Greenery-only centerpieces are emerging as a fan-favorite wedding décor choice, taking TikTok by storm. If you're unfamiliar, picture this: eucalyptus, pine, palms, and ferns arranged together in a harmonious display that provides the perfect backdrop for any color theme you choose. We think these centerpieces offer a natural and timeless allure. 

Cameron Forbes, a luxury events planner in New York, likes greenery-only centerpieces because they create a monochromatic look. She notes that greenery-only centerpieces are “inherently minimalistic, making them an excellent option for modern brides.” However, she also notes this trend lends itself to many design aesthetics and wedding themes. “The organic feel of these centerpieces works well for outdoor weddings,” she tells Brides, adding that they’re also perfect for sophisticated urban settings and laid-back countryside weddings.

I, too, adopted greenery to fit the setting of my outdoor vineyard wedding. My mid-September affair called for an earthy, eco-conscious aesthetic, and I gravitated to a lush tablescape to set a mood. We wed on the same day as my father and late mother and I wanted to honor her with details that she would not only approve of, but also adore. My greenery-leading centerpieces delivered.

If you're chasing a natural aesthetic, greenery-only centerpieces are an easy choice to complement many types of venues, without detracting from the breathtaking scenery. And when you do introduce pops of floral color into centerpieces like I did, they'll deliver a lasting impact. Ahead, we explore this trend with our favorite greenery-only and greenery-leading centerpieces for the most enchanted aesthetic.

When traditional-style round tables are out of the question, classic arrangements in vases don't always bring the vision together. The silver eucalyptus garland will add an organic touch to any micro-wedding or create harmony between place settings on a rustic rectangular wood table. Forbes loves the look of “loose and wild greenery for rustic, farmhouse-style weddings.” Whatever the setting, eucalyptus is hearty and known to deliver purifying effects and drive away negativity.

Afloral Mixed Faux Cypress and Norfolk Pine Rigid Table Centerpiece

Embrace the seasons when choosing your greenery. “For example, you can use fresh, bright green foliage for spring while saving cedar and pine branches for a winter wedding,” says Forbes. Doing this will help to prolong the life of live plants and enhance the theme you’re going for.

I opted for a similar piece to Afloral’s pine garland at my wedding. It’s a great option to add some life and charm into the bridal table without blocking the view of the happy couple. Despite being monochromatic, this pine centerpiece mixes two species of pine, Norfolk and Cypress, to create a voluptuous and realistic-looking garland.

My bridal shower was a labor of love (sweat and tears too). As a lover of everything DIY, I created my décor, including an illustrious balloon garland and party favors. Assuming your nuptials include a small guest list, creating your own centerpieces may be an option. The arrangement here, sold on Etsy, allows you to add a personal touch to your big day. Learn how to assemble centerpieces, and experiment with different materials like candles and glassware. Forbes recommends a few good options including “salal tips, sword fern, ruscus, and myrtle.”

Let’s face it, depending on your venue and the weather, real flowers and greenery may not be an option. Consider faux arrangements that can be repurposed and admired from your ceremony, to the after-party and beyond. Angela Flower’s centerpiece is a great accent to any wedding aisle and simply adding a tall pedestal under these lush floral balls, enhances the drama of any tablescape.

Bouqs 

This versatile garland can be incorporated into your décor in more ways than one. Consider hanging it above doorways, attached to a wedding arbor, or weaved between platters on a dessert table. I used garland on my wedding ceremony arch to mimic the draping branches of a willow tree in the background. It accentuated the natural beauty of the surroundings, instead of overshadowing it.

Pair it with Afloral’s Olive Branch Arrangement for a seamless transition from live to artificial plants. Connect the buffet table décor to the guest tables and achieve a sophisticated European theme.
