Set the tone and color palette of your event
Enhance your theme (modern, rustic, boho, elegant, etc.)
Improve guest experience and photo opportunities
Bring a cohesive feel from ceremony to reception
At Boxwood Rose, we specialize in creating memorable, Instagram-worthy decor experiences that wow your guests and make your event one-of-a-kind.
Wedding Decor Essentials Every Couple Should Consider
Let’s break down the core decor items you’ll want to think about as you plan your big day:
1. Ceremony Decor
Your ceremony space sets the stage for the most important moment of your day. Key decor elements include:
Aisle Runners & Liners: Add elegance with a white carpet runner or something bold like a red carpet.
Floral Arches or Backdrops: Perfect for framing your vows and photos.
Chair Decorations: Draped fabrics, ribbons, or greenery accents.
Hanging Installations: Floating floral pieces or chandeliers to add romance and dimension.
✨ Pro Tip: Our lush boxwood or floral walls make stunning ceremony backdrops and can double as photo ops later!

Reception decor is where your personality as a couple can shine. Don’t overlook these showstoppers:
Table Centerpieces: Candles, lanterns, mini florals, and even DIY mason jar displays with fairy lights.
Tablescapes: Coordinated table runners, chargers, and linens.
Lighting: String lights, hanging Edison bulbs, or spotlights to set the mood.
Statement Walls: Our custom floral and greenery walls are a guest favorite for selfies and group shots.

FAQs About Wedding Decor
How much decor do I need for my wedding?
It depends on your venue size, guest count, and theme. Focus on high-impact areas like the ceremony arch, sweetheart table, and photo booth backdrop.
What is a wedding floral rental?
A wedding floral rental refers to using high-quality, reusable floral arrangements or installations—like Boxwood Rose’s greenery walls or faux florals—without the high price tag or waste of fresh flowers.
Do I need a backdrop?
If you want a designated space for photos, yes! A floral or greenery wall provides a polished, professional look and enhances your guests’ experience.
Can decor be reused between ceremony and reception?
Absolutely. For example, your floral arch can become a head table backdrop, and aisle lanterns can line your dance floor or bar area.
How far in advance should I book my decor vendor?
We recommend booking your wedding decor rentals at least 3-6 months in advance to ensure availability—especially during peak seasons.
