The Prettiest of Ways to Add Pressed Flowers to Your Wedding Day

Inspiration

8 Jan

Adaptable for any season, pressed flowers are a natural and delicate way to add a personal touch to your wedding day. Whether they match your wedding flowers or are picked from a loved one’s flower garden, it’s such a lovely way to add sentiment.

We’ve scoured the internet to find some of our favourite examples of pressed flowers in action to get you inspired.

1. Decorating your wedding cake and canapés

Placed gently around the edge of a simple buttercream wedding cake, pressed flowers bring an ethereal quality to your wedding cake. If you fancy taking things a step further, incorporate them into your other sweet treats and canapés for a theme that runs throughout your wedding day.

2. Use them within table settings

Encapsulated within sheets of acrylic, pressed flowers can be used in a number of different ways. One of our favourites is them being used for table settings, be they place cards or the menu for that particular person. Get creative with your calligraphy skills and a set of sharpies and you’re away.

3. Make a statement with your table plan

Create impact with your table plan by incorporating pressed flowers into the layout. You can either create it as one fully pressed sheet with the place cards overlaid, or tuck them within individual frames as seen over on Ruffled Blog. There’s options in abundance, so it’s worth taking a look at how pressed flowers have been used at weddings in general to get inspired to create something unique.

Make your invitations extra special

Go the extra mile on your invitations and make them seriously special. This is especially lovely if you or your loved ones have a garden filled with beautiful blooms they wouldn’t mind you using to give that really personal touch.

5. Prettify your table numbers

Add a homemade touch to your table numbers or names with the use of pressed flowers or foliage. We particularly love the metal and glass frames for this, as whatever it is you’ve pressed can be simple placed within it and clipped closed. For the numbers, you can either get crafty with your calligraphy skills or if you’re willing to go the extra mile, purchase a Cricut machine that can cut out in vinyl anything you like, in any font or size you’d like too.

6. Incorporate them into your welcome signs

Set the tone for the rest of your wedding day decor by adding pressed flowers into your welcome signs. From the inspiration we’ve seen online, it’s best to either use a sheet of acrylic or acquire a large pretty frame as your base and go from there. We feel these would look fab placed against a background that contrasts with the prettiness of the pressed flowers.
