Wedding Décor Ideas Using Lathyrus

Sweet peas are incredibly delicate and versatile and can be used in so many ways to make a wedding extra special. Here are some wedding décor ideas using lathyrus flowers:

Bridal Bouquets

For bridal bouquets, lathyrus is an excellent choice, whether you’re going for a single flower look or mixing them with other wedding flowers. A bouquet made entirely of sweet peas is simple yet stunning. When paired with roses, peonies, or ranunculus, the delicate flowers of lathyrus add movement and softness.

Bridesmaid Bouquets

For bridesmaid bouquets, consider using pink or purple lathyrus to symbolize happiness and success. You can keep it simple with a mono bouquet tied up with pretty satin ribbons that match the wedding colours. Or mix sweet peas with some greenery like eucalyptus or ivy for an elegant, natural look.

Groomsmen Boutonnières

And don’t forget about boutonnières! A single sweet pea or a small cluster tied with twine or silk ribbon is the perfect touch for the groom and groomsmen. Simple, refined, and oh-so-charming.
