Written by The Vine | 08 April 2024

Delicate and Wispy Arrangements

The idea is to mimic wildflowers' natural and untamed look in a field or a neglected garden. This trend is perfect for an outdoor wedding venue in Texas, where you want to create a relaxed yet festive look. Delicate and fine flowers, such as ranunculus, poppies, and cosmos, are perfect for this trend.

One way to do this is by only using blooms that are in season. These require significantly fewer resources to use. Another approach is to use heirloom and native species.
