You must have come across this tall grass at some point or other and probably marvelled at how soft and willowy it is.
Pampas grass, a flowering plant native to South America, including the Pampas region from where it bears its name, is instantly recognisable for its grass-like foliage and feathery plumes that can grow over 2metres in height. It will look stunning in your garden, but even more so in your wedding flower arrangements. Here are some ideas for how to use it.
1. Bride’s bouquet
Don’t you just love how whimsical this bouquet looks?
2. Hanging florals
Stepping into a venue with these beautiful hanging florals will leave your guests in awe.
3. Centrepieces
Adding light touches of Pampas grass to your venue or ceremony centrepieces will put them in a league of their own.
4. Bistro tables
The arrangement itself is so simple, but the effect so stunning.
5. Décor
Have your florist insert stems of this grass into vases as décor around your venue, or as part of a bouquet but with this grass as the focal point.
6. Chair bouquets
Move over gypsophila! Why not use small bits of the grass for the chair bouquets for your ceremony? Whether at a church or at the beach, they’ll make for something a little extraordinary.
7. Ceremony arch
If you’ve opted for a civil ceremony, a flower arch must feature somewhere in your list, and we can’t think of a more glamorous kind than one brimming with this tall and willowy grass.
8. Bridal party wreaths
Wreaths instead of bridal bouquets are an unusual but awesome choice – and these wreaths with baby roses, greenery and Pampas grass are the stuff of wedding dreams.
