Berry wedding color palettes are extremely popular (we personally love them, too), but if you're really obsessed with the small fruits, we recommend taking your event design to the next level and incorporating actual berries (or realistic renditions of them) into your celebration. Natural décor is practically a wedding must-have, but flowers and greenery aren't your only options. Produce—including berries—makes a memorable addition to any aspect of your big day. To prove it to you, we've rounded up a number of genius berry wedding ideas.
Berries work well for casual summer weddings (they're a huge part of the season's harvest), but you really can use them at any type of event, from a rustic fall fête, to a whimsical spring celebration, to a formal winter affair. Plus, because they come in a range of shades depending on variety and ripeness (think: red, blue, purple—and even green, yellow, and orange—hues), they can seamlessly fit into any type of color scheme. Whether you focus on their delicious tastes or simply adore how berries look, the menu and décor possibilities are plentiful.
The first example on our list of beautiful and fun berry ideas for weddings? This sweet naked confection by Leaf & Crumb, which had cranberries, raspberries, and strawberries displayed atop its cake stand and two tiers. If this design is right up your alley, you'll love what we've spotlighted ahead. From blackberry wedding centerpieces to blueberry wedding place settings, there's tons to savor on the following slides.
Blueberry Place Settings
Glass boxes of blueberries (like these ones styled by Created Lovely Events) look gorgeous as place settings that double as wedding favors. You can personalize the boxes themselves or pair them with matching name cards, like these La Happy ones.
Berry Boutonnière
Privet berries were a beautiful addition to this rustic Scarlett & Grace boutonnière, but small blueberries would be equally lovely.
Blackberry Bouquet
Red (unripe) and blue (ripe) blackberries popped in this colorful Studio Choo bridal arrangement.
Berry Flower Girl Basket
Cedarwood Weddings sent this flower girl out with a basket of berries instead of petals.
Blackberry Centerpiece
This stunning reception centerpiece wasn't just full of berry colors—it contained actual blackberries, too. Amber Reverie styled the table décor.
Blackberry Flower Crown
Berries work in more than just bouquets, boutonnières, and centerpieces, too. How dreamy was this fruit-filled flower crown by Latte Decor?
Blackberry Save-the-Date
Fresh berries are pretty, but so are paper goods with lifelike pictures of them. Amber Moon Design created this couple's save-the-date to nod to their venue: Blackberry Farm. The fruit was displayed on a vellum sheet which was sent out with cards calligraphed by Anne Robin.
Raspberry Place Setting
Berries can fit any theme—or even a combination of styles. Chiara Sernesi and Jardin
Divers collaborated on this classic-meets-modern place setting, which featured elegant dishes, trendy agate place cards, and raspberries.
Strawberry Escort Cards
Sweet baskets of strawberries were labeled with table assignments for this Mindy Rice Design and XOXO BRIDE Events wedding.
Blackberry Invitation
Blueberry, raspberry, and blackberry stamps adorned these Amber Moon Design and Anne Robin wedding invitations, which also included blackberry illustrations plus berry tones throughout.
Berry Brunch Food
Don't forget how good berries taste! Here, The Detailed Look served mini pancakes with raspberry toppers, which were both adorable and delicious. Try something similar for a brunch reception.
Strawberry Bouquet
Thought strawberries were too big to incorporate into bouquets? Think again. These Watered Garden Florist bridesmaid clutches showcased the red fruit.
Blackberry Cake
Dulce de Leche decorated this couple's natural naked wedding cake with berries and foliage.
Blackberry Cupcakes
For smaller sweets, try bite-sized berry cupcakes, like these ones baked by The Cupcake Shoppe.
Blueberry Accents
Serve berries and decorate with them, like Frontier Flowers of Fontana and Regine Danielle Events did here. Plates of fruit sat at each place setting, while additional blueberries were scattered on the table runner.
Blackberry Cocktail
Infuse your booze with something sweet, like berries! This couple served blackberry-flavored Moscow mules.
Berry Tableware
At this wedding, guests sipped on beverages from adorable teacups with berry patterns.
Blackberry Accents
Berries don't have to be the focal point of your reception centerpieces. These Bee's Wedding & Event Designs arrangements were composed of mostly flowers, aside from a few blackberry stems.
Cranberry Cocktails
These wintry cocktails—complete with cranberry adornments—were beautifully festive for this Christmas-themed wedding.
