8 Ways to Include Ruffle Details in Wedding Décor

Whether you choose a gown with a voluminous skirt featuring organza ruffles, dress your flower girl in an adorable ruffled frock, or adorn reception tables with soft ruffled linens, utilizing ruffles in the details of your wedding day can instantly add an understated sense of romanticism to décor. Ruffled wedding decorations work especially well for feminine color palettes and styles; however, they can just as easily blend with rustic or bohemian-chic events to provide a layer of softness and comfort throughout that complements an otherwise bold design.

Take a look at eight ways to incorporate ruffles below, with examples from real weddings. Click each photo to gather more inspiration from each celebration!

1. Wedding Dress
Swirling ruffles on the skirt of your bridal gown will instantly make you feel like a princess on your wedding day.

2. Bridal Bouquet
If you'd like to incorporate ruffle details into your bouquet, your floral designer can likely create a unique design out of rose petals that appears ruffled, or choose blooms such as peonies that offer a natural ruffle style.

3. Wedding Shoes
If you want to include ruffles in the most subtle of ways, choose bridal shoes with ruffled details at the toe or heel!

4. Flower Girl Dress
Flower girl attire is perhaps the easiest way to implement ruffles into your big day. Choose a dress with a ruffled skirt to give an utterly feminine feel to your ceremony.

5. Ceremony Décor
Adding drapery to your ceremony structure is a way to add instant drama and romance to your event. Accent this drapery with ruffled swaths of fabric for a sweet surprise. You can also add ruffled ribbon to the backs of ceremony chairs.

6. Reception Linens
While many couples choose sleek linens or even leave wooden tables bare of linens, highlighting a sweetheart table or head table with textured linens featuring ruffles will make tablescapes stand out.

7. Chair Covers
If you'll be adorning reception chairs with covers, consider ruffled designs for a feminine look. Choose a style that featured ruffles on the chair back, or a skirted style.

8. Wedding Cake
More and more couples are choosing to add ruffled details to their wedding cakes! Ask your cake designer to add ruffles to the entire confection or use the ruffled look as an accent on one or two layers.
