Three Reasons to Hire Indoor Plants for Your Wedding Instead of Buying Flower Arrangements

by Amber Larson

If your wedding day is fast approaching and you're trying to decide if you should buy some flower arrangements or hire a few indoor plants for the venue, here are three reasons why you might want to opt for the latter.

It's More Eco-Friendly

If you like to think of yourself as an environmentally-responsible person, then it is worth using the services of an indoor plant hire company rather than a florist when the time comes to begin decorating your wedding venue.

The reason for this is as follows: the commercially grown flowers that florists used to create flower arrangements for weddings are coated in a lot of pesticides.

When these flowers then die a few days after being put out on display and are then thrown into a landfill, the pesticides on their petals and stems can end up seeping into the water bodies near that refuse site. This can then affect the health of any aquatic creatures or wildlife that come into contact with that water.

Conversely, if you use rented indoor plants to decorate your wedding venue, you won't have to worry about your decor choices negatively impacting the environment, as the plants won't die and then need to be thrown into the landfill when you are finished with them, but can instead be returned to the rental company for use in another event.

It Will Probably Be Less Expensive 

Flower arrangements for wedding venues can be outrageously expensive, particularly if the venue is large (and therefore requires a lot of flowers) or if you request rarer flower varieties.

Hiring some indoor plants is likely to be significantly less expensive. This is important to note if you are struggling to find ways to reduce the cost of your wedding, without having to make too many compromises that could affect your enjoyment of this day.

These rented plants will be just as beautiful as a set of flower arrangements but will probably be far less costly and will, therefore, free up some money for other wedding-related expenses.

It Will Give Your Wedding Venue a More Unique and Understated Appearance 

If you want to give your wedding decor a unique twist, then it might be worth opting for rented indoor plants instead.

The reason for this is as follows: flower arrangements are the most common type of garden supply used to decorate wedding venues. As such, if you decide to decorate with potted plants instead, this will give the venue a far more individual and striking look.

Furthermore, plants are a far more understated form of decor than flower arrangements. Due to the fact that they feature just one or two colours rather than a multitude of shades, they have a much more classic and understated appearance. This is a point worth noting if you want your wedding venue to look very simple and tasteful, rather than 'showy'.

Make your wedding that much more special by considering indoor plant hire for your venue.
