We love it as it works well in modern or industrial settings and is great for brightening up darker spaces. It offers complete freedom from a strict colour scheme with tones that include Pantone\u2019s colour of the year, Living Coral, plus bright blues, pinks, oranges and greens. We\u2019re seeing flowers like Bird of Paradise, Orchids, Calla Lilies, Gardenias and even Hydrangeas as well as palms, grasses and ferns incorporated too. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ikea.com\/gb\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">IKEA<\/a> have a great range of succulents and artificial plants, which are wonderful as real tropical flowers can be difficult and expensive to grow in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-253224 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-full'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/wedissimo.com\/blog\/diy-wedding-ikea\/fejka-artificial-potted-plant-with-pot-in-outdoor-succulent__0614769_pe687828_s5\/'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/fejka-artificial-potted-plant-with-pot-in-outdoor-succulent__0614769_pe687828_s5.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/fejka-artificial-potted-plant-with-pot-in-outdoor-succulent__0614769_pe687828_s5.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/fejka-artificial-potted-plant-with-pot-in-outdoor-succulent__0614769_pe687828_s5-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/fejka-artificial-potted-plant-with-pot-in-outdoor-succulent__0614769_pe687828_s5-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/fejka-artificial-potted-plant-with-pot-in-outdoor-succulent__0614769_pe687828_s5-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/fejka-artificial-potted-plant-with-pot-in-outdoor-succulent__0614769_pe687828_s5-720x720.jpg 720w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/fejka-artificial-potted-plant-with-pot-in-outdoor-succulent__0614769_pe687828_s5-370x370.jpg 370w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/fejka-artificial-potted-plant-with-pot-in-outdoor-succulent__0614769_pe687828_s5-570x570.jpg 570w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/fejka-artificial-potted-plant-with-pot-in-outdoor-succulent__0614769_pe687828_s5-770x770.jpg 770w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/fejka-artificial-potted-plant-with-pot-in-outdoor-succulent__0614769_pe687828_s5-580x580.jpg 580w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/fejka-artificial-potted-plant-with-pot-in-outdoor-succulent__0614769_pe687828_s5-175x175.jpg 175w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/wedissimo.com\/blog\/diy-wedding-ikea\/smycka-artificial-leaf-monstera-green__0446725_pe596784_s4\/'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/smycka-artificial-leaf-monstera-green__0446725_pe596784_s4.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/smycka-artificial-leaf-monstera-green__0446725_pe596784_s4.jpg 500w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/smycka-artificial-leaf-monstera-green__0446725_pe596784_s4-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/smycka-artificial-leaf-monstera-green__0446725_pe596784_s4-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/smycka-artificial-leaf-monstera-green__0446725_pe596784_s4-370x370.jpg 370w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/smycka-artificial-leaf-monstera-green__0446725_pe596784_s4-175x175.jpg 175w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ikea.com\/gb\/en\/p\/smycka-artificial-leaf-monstera-green-00335705\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SMYCKA Artificial leaf<\/a> | FEJKA Artificial potted plant with pot<\/p>\n\n<h2>Transitional Style<\/h2>\n<p>Increasingly couples are much more aware of how their wedding choices affect the environment. Unfortunately weddings can be inherently wasteful and a lot of couples are now really trying to reduce the environmental impact their wedding has as much as possible. A great way to do this is reusing d\u00e9cor throughout the day and also after the wedding. Here are a few ideas:<\/p>\n<h3>Use of potted plants over cut flowers<\/h3>\n<p>Cut flowers are beautiful but they have a short life and are not always the most environmentally friendly d\u00e9cor. Potted plants have a much longer life and can be given to guests as gifts or favours or even reused at home. Plants like herbs are especially good as they are useful and smell great.<\/p>\n<h3>Artificial flowers &amp; foliage<\/h3>\n<p>Artificial flowers and foliage can be reused after the wedding, whether this is being used for another event, given away as a gift or decorating your home. There are also companies who hire artificial large plants and foliage garlands, which really minimise waste. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ikea.com\/gb\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">IKEA<\/a> have a great selection of artificial flowers, which can be used in arrangements or to add interest in foliage. On the day we made full centrepiece floral arrangements with the blooms on sale.