Ideas to decorate the Priory Doorway
When planning your wedding at a beautiful priory, the right decor can make a significant impact, especially at the entrance. Ruth of House of Mimi Fleur, our onsite florist, explains, “Adorning the doorway with lush fresh or faux blooms, or elegant greenery, sets a welcoming tone for your guests. The doorway creates a stunning backdrop for photos before and after the ceremony. Whether you envision an archway overflowing with foliage or towering pedestals brimming with flowers, there are endless possibilities. We love creating a unique and memorable display that complements both the Priory and your personal style.”
Ruth adds, “Imagine greeting your guests with a dramatic floral arch or a natural arrangement that seamlessly integrates with the surrounding architecture. You could even incorporate elements like potted plants, decorative branches, baskets, or a splash of seasonal or tonal flowers to enhance the entrance. For those looking to add a contemporary twist, consider a deconstructed arch using delicate flowers for a soft, romantic feel. Alternatively, embrace the season with autumnal hues. Floral installations can go way beyond colorful arches. We can transform this perfect doorway with a range of ideas. These ideas can include wreaths, pumpkins, pedestals and urns, garlands, potted bay trees, floral swags, greenery, and faux candles. These designs can be as simple or as elaborate as you like, ensuring that your wedding entrance is both inviting and unforgettable”
