5 ways to incorporate wheat into your big day
As couples are more
environmentally aware, natural/country/vintage/woodland themed weddings are
really popular again this year. There
are so many pretty natural, eco-friendly details in which you can include into
your special day, so where do you start? Today’s blog is all about a versatile natural crop that can be used in a
variety of aspects of your wedding day...wheat!
To inspire your natural wedding, here are 5 ways
to incorporate wheat
into your wedding:
1. The
bouquet
Traditionally,
the bouquet is made up of fresh flowers and green foliage, yet recent years
have seen the introduction of alternative bouquets such as buttons, brooches,
fruits, shells and even pine cones to name but a few. A fantastic way of including wheat into your
wedding is to use it as your bouquet. Wheat Sheaves are perfect and you can either choose them with dried
flowers already included or plain to add your own personal touch by adding
fresh flowers, ribbons or anything you like to make suit your style.
2. Buttonholes
Wheat is great for
making buttonholes. Its neutral colour
really stands out against the groom and groomsmen’s suits. Make your own by taking a few stems of wheat;
add a dried or fresh flower and tie together with some raffia or coloured
ribbon to match your wedding theme.
3. Table
centrepiece
Choosing your
table centrepieces can be difficult and expensive. Wheat Sheaves make simple, elegant and
inexpensive centrepieces. Place them in
the centre of your table on crisp, white tablecloths and add your own personal
touches by sprinkling some confetti around the base, adding fresh flowers or
lavender between the stems.
4. Place
settings
Carry on the wheat
theme by making your own place settings. Take a stem or two of wheat and add a stem of lavender or a single flower,
tie these to your napkins and add a tag with your guests’ name for a simple,
yet distinctive place setting decoration.
5. Venue
décor
Wheat sheaves come
in all different sizes, this makes them the ideal venue decoration. Place different sized wheat sheaves around
your venue to give a sense of texture and height. They look great as the outline of an aisle
path or leading the way up stairs inside your venue. For a more rustic look, place some wheat and lavender bunches in rustic containers for some added natural charm.
Wheat is so
versatile, allowing you to really put your own creative stamp on your big
day. If you’re not creative, there is a
wonderful selection of wheat sheaves in our shop.
