How to Style Your Botanical Wedding

Here are a few more ways to bring your botanical wedding to life…

The invitations are your first opportunity to set the tone for your wedding so be sure to tie them into your theme. There are a variety of creative techniques that'll be perfect for helping you embrace a little botany – from foliage features to fresh whites.

First up: wow everyone with a little watercolour!

Whether you want to create monstera, ferns, palm patterns or something with a floral flourish, just pick up your brush and start experimenting. You can find inspiration and dabble with a variety of designs before choosing your favourite.

If you're keen to put your own stamp on your wedding stationery, why not save time on writing out every detail and keep it consistent? Wedding stamps are a great way to capture all of the beauty of handmade crafts without the hard work of repeatedly writing out or illustrating your invitation.

We have a selection of stamps available that are perfect for botanical wedding stationery – from ferns and foliage to your all-important info.

Whether you use brush markers, calligraphy pens or a foiling machine, your lettering designs will leave you with an impressive invitation that your guests will treasure. Get your practising in now!

Greenery is the shade of the moment. A yellow-green reminiscent of the first days of spring, it is symbolic of new beginnings and renewal – perfect for your big day. So, on that note: out go the vibrant vases of multi-colour florals and in come contemporary terrariums filled with green…

Another way to create unique centrepieces is to transform our clear glass eggs and baubles into mini terrariums. You can hang these from garlands or from a decorative mini tree.

If you're celebrating a spring or Christmas wedding, it's easy to make them seasonal – but you don't have to!

For a custom-made summery twist, you could create your own DIY paper plant pots to add refreshing decoration to the centre of your tables!

Complement your tables with botanical place settings too…

The cutting of the cake is one of the biggest moments of your wedding so, naturally, you want the cake in question to be a showstopper. The simplicity of the botanical theme needn't stop you from creating – and, later, devouring – a spectacular wedding cake.

Covering your choice of delicious sponge with a thick coating of white icing and decorative green flourishes combines chic minimalism with a touch of nature.

The hottest new trend that falls into the theme of the day is the naked cake. Stripping things back, the naked cake has an exposed look to it that gives you a fun and fresh alternative to traditional fare.

As well as cakes, add other quirky and delicious details to your botanical wedding! Check out these adorable cactus macaroon bites for inspiration.

Prepare to transform your venue! Combining nature and minimalism is key. This bright and airy theme is an all-seasons kind of style, perfect for adapting to suit any time of year with light and dark wood features or seasonal greenery.

Wreaths, garlands, decorative letters and more will all help you take any old room to a wedding wonderland.

Add personal touches to your big day with handpicked letters decorated to suit your theme. Spell out your names, a message like “Just Married” or something entirely unique if you're feeling creative!

And finally, in lieu of floral arrangements, vine garlands are the answer. They're easy to display in a range of ways, instantly brighten up the space effortlessly and remain in keeping with your hues of green.
