  • Two exquisite designer flower boxes
  • Two Flower Boxes for Supporting “Shades of Emerald & Tawny Beige”
  • Three Flower Boxes for Supporting “Emerald & Tawny Beige”
  • Three Deluxe Greenery Combo boxes
  • Five of the Accent Combo’s boxes
  • Ten boxes of bushes with greenery
  • Blocks of floral foam (we used 9) wire mesh
  • Two flower stands (you can choose the sizes; we used a tall and a short one).
  • The scissors
  • Pliers for green zip ties
  • Your Ingenuity

You can display your style, taste, and inventiveness at your wedding. The creative flower boxes from Flowersarch are the ideal beginning kit for making your unique floral design instead of conventional wedding décor.

We utilized emerald and tawny beige designer flower boxes to create this sophisticated backdrop, but you can make your own using any of our more than 12 color schemes!

How to Make a Greenery Background Step-by-Step

Whether your wedding is a boho-chic or classic romance, you can easily match your theme with this 6-step instruction that will help you create a stunning background!

Step 1. Wrap the Foam Blocks

Wrap a single block of floral foam with wire mesh. Make sure the entire block is covered with mesh. To prepare them for the following stage, you will do this to every other foam block.

Step 2. Attach Foam Blocks to the Flower Stands

Place one block of wrapped foam vertically into the shortest flower stand. After that, use cable ties to fasten it to the stand, then use scissors to cut off any extra.

Repeat these steps as you fasten each foam block to your two stands. The shortest stand should have one foam block in the center and two mesh foam blocks on the bottom.

The tallest stand should then have two mesh blocks fastened at the bottom. Then, arrange four blocks from the middle to the top of the stand, leaving around 5 inches between each block.

Secure your block in two locations to ensure your arrangement is strong and endures through the wedding day.

Step 3. Add the Greenery

It’s time to include your plants now. Please take a few branches of greenery and start inserting them into the sides and top of each block of floral foam. As you cover the stand with branches, pay attention to its shape. Make the bottom of the stand appear fuller than the top if you want to give the background a more organic appearance.

Tip: Cut a few inches from the stems of a few foliage leaves. For the following step, save those stems in a pile.

Step 4. Attach Flowers to the Stems

Please select your preferred flower and affix it to one of the stems you made earlier. To accomplish this, fasten the flower to the stem using the zip ties. Your bloom will appear longer as a result. To make the arrangement neater, you can cut off the zip tie’s tail after it is fastened. For the majority of the flowers in your arrangement, use this technique.

Step 5: Add Flowers

It’s time to fill in the spaces left by the greenery by inserting the long flowers into the foam blocks on your stand. By continuing to reduce some of the stems, you can produce blossoms of varying lengths. This will give your arrangement more depth.

Step 6. Finishing Touches

Here, you will take the leftover flowers from your arrangement and scatter them throughout the entire arrangement by placing a flower of each color within the stand. Remember that the arrangement will look more realistic if the plants are chopped to varying sizes.

Adding fruits, branches, and additional leaves is the final stage in creating a vibrant and aesthetically pleasing arrangement. After this is finished, you will have two gorgeous backdrops for your wedding.