<\/p>\n<h3>Clever use of home &amp; everyday items which will be useful afterwards<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ikea.com\/gb\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">IKEA<\/a> have picked out a wide selection of items from their range which double as excellent wedding d\u00e9cor items. My particular favourite is their use of the sides of the wooden storage unit as decorative hanging ladders. We also showed the attendees how the SAMMANHANG display stand could be used for a dessert, grazing or guest book table and this would be great in the home afterwards. \u00a0During the workshop we decorated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ikea.com\/gb\/en\/p\/korken-jar-with-lid-clear-glass-40323654\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KORKEN<\/a> jars with chalk pen and tags, filling them with sweets and showing that one item can be used as a place name, favour and table d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-4' class='gallery galleryid-253224 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-full'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/wedissimo.com\/blog\/diy-wedding-ikea\/korken-jar-with-lid-clear-glass__0712810_pe729071_s5\/'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/korken-jar-with-lid-clear-glass__0712810_pe729071_s5.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/korken-jar-with-lid-clear-glass__0712810_pe729071_s5.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/korken-jar-with-lid-clear-glass__0712810_pe729071_s5-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/korken-jar-with-lid-clear-glass__0712810_pe729071_s5-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/korken-jar-with-lid-clear-glass__0712810_pe729071_s5-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/korken-jar-with-lid-clear-glass__0712810_pe729071_s5-720x720.jpg 720w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/korken-jar-with-lid-clear-glass__0712810_pe729071_s5-370x370.jpg 370w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/korken-jar-with-lid-clear-glass__0712810_pe729071_s5-570x570.jpg 570w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/korken-jar-with-lid-clear-glass__0712810_pe729071_s5-770x770.jpg 770w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/korken-jar-with-lid-clear-glass__0712810_pe729071_s5-580x580.jpg 580w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/korken-jar-with-lid-clear-glass__0712810_pe729071_s5-175x175.jpg 175w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/wedissimo.com\/blog\/diy-wedding-ikea\/sammanhang-display-stand-black__0605247_pe681678_s5\/'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/sammanhang-display-stand-black__0605247_pe681678_s5.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/sammanhang-display-stand-black__0605247_pe681678_s5.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/sammanhang-display-stand-black__0605247_pe681678_s5-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/sammanhang-display-stand-black__0605247_pe681678_s5-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/sammanhang-display-stand-black__0605247_pe681678_s5-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/sammanhang-display-stand-black__0605247_pe681678_s5-720x720.jpg 720w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/sammanhang-display-stand-black__0605247_pe681678_s5-370x370.jpg 370w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/sammanhang-display-stand-black__0605247_pe681678_s5-570x570.jpg 570w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/sammanhang-display-stand-black__0605247_pe681678_s5-770x770.jpg 770w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/sammanhang-display-stand-black__0605247_pe681678_s5-580x580.jpg 580w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2019\/03\/sammanhang-display-stand-black__0605247_pe681678_s5-175x175.jpg 175w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<h3>Non-flower centrepieces<\/h3>\n<p>Increasingly, couples are exploring using items other than flowers for their centrepieces.

They can be filled with fairy lights, the table name or items which are meaningful to the couple. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ikea.com\/gb\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">IKEA<\/a> also has a huge range of photo frames and we explored how they can be used on family photo tables, for table numbers and names or for table plans. The team had even removed the back from one of the more elaborate frames and written a wedding welcome message on the glass. Brilliant!<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t necessarily a trend that\u2019s informed by fads and instead is a wonderful opportunity for couples to inject some personality into their d\u00e9cor as well as
