7 Ways to Add Garland to Your Wedding

Flower costs getting the best of your wedding budget? We hear you! But don’t worry. Garlands are taking over the wedding world—and for good reason. They can add a floral feel to reception tables, serve as accents in otherwise plain spaces, and create boho vibes in practically any venue. Check out our favorite ways to make them work for your “I dos.”

    Welcome your guests to your wedding with a decked out entrance. Hang garlands or blooms over the doors to the church or reception venue. Bonus—if you leave through the same doors, you’ll have an amazing backdrop for festive exit photos.

    The aisle is often forgotten—but it can end up in a lot of pictures. Add some visual interest to an aisle runner with strand of greenery and a few statement blooms. Or hang swags of garland on the ends of church pews for just a touch of green.

    Runners are the perfect decor solution for feasting tables because they make a statement while taking up a decent amount of real estate (budget friendly!). Take your runner from pretty to unforgettable by adding a lush garland. The greens will give the table some wow while still allowing guests to talk with ease.
