18 Times Sun Palm Wedding Decor Was Having A Moment

You’re no stranger to sun palm wedding decor, am I right? The dried grass, dyed flower and exotic palm aesthetic has been one of the most influential design trends to hit weddings ever. We have a couple guesses as to why, but an image says a thousand words…. and we’ve got 18! So let’s dive right in, my friend.

Sun palms have a magical way of adding depth, texture and shape to a design element in one fell swoop. And they come in a vast range of sizes, which really limits any excuses for not including them in your wedding decor!

Contrary to popular belief, they don’t just fit the boho chic mold. Sun palm wedding decor is incredibly dynamic, fitting like a glove in holographic pastel, New England disco and tropical loft wedding designs just as easily as pampas + palm centered beach fetes!
