When it comes to event decor, though, that\u2019s just the tip of the iceberg! Now that you\u2019re comfortable helping your client design a color scheme, we\u2019re moving onto another major decor element: floral design.<\/p>\n<p>Like many people, at some point in your life you may have wondered why we pay so much for floral design. All you have to do is stick some flowers in a vase and you\u2019re done, right? Well\u2014not quite. In addition to sourcing fresh, beautiful flowers (many of which may be out of season locally), florists require training and top-notch artistry to create their stunning arrangements.<\/p>\n<p>As an event planner, you won\u2019t be arranging those flowers yourself, of course. But you will be involved in creating floral design concepts, so you\u2019ll need a working knowledge of the basics.

If you\u2019re planning a wedding, your clients will probably be looking for some standard floral arrangements: <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2015\/09\/infographic-an-easy-guide-to-centerpieces\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">centerpieces<\/a>, bouquets, and boutonnieres, for starters.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not all you can do with flowers, though. Try out some of these creative ideas for bringing blooms to your event decor!<\/p>\n<p><i><b>Floral Ice Bowls<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<p>The payoff for this simple project is incredibly beautiful. Small flowers, petals, and leaves frozen in <a href=\"http:\/\/thenaturalweddingcompany.co.uk\/blog\/2012\/12\/a-how-to-guide-to-making-frozen-flower-ice-bowls-with-seasonal-british-blooms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ice bowls<\/a> make for gorgeous table decor. Just remember that these gorgeous bowls will melt eventually, so make sure they\u2019re sitting on something that can collect the excess water. If you\u2019re using floral ice bowls to hold food or drink, you should probably nest a clear glass bowl inside\u2014unless of course the frozen petals are edible!<\/p>\n<p>Hesitant about trying the ice bowl, but still want the effect? Whip up a few batches of (edible) floral ice cubes before your clients\u2019 big event.<\/p>\n<p><i><b>Floating Wreath<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16886\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Event-in-post-135x135-2019-06-14T144758.613.jpg\" alt=\"floating floral wreath for event decor\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Event-in-post-135x135-2019-06-14T144758.613.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Event-in-post-135x135-2019-06-14T144758.613-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Does your clients\u2019 venue feature a pool or pond? If so, they can add some floral touches with a floating wreath. Once you\u2019ve created a foam core in the shape of your clients\u2019 choosing, all you have to do is attach blooms and leaves. For smaller bowls or pools, you could also add some single floating flowers for an understated element of elegance.<\/p>\n<p>Another option: take the wreath out of the pool altogether and add it to your wall decor. Any shape works, but a flowery sculpture of your clients\u2019 initials would make a perfect addition to any wedding.<\/p>\n<div style=\"overflow: auto;\">\n<div class=\"half-1\">\n<p><i><b>Floral Cakes<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<p>Just like wildflower bouquets, cakes overflowing with luxurious blooms are a definite trend this year.

Just make sure to get your clients\u2019 florist on board so you can source flowers and greenery that are grown without pesticides.<\/p>\n<p>For clients with a major sweet-tooth, try going the candied flower root instead.
