Our Top Tips for Using Moss in Your Wedding Decor

• Moss can be bought all year round although it is most readily available at the market or garden centre in spring and summer when it is sold in bags ready for lining hanging baskets. It also comes in during the winter for covering wreaths.
• Your florist will be able to order it in for you but if you fancy using it for a wedding DIY project then look to your local garden centre for large bags.
• There are a few options you can choose from when buying moss. You can find fresh moss or naturally preserved moss which is already dried. You can by loose sphagnum moss (peat moss) or moss which comes as sheets.
• Moss is a great option for a winter wedding or, as a more budget-friendly alternative to flowers.
• If you're opting for ornate centrepieces or a full instillation, don't DIY, get in touch with one of our recommended florists who'll be happy to create something special.
