Best Wedding Flower Wall Ideas

Wedding flower walls are totally en vogue. And it's no wonder—a luxurious wall installation made entirely of flowers is a spectacular way to create a focal point at your wedding. The best part? A flower wall can work anywhere: as a gorgeous backdrop for your vow exchange, as an escort-card display, at the reception behind a delicious spread of desserts, or any other place to which you'd like to draw attention at your wedding.

Flower walls are a great way to bring the outside indoors, especially if you and your partner love Mother Nature but are hosting an indoor celebration.

A flower wall can also serve double duty if the ceremony and reception are being held at the same venue. First, have your florist create a towering flower wall to serve as the backdrop for your ceremony. Then, during cocktail hour, flip the space and position your sweetheart table in the same spot. Or, have the flower wall function as a photo booth backdrop or selfie station at the reception. Either way, you're pretty much guaranteed spectacular wedding photos all night long.

Want to find some inspiration for a floral wall at your ceremony? Ahead, 20 of the most stunning wedding flower walls and installations we've seen at real weddings.
