For as long as we can remember, we’ve been drawn to ceremony spaces that feel alive — untouched, organic, and deeply connected to nature.
Not the towering arches or sculpted backdrops, but flowers that bloom from the earth itself.
That’s where the idea of a Ground Floral Nest began for us.
What Is a Ground Floral Nest?
A floral nest (also known as a ground floral installation) is a garden-style arrangement that sits directly on the floor — as if the flowers have grown naturally around you.
Unlike traditional floral arches that reach upward, the nest grows outward, gently framing the couple and grounding the entire scene in soft, natural beauty.
It’s minimal yet rich, organic yet intentional — a living frame that allows you and your guests to feel completely immersed in nature.
Why We’ve Always Loved This Style
While floral nests are now one of the most talked-about trends in modern weddings, we fell in love with them long before they became popular.
Not because they were fashionable — but because they made sense.
They’re sustainable by design.
After the ceremony, these grounded florals can be effortlessly repurposed — moved to the bar, the reception entrance, the sweetheart table, or even the cake display.
Nothing is wasted; every bloom continues to tell your story throughout the day.
That’s what we’ve always loved most — the beauty of transformation, of one creation flowing into another.
Design Details That Matter
If you’re dreaming of creating this at Chateau Mona, here are a few guiding principles that make it truly magical:
-
Organic Shape: Avoid rigid symmetry. Let the flowers spill and curve naturally, as if they’ve grown into place.
-
Layered Textures: Mix delicate blooms with wild branches, moss, and greenery for depth and authenticity.
-
Natural Colour Flow: Blend soft neutrals with deeper tones to create visual movement.
-
Integration with the Space: Let the florals complement the venue’s natural beauty — never overpower it.
-
Repurpose Thoughtfully: Design your ceremony florals with reusability in mind. A few small adjustments can give them a second life at the reception.
A Ceremony Without an Arch
We’ve always loved the idea of no arch — just a floral nest embracing the couple, open to the sky.
No frame, no boundaries — only flowers, air, and light.
At Chateau Mona, where nature itself feels like art, this grounded approach feels timeless and deeply personal.
It’s not about grandeur — it’s about grace.
Our Tip for Couples
When you plan your ceremony flowers, think from the ground outwards.
Let your floral story begin where your vows are made — surrounded by blooms that can live on, not be left behind.
Because beauty isn’t just how something looks in the moment — it’s how it continues to exist after.
Final Thought
The floral nest isn’t just a trend — it’s a philosophy.
It celebrates sustainability, organic beauty, and the art of reimagining.
At Chateau Mona, we believe every bloom deserves more than one moment to shine.
So let your ceremony florals grow, flow, and evolve — just like your love.
