Creative Ways to Make a Big Floral Statement
If you want your guests to stop and stare, go bold with your florals. Think full floral arches, lush aisle meadows, or even a floral ceiling installation over your dance floor. These large-scale designs instantly elevate your event, add depth to your photos, and create unforgettable moments of beauty. At Wild Bunches, we love a ceiling or dance-floor installation that draws everyone’s eyes upward - perfect for couples who want something guests can’t stop talking about.
The Most Popular Large-Scale Designs
Our Austin floral design team regularly creates arches, hanging installations, and dramatic ceremony backdrops. Lately, ceiling installations over the dance floor have been especially popular - they make every photo feel magical and give your reception space that fully transformed look. Whether you’re saying “I do” under a floral arch or dancing beneath a cloud of blooms, these installations make every detail feel intentional and luxurious.
Choosing the Right Installation for Your Venue
Not every venue needs the same floral setup, which is why we always help couples select a design that enhances their space. A lot of it comes down to budget, but we always recommend including at least one statement floral piece. Even a single large installation can completely change the atmosphere - taking a wedding we’ve all seen a million times and turning it into something completely unique and original.
When we’re planning your floral design, we’ll look at your venue layout, ceiling height, and focal points (like an altar or dance floor) to decide where flowers will make the most impact.
How Large-Scale Florals Transform the Look and Feel
There’s something unforgettable about walking into a space that makes you pause. Arches, chuppahs, and hanging florals create that wow moment guests will talk about long after the wedding day. They also photograph beautifully, framing key moments and adding a sense of drama, texture, and romance to every shot. These customized and unique floral designs aren’t just décor - they’re a full-sensory experience that sets the tone for your celebration.
Behind the Scenes: What Couples Should Know
The truth is, big installations take time and manpower. We often need additional setup time or extra team members to ensure every flower is perfectly placed. For example, at museum or historic venues with strict timelines, we factor in extra time and staffing to make sure everything is flawless from start to finish.
When you’re planning your wedding, remember to talk with your florist early about your venue’s logistics - ceiling height, load-in rules, and timing can all affect what’s possible.
What to Budget for Large-Scale Florals
Statement floral pieces can range from $1,800 - $10,000, depending on the complexity and size.
Here’s a quick breakdown of typical price ranges:
Arches: $1,800 – $3,500
Full chuppahs: $4,000 – $12,000
Hanging installations: $2,000 – $10,000
Aisle floral meadows: $2,000 – $7,000
Every wedding is unique, and we customize each design based on the vision, venue, and flower selection - but this gives you a realistic starting point when planning your floral budget.
Can You Repurpose Large floral Installations?
Sometimes! Aisle florals can often move to the reception space (like the bar or sweetheart table), but hanging installations and chuppahs typically stay put. We love helping couples find creative ways to make their florals work double-duty - just keep in mind that anything suspended or complex will stay anchored for safety reasons.
If there’s a space where guests linger or look up - like the bar, ceremony, or dance floor - it’s always worth transforming into a floral statement moment.
Our Best Advice for That Wow-Factor Moment
Budget intentionally and be willing to go all-in on the pieces that truly matter to you. We always tell couples: spend where it counts. A large-scale floral design can completely change the energy of your event, while smaller details can be simplified in other areas. Your guests will remember the feeling of stepping into a space that takes their breath away.
