When planning your wedding or event florals, creating lush and full arrangements can make a stunning impact. One of the best ways to achieve this is by combining potted plants with cut flowers. At Stem Design, we specialize in crafting breathtaking floral designs for weddings and events in Brisbane and the Gold Coast, and we love using this technique to add volume, texture, and longevity to arrangements.

WHY MIX POTTED PLANTS WITH CUT FLOWERS?

• Adds More Volume: Potted plants provide a full, natural base that enhances the overall size of arrangements without requiring excessive cut flowers.
• Longer-Lasting Display: Unlike cut flowers, potted plants remain fresh and vibrant throughout the event and can even be repurposed afterward.
• Eco-Friendly & Sustainable: Using live plants reduces waste and allows for replanting after the event.
• Textural & Color Variety: Potted plants add depth, contrast, and dimension that elevate the floral design.

BEST POTTED PLANTS TO INCORPORATE INTO ARRANGEMENTS

• Ferns & Foliage: Adds lush greenery and a cascading effect for extra fullness.
• Orchids: Elegant and long-lasting, orchids bring a touch of luxury to any event.
• Succulents: Modern and low-maintenance, succulents are great for boho or contemporary themes.
• Lavender & Herbs: Adds fragrance and a soft, natural charm to arrangements.
• Miniature Roses & Hydrangeas: Complements cut flowers seamlessly for a romantic touch.

HOW TO STYLE POTTED PLANTS WITH CUT FLOWERS

• Table Centerpieces: Place potted plants as the foundation, then weave in fresh-cut flowers for a dynamic arrangement.
• Floral Installations: Use potted plants to create lush backdrops or archways that frame your ceremony or reception beautifully.
• Aisle & Entryway Decor: Line pathways with potted plants and accent with fresh flowers for a cohesive look.
• Hanging Arrangements: Suspend potted ferns or ivy alongside floral garlands to add a whimsical touch.
