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.

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.

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.
