When you’re planning wedding decorations, do you have to use flowers? No! Of course not!
Although flowers are probably the most popular decoration due to their elegance and fragrance, there are plenty of couples who go the non-floral route and it’s perfectly acceptable to do so.
Alternatives to Floral Centerpieces
There are other ways to utilize flowers throughout your wedding, so don’t think we’re opposed to flowers, either.

If this sounds like you and you want trendy, stylish wedding decorations that aren’t flowers, you’ve come to the right place.
From non floral centerpieces like succulents, pampas grass, and potted plants to creative stacks of books and geometric terrariums, we’ve got you covered!
These examples of wedding decorations will inspire you to think outside the traditional flower box. And your wedding is going to look amazing!
