🎨 2. Scandinavian-Inspired Wedding Decor
Danish architecture is all about clean lines, functionality, and minimalism. Incorporate these elements into your decor:

💡 Less is more! Scandinavian design favors simple yet elegant decor with a focus on quality materials.
💐 3. Floral Arrangements Inspired by Danish Gardens
Scandinavian floral designs are wild, natural, and effortlessly beautiful. Consider:
✔ Dried flowers & grasses – Pampas grass, wheat, and dried roses 🌾
✔ Minimalist floral installations – Simple greenery with seasonal white blooms
✔ Wildflowers & local plants – Use lavender, daisies, or eucalyptus for a fresh Danish touch
