The Perfect Indoor Garden Wedding

Large sized decorative trays that can hold a floral design with candles is a pretty and eye catching display.They will show up against the greenery and can be used to accent the ceremony area. Between two and four will be needed. If real candle are not allowed, there are marvelous LED candles that are safe and look like the real thing.

I bought yards of flowing gauzy material to match my daughter's accent color and bridesmaids dresses, it was used to create a canopy as a focal point where the vows would take place. That was all the decorating necessary for the ceremony,besides the flowers for the wedding party itself.

For table centerpieces individual dish gardens with moss, some river rocks, and sprigs of flowers were centered with candles in lanterns. The groom painstakingly made the lanterns from handmade paper (purchased), and balsa wood framework. Purchased lanterns could work for those who don't feel "crafty". Glass votive holders safely contained the candle flame. The floors were strewn with rose petals from the flower girls, and the tables lighted dusted with petals, too.

An idea from a nieces wedding would work well in a conservatory setting, three simple calla lilies in clear glass vases for each table. A few sprays of bear grass to give grace and it is a simple, but showy table centerpiece.

I made special floral arrangements for the Brides table which included optic light butterflies within a low arrangement of flowers in flowerbox-like containers. I used dressy looking red metallic ones, but rustic wooden types could work just as well, or golden bronze...depending on the theme of the wedding. The fiber optics give a little fantasy light to the atmosphere.

We held the reception in a different venue, but to keep the conservatory feel to the room, I had purchased large sized orchid plants and arranged them together on a table, with large garden flower planters filled with big sprays of flowering branches and purchased florist flowers. Set up on inexpensive plaster pedestals, they gave lots of floral impact to the room. The planters were duct taped to the pedestals for stability, and then the tape was covered with Spanish moss. the planters were the lightweight resin which were filled with balls of chicken wire to hold the arranged flowers.

If the reception is held within a conservatory setting, it is probably unnecessary to have the extra flowers arrangements, the table centerpieces should be enough.
