With the wedding season fast approaching I have been very fortunate to help of many couples design the look and feel of their wedding. Whether I was hired as their event planner or as their florist, I put forth the same effort in helping them design the perfect ambience for their day. But I am also very away of budgets and flowers should be able to be used in multiply places. This wedding season I am working with two particular couples that I love their style. And both weddings have one thing in common… Pomanders!
Pomanders are one of the many styles that today’s brides have decided to go with. One of the reasons is because they can easily be used at the ceremony and then reused at the reception venue. My first wedding that I have the honor of being part of we will be hanging multiple pomanders from an arch and also having the main aisle being lined with them. We are using many different sizes to give the look more depth. After the ceremony these will be moved into the reception site to be used as the table centerpieces. We are taking the pomanders and placing them on various sized cylinder vases with some of them filled with bear grass and the others with Granny Smith Apples…
My second wedding that I get to be part of is with a very modern couple that knows exactly what look they were going for in their design. They came into their first meeting with clear visions of very large pomanders in a bold purple color. They are lining their main aisle with basketball sized pomanders on Sheppard hooks with a thick layer of rose petals on the ground. This ceremony will be stunning! After the ceremony, we will be transporting these over to the reception venue and they will be placed on very tall cylinder vases that will be have silver and purple twigs submerged in water. Their reception is going to have a very bold and modern look that will leave their guest talking
But there are different ways to show off your pomanders then placing them on vases. I personally love when you take mini pomanders and they are hung from candle holders or large pomanders that are hung on trees. But also I love when they are placed in a large martini glass and a pomander is made to look like an olive… How awesome is that for a bar! Another really cute idea is having your flower girls carry a pomander instead of a basket. It just adds another touch of modern elegance to your day.
So I have given you a lot to think about when it comes to pomanders. I would love to hear your ideas and some new and unique ideas to show off this design.
