First Holy Communion - which flowers to choose?

First Holy Communion is an important day in the life of the whole family. For this reason, it calls for a fitting setting. Elegant yet subtle decorations appear both in the church where the ceremony takes place and at home or in a function room, where guests accompanying the child on this momentous occasion are invited. Until recently, fresh flowers were the most popular choice for decorations. Nowadays, however, they are increasingly being replaced by dried flowers.

Dried flowers for First Communion – why are they a good idea?

Dried flowers have a host of advantages. Among the most important are their durability and beautiful appearance. Thanks to modern drying methods, the plants retain their colour and shape. It is worth noting that dyed dried flowers are also available, allowing you to tailor the decor even more closely to the occasion. Another key point is that they are virtually maintenance-free. In practice, this means you can prepare the decorations well in advance without worrying that the flowers will lose their lustre on the day of the ceremony.

Colours of flowers for First Communion decorations

When it comes to dried flowers chosen for First Holy Communion decorations, white blooms are the most popular. They are versatile - they suit every child. White is not only elegant, but also symbolises purity and delicacy, making it a perfect fit for the occasion. Dried flowers in delicate pastel shades are also an excellent choice. In this case, you can follow tradition by choosing flowers in shades of powder pink for a girl and blue varieties for a boy. A good option is to choose dried flowers in soft green tones, which suit both boys and girls. They also work perfectly when siblings are receiving their First Communion.

Which types of dried flowersare best for a First Communion?

The types of flowers that are becoming most popular in the First Communion decorations category are:

In white: ammobium, glixia, botao, gypsophila, helichrysum, acroclinium and gomphrena. You could also opt for dried anaphalis, whose flowers resemble pearls, or exceptionally elegant preserved hydrangeas, asparagus and bleached fern fronds. Among the grasses, the following are worth noting: lagurus and phalaris, as well as bleached grains: triticale, wheat, avena and sorghum.
In pink: gypsophila, helichrysum, acroclinium, delphinium, as well as dyed glixia, linum, botao, broom bloom and preserved asparagus. Dyed grasses also look stunning: timothy, phalaris, setaria, stipa and the iconic lagurus, as well as grains: pink triticale and avena.
In shades of blue and light blue: dyed glixia, linum and grasses: lagurus, phalaris, and stipa.
In green: dyed botao, linum and lepidium, as well as preserved eucalyptus, asparagus and dyed grasses in shades of mint: lagurus, triticale, phalaris and avena.

It’s worth remembering that First Communion decorations look best with gold or silver accents. In this regard, ruscus leaves and palm leaves work particularly well, as do delicate, highly decorative dried pepper and sprigs of chasmanthium.

Dried flowers for decorating the church for First Communion

The versatility of dried flowers lies in the fact that they can be incorporated into a wide variety of First Communion decorations. A striking bouquet made up of several different types of plants is perfect for decorating the altar. The advantage of this solution is that it will retain its original appearance, regardless of the temperature inside the church. The same dried flowers can be used to create decorations for the pews or to adorn the church entrance. Anyone wondering what to give the catechist as a thank-you for preparing the children for their First Communion should consider a beautiful arrangement of dried flowers, which will be a delight to the eye for many months to come.

How to decorate the venue and tables for a First Communion? - dried flowers are an excellent choice

Dried flowers also make excellent decorations for the home or a function room – in other words, places where First Communion guests will gather. You can place them in vases and arrange them in various parts of the room or on the tables. Individual sprigs will look wonderful alongside the table settings. There is nothing to stop you from placing dried flowers in short vases or small bottles to decorate the tables in this way. The advantage of this approach is that they will not get in the way of guests as they chat or reach for their food. It’s also worth noting that tiny bouquets of dried flowers make lovely little gifts for First Communion guests.

Dried flowers in First Communion wreaths and small bouquets for a photo shoot

Dried flowers are an excellent choice when it comes to accessories for a child’s outfit. They can easily be woven into a First Communion wreath. This is a far more elegant solution than artificial flowers and more durable than fresh ones. This way, the wreath will retain its beautiful appearance not only during the First Communion ceremony, but also throughout the week following it. It’s also worth making a small bouquet from dried flowers, which can serve as a ‘prop’ for a photo shoot.
