French Country-themed weddings transport you and your guests to the picturesque landscapes of the region. Imagine the venue on your special day decorated as if it was a centuries-old chateau surrounded by vineyards, and savoring the flavors of Parisian cuisine on a beautiful springtime afternoon. At Marco Island Weddings in Marco Island, Florida, we invite you to embark on a wedding journey where romance meets rustic elegance, and every detail is a nod to the timeless charm of France.
Install Dramatic Floral Arches Overlooking the Vineyard
Floral arches add color, drama, and beauty that harmonize with the energy of the French countryside. They also serve as the focal point during the ceremony and a luxe background for photographs of the happy couple on their big day. Opt for bohemian roses and pampas grasses or blooms and accent flowers that pay homage to fields of lavender. Finish by adding greenery that cascades, a nod to the grapevines that flourish in French vineyards.
Coordinate Springtime Wedding Bouquets and Dresses
Whether the bride is wearing a traditional white gown or donning a dress of a different color, coordinate springtime blooms with elegant ensembles. Roses, hydrangeas, and peonies are excellent statement flowers for a sophisticated Parisian bouquet. Complement them with greenery such as eucalyptus, stock flowers, or brunia berries to round out the floral tableau. Don’t be afraid to go bold with hues if it’s what your heart desires – and what looks best with the dress.
Set Centerpieces on Outdoor Chateau Reception Tables
An outdoor reception in the warm French sun is idyllic because of the beautiful outdoor scenery, and luxe floral centerpieces can take the celebration to the next level. Reflect the sky with pale blue table linens underneath vases of dahlias, roses, and elegant greenery such as sword ferns. Incorporate accent flowers like blue thistle to add drama and contrast, as well as meadow-like wildness that mimics the fields of the French countryside.
Adorn Seating and Other Architectural Elements with Flowers
Seating, door frames, planters, and table edges shine when adorned with colorful flower displays. Add custom arrangements to these areas to make the venue feel organic, bountiful, and lush. This is another excellent opportunity to incorporate purple blooms that bring to mind the endless lavender fields of the French countryside, a hallmark of the region. Purple statice or baby’s breath work well as accent flowers in these arrangements to add texture and volume.
Decorate Parisian Cakes and Desserts with Fresh Blooms
A French Country-themed wedding is a delicious opportunity to adorn cakes and desserts with fresh, fragrant flowers. It’s also common to use bicycle symbolism in the cake decor, a nod to the preferred mode of transportation in the area. Or, you can place lush peony arrangements strategically throughout the dessert serving area in colors that highlight the confections. For a whimsical twist, serve macarons in pastel tones paired with bright blossoms.
At Marco Island Weddings, we’re eager to transform your wedding venue into an homage to the French countryside on a warm springtime afternoon. Regardless of your location, we can bring the beauty and charm of the region to you with elegant flower arrangements.
