage objects. The newlyweds loved vintage items; they often went to flea markets and discovered treasures. They wanted to convey this ancient and wild side through the decoration as well. For table decorations, we chose himmelis. The menu also featured rosemary sprigs.”

This style truly embodies simplicity, yet it’s so chic that despite “only” white flowers and a few green leaves, it looks absolutely beautiful. You can see the charm in the chair decorations with hydrangeas.

Vintage wooden furniture pairs perfectly with this pastel floral décor, creating a harmonious and very delicate look. White candles and glass vases complete the setting, maintaining that elegant simplicity.

Peach Pastel: Delicate and Stylish Wedding Decorations

Adding a few more colors, we still maintain that refined, non-ostentatious decorative approach with peach and sunset hues. This touch of orange looks incredibly beautiful in Haussmann-style rooms, known for their richly ornamented interiors. Here, too, simplicity is highly desired to avoid overwhelming the unique decor of such spaces.

The choice of accessories is also crucial. Glass vases or jars can be replaced with lovely gold metal pots, introducing a sophisticated touch without burdening the composition.

Reincorporating wood in the saucers creates an ideal blend of styles. The peach rose is the dominant flower here. Even the fireplace and chair complement these warm pastel shades perfectly.ania kompozycji.

The Magic of Color: A Refined Rainbow

The art of mixing and matching colors can be challenging, but here, the floral decoration is truly magnificent. This composition is far from overloaded; on the contrary, it’s a refined rainbow of colors. Every detail, every flower, and every accessory has its place, creating a truly magical ensemble.

In this display, we see orange and pink roses, blue hydrangeas, green eucalyptus leaves, purple agapanthus, and dahlias. It’s a festival of beautiful plants accompanied by rose gold and gold accessories. I simply love it!
