My team was involved in some decoration work for the Wedding Fair that took place in HortPark on last Saturday. This time, we helped to dress up a signboard (located at the Multi Purpose Hall) that showcased HortPark as a garden wedding venue in Singapore.
There are two sides to this signboard and because HortPark is a gardening hub, we conceptualised a design that also incorporated some gardening elements in it. A lush grouping of plants flanked both sides of the signboard depicted a garden scene. Airplant species such as Tillandsia xerographica and T. usneoides were used in the decoration as well. The frequent visitor to HortPark would have noticed the clumps of T. usneoides, commonly called Spanish moss, hanging from a rain tree planted in the Silver Garden, which is a popular photographic spot with wedding couples.
We quietly put two terrariums in this display as the terrarium workshop in HortPark has been a very popular gardening activity with visitors. Couples planning to tie the knot can also consider making their own terrariums and watch their love grow. They make ideal gifts for your guests who are invited to your wedding reception. Two spherical cages containing nerve plants is one idea we came up with that can be used in a decorative display in a gardening wedding.
One would have also noticed the use of the sweetheart hoya (Hoya kerrii) in this decoration work. It is one plant that symbolises love due to its attractive, heart-shaped leaves. It is a fuss-free and easy-to-grow plant that is available for sale planted in snail shells which is another ideal gift idea for your guests.
On the other side of the signboard, we added an assortment of fittonias presented in an array of dish gardens to confer some vibrant colour to the overall display via their colourful foliage. Flowers are often used for various purposes in weddings and to promote a green wedding concept, we hope to promote the use of plants as environmentally-friendly alternatives for consideration by green-minded wedding couples on their special day.
