2. Welcome Sign

A framed welcome sign decorated with flowers is an elegant addition to a welcome table along with a guestbook and card box. A white frame provides a contrast to the chalkboard paint and the colorful blooms add just enough brightness.

3. Filled With Flowers

To create a unique decoration, hang wooden frames and accessorize them with cascading flowers. This is a great idea for a loft or barn venue that is a blank canvas.
