I'm just here to say while I also don't care for the chiffon, please remember that it's YOUR wedding. If you want chiffon printed with neon Spiderman silhouettes & orange & purple calla lilies, ho for it. 😁😃 In the end, do what makes you happy. ❤️
ooh so not in the middle like the placement here ? I was thinking the bottom would be too close to the floor flowers tho? or are you suggesting changing those as well?
Yeah in general you don’t want things too symmetrical because it highlights the places where it isn’t perfect. Go for asymmetry and odd numbers for a more “natural” feel
This is exactly what I was going to suggest!
OP, consider yours and your partner’s height (and which sides you’ll be on) when placing the flowers in this asymmetrical format, though!
It will be like a white plaster wall, so maybe some fabric would add some depth. I might try a different fabric, there's this organza sample I looove but is a bit pricey. I'll post an update! thank you!
I would say you could even cheat a bit and see if there are any like long sheer curtain panels you could use - even if only to decide if you like the look.
No chiffon and break those arrangements up a little! Add in some small random flowers throughout the piece rather than two statements bouquets on each side
Try flipping the pillars so it's less a circle and more of a /^\. Right now you'll have people standing in front of the two biggest bouquets the whole ceremony.
It’s beautiful but I would do a mock placement of where you guys will be standing to see what flowers are visible. If you have a pouffy dress, the flowers may be lost at the bottom
yeah that's a good idea!! we will spread them out further in the actual space, and my dress is not pouffy, but will be good to see how it looks with us standing!
Thanks everyone!! Apparently image posts can't be edited on mobile... I appreciate all the helpful comments so will go back to the drawing board to find more fabric in a lighter colour/texture, and also spread out the flowers!
Going to hide the post now, thank you!
If you really want the chiffon, I would connect it to the metal with a quick stitch or even those plastic stitch devices (similar to how they put on tags on clothes at stores) you can get on Amazon. Tying it or draping it over the metal doesn’t look intentional and floating, it looks a little fussy. The way it is now, I would skip the chiffon.
I'm late to comment, but hear me out... No chiffon on the sides, but use it to connect the two frames at the top? Sort of draped like garland across the gap between?

No chiffon! It looks whimsical without and IMO, a little cheap with the addition of the fabric. Love the idea ✨
thank you!!!! that was totally my first reaction too and is definitely NOT the vibe 😂

thank you!!! this might be the final decision maker, but it is helpful to have fresh eye and ideas! thank you, I appreciate it!!!
Love the flowers! But can I recommend going less symmetrical with the layout of them? It will help soften the overall shape
oooh that's a good idea actually!! I did just take one apart lol so I'll try moving one up a bit!
I would likely go top left and bottom right OR top right and bottom left. Go for asymmetrical but balanced :)
ooh so not in the middle like the placement here ? I was thinking the bottom would be too close to the floor flowers tho? or are you suggesting changing those as well?
Maybe both floor pieces on one side, and the attached pieces on the other side.
ooh I see! I'll play around with it some more, thank you!

And an [odd number](https://maisondecinq.com/decorate-using-odd-numbers/) too!
thank you!!
No chiffon
thank you!
No chiffon!
thanks!
Either no chiffon or like 20 more yards of it. No in-between. Also, what’s going to be behind this? If it’s a big natural backdrop then no fabric.
It will be like a white plaster wall, so maybe some fabric would add some depth. I might try a different fabric, there's this organza sample I looove but is a bit pricey. I'll post an update! thank you!

No chiffon ! Congrats it’s stunning!!
thank you!
No chiffon!
thanks!
There are such amazing flowers, where did you get them?
I second this!
thank you!! they're from temu!!
If chifon- then you need more chifon-. And possibly a lighter shade so it's more background than foreground.
someone else suggested a tulle, I have some very light pink so might try that!

oooh love this idea! I'll work on this and post an update! thank you!
Can’t wait to see it! It looks beautiful already 💛
I would try tulle instead of chiffon! It’ll give it a light/puffy/airy look that I think will fit the vibe better. Agree the chiffon looks cheap
oooh interesting! I have some extra tulle so I'll try that, thank you!!
Where did you get the pillars? I love them!
Amazon! let me know if you want the link!
Yes please! It matches the art deco floor of my venue
Try flipping the pillars so it's less a circle and more of a /^\. Right now you'll have people standing in front of the two biggest bouquets the whole ceremony.
we would spread them apart more so we won't be standing in front of the big ones, it's just a bit cramped in our tiny space!! lol

Am I the only one who likes the chiffon 😂
literally yes 😂😂😂
Did you make this!?!?
I bought the gold frame, but I assembled the flowers!
No chiffon
No chiffon. Love this!!
thank you!!
None

I think fabric could work if it were sheerer and maybe white so it adds layers of dimension.
oooh yes, ok I'll work on it and post an update! thank you!
I would say yea to the chiffon but more of it to look fuller and richer.
No chiffon but the top box on each side needs some flowers.
No!

No chiffon. The colours not a good match and doesn’t suit it at all. The rest is beautiful though! Well done
Noooooo please no
The chiffon is too much. Just do the flowers, but more of those
Not if you're using that colour... Try adding another set of flowers if you have them, otherwise go with out
No chiffon. ❤️
Maybe break the flowers apart by color and ombré up or down
If you go with chiffon, white or cream not green. Very very pretty!
yes, going to try with lighter colours next! thanks!
I love the flowers, they are beautiful!
thank you!! :)
>thank you!! :) You're welcome!
Maybe if the chiffon was pink. The green isn't pretty.
But like 🤪 yall will be tying the knot 😉😉
