When it comes to big events, few are dressed for the occasion as well as floral arrangements. They set the tone for the event with the smallest of effort, garnishing entryways, being the centerpieces for the assortment of tables, illustriously filling the empty spaces in larger venues, or even commanding the room by itself. Floral archways easily capture everyone's attention due to their ostentatious nature and therefore regularly populate significant events such as weddings. Walking through them is almost like walking into a new dimension, completely separating the event from the venue. Such is the power of floral arrangements, and their various colors and unique looks make for a realm of infinite possibilities when implementing them into a decorative setting, all with the added bonus of adding a bit of freshness to the stuffy atmosphere that usually accompanies big events.
Floral arrangements are cheat codes in decorating, especially if the occasion is a bit strict with colors. Weddings, business events, and similar outings usually have a tighter dress code or desired color combination, which makes it a bit harder to be creative with the decorations. Well, when colors are not interchangeable, textures and shades are, which both happen to be massive advantages flowers have. Take the red and black color combination for example. Already versatile, but with flowers there are countless combinations decorators and patrons could take advantage of to stand out. Velvety red roses on lapels are an easy option, but more textured burgundy dahlias are a sure way to turn some heads or add texture to the monotonous red and black. These advantages concern only the petals as well. When including the entire flower, even the stem becomes an added resource. Stems can be painted or structured to give an air of uniqueness not found in their usual form. Decorators can cut them to meet their specific needs, allowing for more room in the arrangement or empowering a different flower to become the focus.
