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: at the ceremony entrance, 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.
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.
Scroll through for 22 of the most stunning wedding flower walls and installations we've seen at real weddings.

Add visual interest to your venue with white flowers and greenery (plus palm trees if you're getting married somewhere tropical). We love how this couple incorporated white runners and cushioned bamboo chairs for a clean, modern look. Bonus: After the ceremony, guests will be able to use the floral backdrop for fun photos.

Create oasis-like corners at your cocktail or reception lounge areas by having your florist encircle the sides of chairs with flowers winding up and along the closest wall. Not only will it be totally unexpected, but it'll give you a picturesque spot for wedding snapshots.
Wildflower Arch and Aisle-Lining Blooms

Looking to transform your ceremony space and wow guests at the same time? Work with your floral designer to create a secret garden–inspired setting for your vow exchange.

Greenery Wall With Hanging Flowers

Just a reminder that there's no limit to your creativity. Unlike any flower wall we've seen, this installation consists of a greenery base and hanging flowers in all shades of tonal colors.

Want an installation but can't afford a full wall of flowers? We love this modern take. Have your florist color block flowers that wind up and around a welcome sign so this prettiness is the first thing your guests see upon arrival.

Want something dramatic for your ceremony that mimics the effects of a flower wall but isn't one? Try a circular ceremony structure (representative of eternity) instead of a traditional arch. Throw in a greenery-lined aisle and vintage chairs for a rustic-chic aesthetic.
Bring a Courtyard to Life With Trees and Floral Towers
