There’s something so incredibly special about low floral arrangements, and I just can’t get enough of them right now. I adore creating low luxe floral centrepieces because they offer such a fresh, modern take on floral design, and they feel so current. Whether you design a look with an all-floral design, minimal foliage and flowers, or go all out with beautifully blended Mediterranean foliage and seasonal blooms, these arrangements are nothing short of stunning.

I love them for so many reasons, and I want to share with you just a few of the ways they’ve become a favourite in my event floral work.

Versatility – A Two-in-One Floral Solution

One of the things that excites me most about low floral arrangements is how incredibly versatile they are. They can double up in a way that helps with both your ceremony and reception. Imagine your floral designs for the dinner tables also being used to line your aisle at the ceremony. Not only is that practical (and budget-friendly!), but it also adds to the beauty of the space seamlessly. You can use them to build out ceremony floral installations, too—adorning the ground with stunning flowers in a multitude of shapes and designs.

These arrangements are perfect for creating a dreamlike, effortless atmosphere wherever they go. The best part? They help stretch your investment. While they can be a bit more expensive to create initially, their versatility means you can use them across different areas of your wedding, reducing the need for additional decor like additional candles or extra floral arrangements.

Flexibility and Functionality in Design

Low arrangements offer such incredible flexibility in your wedding day’s flow. One of my absolute favourite ways to use them is on the top table. I’ve seen these gorgeous low florals used to transform the top table into something truly spectacular. Often, we take elements from the ceremony or fireplace installations and use them on the top table, right in front of the couple. It's a beautiful, cohesive way to bring your design together, and no one would even know we’ve reused the flowers because of the illusion created by expert floral design.

No matter the shape of your dinner tables—whether square, round, rectangular, or even crescent moon-shaped—low floral arrangements make every table look perfectly designed. Add a few elegant taper candles, and you’ve got a visual that’s simply breathtaking.

The Sensory Joy of Flowers

I can’t tell you how much joy I get from hearing someone comment on the fragrance of the flowers. It never gets old. During operations at a venue, I always smile when I hear a guest or a venue staff member say, “Wow! The smell in here is gorgeous—are those the flowers?” It makes me smile every single time. I know that when you and your guests walk into the room and take in that beautiful scent, it will be an unforgettable moment. It’s such a simple thing, but it's also a profound one—a scent that stays with you long after your wedding day is over.

Flowers have that magical ability to evoke emotion, and every time a guest comments on the fragrance, it reminds me why I do what I do. Your wedding will not only live on in photos and memories but in the fragrances that stay with your guests. Every time they walk past a flower shop or even smell flowers at a perfume counter, they’ll think of the beautiful day you shared.

Cherishing the Memories Beyond the Wedding

Another thing I truly adore about low floral arrangements is how easy it is for clients to keep the flowers as beautiful mementoes after the big day. Because these arrangements are simple to refresh with a touch of water, they make for a lovely post-wedding treat. You can even take them home and place them in your home to remember the magic of your wedding day.

But it doesn’t stop there. I’ve seen clients take their low floral arrangements and place them at the gravesites of loved ones who couldn’t be with them on their wedding day. What a beautiful, heartfelt way to include them in the celebration, even in spirit. I once had a bride who took all 15 of her arrangements to a local retirement facility to brighten up the day for the residents. It was such a moving and meaningful gesture, a perfect extension of the love and joy shared on that special day.

A Lasting Gift for Loved Ones

The beauty of low floral arrangements is that they’re not just for you—they’re for everyone around you. After your wedding, you can pass them along to family members or friends who adore flowers. Whether it’s your grandmother, your mother, or someone close to your heart, gifting your flowers allows you to share a piece of your special day with those who mean the most to you.

At the end of the day, these low, chic, and luxe floral arrangements aren’t just about creating a gorgeous aesthetic—they’re about creating lasting memories and sharing that beauty with others.

In Summary

I can’t help but feel passionate about low floral arrangements. They’re not only functional and versatile but also have a way of making every space feel effortlessly chic and beautiful. Whether you choose them for your ceremony, reception, or top table, they’ll make a stunning impact without getting in the way. And the best part? You should be able to continue enjoying your wedding flowers long after the day has passed. Depending on the seasonal temperature, room temperature at the venues etc...
