Find a venue with flower beds! You can also go to a location with more greenery like a wooded area, a field, or a lush backyard. Outdoor venues host bright blooms, livening up your event and the ones long after. Your event planning clients won&#8217;t need to worry about disposing the flowers after the event. Keep in mind that flowers are seasonal\u2014even if you&#8217;re planning a destination wedding, some flowers will only bloom one month a year!<\/p>\n<p>Another great option for bringing flowers into your venue is decorate with potted plants. Just picture some cute succulents and blooming cacti adorning a dessert table or a bar cart. And if you want to add dimension and height to your decor, opt for hanging baskets. Pairing hanging baskets with other low pots ensures your space doesn\u2019t feel under-decorated. There\u2019s nothing worse than the fantasy of an event stopping at waist-height. Just be careful not to block guests\u2019 line of sight or have baskets hanging in the way. No one wants to spend their evening with a sore head and an outfit covered in dirt!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DIY_floral_background_structure\"><\/span>DIY floral background structure<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As an event coordinator, you&#8217;re expected to keep up with the latest trends on Instagram and Pinterest. And if you have been, you&#8217;ve probably seen those <em>enormous<\/em> floral walls popular in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/online-event-courses\/luxury-wedding-and-event-planning-specialization\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">luxury event planning<\/a>. While they are stunning additions to any event, they&#8217;re also extremely expensive and wasteful with all those fresh-cut blooms. Instead, DIY your own potted plant flower structure! Get a shelf or ladder and place potted plants on the shelves\/rungs. Potted ivy or other plants will hang down the side and create a flower wall effect. It can be a beautiful backdrop for photos, the ceremony, or another focal elements like the head table.<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16978\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Event-in-post-135x135-2019-07-02T112725.197.jpg\" alt=\"event coordinator training decorating event with potted plants\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Event-in-post-135x135-2019-07-02T112725.197.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Event-in-post-135x135-2019-07-02T112725.197-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Decorate_the_aisle\"><\/span>Decorate the aisle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re planning a wedding, flowers often decorate the aisle. Potted plants or small trees are a great way to kick cut flowers out of a ceremony. Propping up smaller plants on pedestals or ladders can add height to small plants. They can also be used to hide unsightly elements down the aisle.<\/p>\n<p>Consider purchasing a wire frame to sit at the head of the aisle. Then, use string lights, curtains, and potted plants to create a beautiful, living focal point. This can act as a floral arch that&#8217;ll be the center of your floral design. You won&#8217;t need to decorate every row, and everyone&#8217;s eyes will be drawn to the front\u2014where the happy couple is standing!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Centerpieces_escort_%E2%80%9Ccards%E2%80%9D_and_wedding_favors\"><\/span>Centerpieces, escort &#8220;cards&#8221;, and wedding favors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We&#8217;ve been going on and on about using potted plants in your event decor.

Choose a vase that is slightly larger than the pot to match the color and theme of the evening. You don\u2019t have to choose a traditional vase. Consider metal buckets, rustic boxes, or gluing rope around the outside of the pot. It all depends on your theme! If your event has fewer centerpieces than guests, you can hold a draw or create a game where the winner gets to take home the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2015\/09\/infographic-an-easy-guide-to-centerpieces\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">beautiful floral centerpieces<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>If you want something else as your main centerpiece (or you want to add even more floral elements into the mix), purchase tiny potted plants to use as escort cards. Have a small tag with each guest&#8217;s name and table number in each plant so they can take them to their seat at the table. Then, they can bring them home as party favors!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bridal_bouquet_alternatives\"><\/span>Bridal bouquet alternatives<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019re not about to suggest that your bride walk down the aisle holding a 15-pound dirty flower pot that\u2019s going to ruin her dress and tie up her hands. But, there are options to get around having cut flowers as a hand-piece. People have become <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hitched.ie\/wedding-planning\/flowers\/7-alternative-bridal-bouquets_683.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">extremely creative<\/a> with their bouquets over the years. From artichokes and oranges to buttons and feathers, there are so many different things that your bride can hold as she walks down the aisle. People have even held puppies instead of flowers!
