Flower Walls: When, Where, and Why?

Flower walls

You’ve seen them on social media. Vibrant, explosive blossoms expanding up and out to make a statement and draw the eye. Flower walls are trendy because—when done right—they can be show-stealing decorative features that everyone will be talking about long after the event is over.

But how do you incorporate them into your event? When is the right time? In this article, we provide a comprehensive answer to that question, giving you an in-depth explanation of everything you need to know about flower walls. Read on to learn more about how you can enhance any event with a feature your guests won’t soon forget.

When should you use flower walls?

Flower walls are stunning design options for celebratory events. You see them often at high-end weddings, baby showers, and other commemorative gatherings. However, there is no specific context to which they are limited.

Flower walls can be introduced to almost any setting as a focal point around which guests’ attention will collect. That could mean corporate banquets, product launches, engagement parties, gender reveal parties, or art gallery openings.

The potential is almost endless. By nature of their cheerful vibrance, you may not see flower walls at many funerals, but ultimately all limitations are self-imposed. Because they are so flexible—you can use a wide range of flowers and colors—the design can be adapted to suit the mood of almost any occasion.

Where should you use flower walls?

While there are no hard and fast rules for where you should use flower walls, it helps to consider their effect. Where this feature is, your guest’s eyes will go. So what do you do with a centerpiece? Place it in a spot of importance.

Again, your creativity is the only limitation—and the possibilities are endless. Imagine a wedding in which the bridal party’s table is positioned just before a wall of scarlet roses. Or a product launch in which four executives sit in plush seats just before a wall of cream-colored cala lily.

There are other directions you can take this feature. An engagement party in which photographs of the happy couple are strategically set into a wall of romantic flowers. A corporate event in which the—hopefully complimentary—bar is set up before a horizontal stretch of fragrant blooms. An outdoor gala in which the dining area is flanked on all sides by multiple flower walls that create a semi-enclosed space, separate from the dance floor.

A secret? Flowers look good pretty much anywhere you put them. The key is to use that information strategically. Everyone will be looking at the flower wall. Try to direct their attention toward something important.

Why should you use flower walls?

Perhaps the “why,” at this point, is obvious. Flower walls are eye-catching and attractive décor features that enhance any event in which they are introduced. You use them to celebrate or commemorate. To set your celebration apart from the many others that your guests have been to.

Flower walls enhance the experience. Your guests will marvel at its beauty and wait patiently to take pictures near it.

Are real flowers used?

Typically, real flowers are used. Their look, feel, and smell cannot quite be replicated by synthetic materials, making them the ideal choice for events that are only to last for a day or two. That said, some installations may be seasonal. For example, a weeklong art festival or community event may wish to use a flower wall to draw attention to its central location.

In this case, the event coordinators have two options. They can periodically have wilting flowers replaced, or they can implement a silken synthetic design, that will look realistic and require no maintenance.

Can you use any flowers?

Well, not any flower. There are tons of directions you can take your flower wall, but also, common requirements that should be taken into account. The first, of course, is that the flower should be visually interesting, both its blossom and any foliage that will be visible.

Most flowers admittedly meet this requirement to varying extents—when was the last time you saw any flower at all that wasn’t at least a little beautiful?—but most people choose complex, hearty blooms, the likes of which you might find on a rose.

More delicate flowers are typically omitted—or substituted with a synthetic material as the case may be.

Note: You don’t necessarily need to use flowering plants at all. Ferns can make an eye-catching wall feature on the strength of their attractive foliage.
