Arbor
Although arbors come in all types and sizes, florals can make any archway look even more wonderful! If you're looking to add flowers to your ceremony altar, two popular options are utilizing multiple arrangements to decorate your arbor or a full arrangement covering the entire arbor in florals! Either one will make a beautiful backdrop to say “I Do!”
Alongside the Aisle
Another area we often see flowers displayed at the ceremony is alongside the aisle. Two popular options are attaching the florals to the chairs that line the aisle or placing an arrangement of florals at the base of each chair that line the aisle. Both options not only look great but can be cost effective as well as you can reuse these arrangements to be the centerpieces on your guest tables at your reception!
With the Wedding Party
Boutonniere
Attached to the lapel of the groom and groomsmen’s suits can often be found a gorgeous boutonniere! Boutonnieres are often made utilizing a similar flower or color scheme to the bride’s bouquet, so that the look of all of the florals throughout the wedding party is seamless! **Tip: Anyone planning to wear a boutonniere should be wearing a coat or jacket. Boutonnieres don’t work on shirts!

Lei
As weddings in Hawai’i often showcase the culture of the islands, it is very popular to see leis adorned on the couple, wedding party, and even on guests at the wedding. If the groom and groomsmen are not wearing the type of attire that a boutonniere can be attached to, having them wear a lei is one alternative option to still having them wear a floral piece on the big day! Leis are also popular with the bride as well, as we often see brides wear a lei around their neck and/or a lei on their head, known as a Haku or Lei Po’o.
Corsage and Wristlet
For the mothers and grandmothers of the couple, other than leis, two popular floral options often worn by these ladies are a corsage or a wristlet. Note that for corsages, as most of them are pin-on, it’s important to consider the outfit that your mother or grandmother will be wearing to ensure that the corsage can be pinned on AND can remain on comfortably!
Bouquet
Finally of course one of the MOST popular floral items we see at weddings is a bouquet! Often held by the bride and her bridesmaids, bouquets come in all different shapes, styles, and sizes making them an area of your wedding where you can really showcase your personality!
