A flower wall is one of the most striking backdrops you can create for a wedding. From ceremony arches and reception photo walls to table centrepiece backdrops, flower walls add a touch of luxury to any venue. In this guide we cover the best flower wall ideas for weddings and how to choose the right style for your big day.
Why Choose a Flower Wall for Your Wedding?
Flower walls have become a staple of modern wedding design for good reason. They create an instant wow factor, work brilliantly as a photo backdrop, and can be tailored to match virtually any colour scheme. Unlike fresh flowers, our artificial silk flower walls maintain their look throughout the day and can be kept as a lasting memento or repurposed for your home or business afterwards.
Classic Wedding Flower Wall Colours
The most popular choices for weddings are soft, romantic palettes that complement traditional wedding dress whites and ivories:
- Ivory and blush - our Ivory Blush Flower Wall is a perennial favourite for ceremonies
- Soft pink and ivory - elegant and timeless, works with most venue colour schemes
- White and ivory foliage - a classic choice that suits both rustic barn venues and grand hotel ballrooms
- Rose garden - for a more romantic, garden party feel
Bold and Modern Wedding Flower Wall Ideas
Couples with a more contemporary aesthetic often opt for something with a little more drama:
- Hot pink - particularly popular for outdoor summer weddings and for creating a vibrant photo backdrop
- Purple tropical - works beautifully at evening receptions with warm lighting
- Green foliage with whites - a fresh, botanical look that has grown in popularity with the rise of sustainable wedding trends
How Many Panels Do You Need for a Wedding Flower Wall?
The standard wedding backdrop is 8ft x 8ft, which requires 24 of our 60cm x 40cm panels. If you want a wider wall for a top table or ceremony arch, simply order more panels. Use our panel calculator to work out exactly how many you need for your chosen dimensions.
Flower Wall with Stand vs Wall-Mounted
For weddings held at venues where you cannot fix anything to the walls, our flower walls with telescopic stand are the ideal solution. The stand is freestanding, easy to assemble and fully adjustable. For couples who want to keep their flower wall at home after the wedding, a wall-mounted installation is a great option.
Can You Hire a Flower Wall for a Wedding?
Many of our customers purchase their flower wall specifically to hire it out as a business after their wedding, or to sell on. Buying rather than hiring often works out significantly cheaper, and you get to keep the wall permanently. Our complete flower wall packages start from a great value price point for a full 8ft x 8ft display.
