Allium, which is decorative garlic or leek, is a unique floral solution for wedding and event decor. These are very catchy lilac or purple blooms on tall stems, and they can be larger or smaller, of a more intense or lighter shade. You may also find dried allium, which is usually spray painted according to the wedding color scheme. Allium is a great solution for many weddings, from ultra-minimalist and modern ones to whimsical secret garden ones, so let’s take a look at some ideas that may inspire you.
Allium Wedding Bouquets
Make your wedding bouquet special with a bit of allium – add color, interest and dimension to it! Allium can be spray painted to match your wedding bouquet, and it can easily match many blooms: dahlias, roses, peonies, garden roses, ranunculus, poppies, anemones and various types of dried blooms, too. Allium is usually not used for mono flower wedding bouquets but it looks fantastic in arrangements.

Allium Wedding Aisles/ Altars
Allium is getting more and more popular for aisle decor as it easily turns your aisle into a magical one, as if these blooms grow right from the ground. Pair up overgrown allium and greenery to make your wedding aisle feel like a secret garden one. Pair up allium and other purple or lilac blooms for a lovely modern wedding with touches of purple. Create a unique wedding altar on the ground using allium and other blooms and giving it a crescent moon shape. Another idea is to use allium to cover the base of your wedding arch – it will seem like an arch growing out of the ground.

As I said above, allium can be easily paired with many other blooms, so you won’t have trouble choosing. Create lovely secret garden centerpieces of purple allium, dahlias and greenery.
