Up the fiber content of your wedding with these kale floral arrangements #Favors & Flowers#bouquet#centerpiece#flowers#non-floral bouquet#non-floral centerpiece Posted Jul 20 2016 Megan Finley Horowitz meggyfin Wedding kale from a vegan planetarium wedding. Photo by Bernie Smith Photography A long time ago, I wrote a reactionary post called "Fuck yeah, kale bouquets." It was a reaction to people talking shit about some people's choices to have my favorite lettuce featured prominently in their weddings. Currently, I am planning a wedding, and I still feel strongly about the power of kale and its rightful place as featured decor. So much so, that I've been rounding up so much kale wedding inspiration, that reading this post might just up your fiber content… Obviously the OG kale bouquet still has my heart.

(From 1800flowers.com, no less!) Photo via Deavita.fr I love this vegetable centerpiece from The Art of Doing Stuff with beet greens, swiss chard, anise flowers, lavender, parsley, carrot tops, and of course, kale.

Although, that second-to-last photo is probably what I'm leaning most towards: a fully edible "floral" arrangement that features a lot of kale. It's fun, funky, and perfect for the wedding of two foodies. Are you planning on incorporating kale into your wedding? How? Where? And can I have some?

Reply I was just wondering about rainbow chard when I got to the second-to-last picture! Purple kohlrabi leaves look beautiful too, as does bronze fennel… Reply Yes, please!
