When it comes to wedding symbolism, circles are fairly universal. They're spatially infinite and represent wholeness, totality, and perfection. You'd be hard-pressed to find a shape that better epitomizes your union with your spouse-to-be—which is why many modern couples are actually incorporating circle details into their ceremony and reception décor. The result? Floral- and-greenery packed hoop details that are just as beautiful as they are meaningful.

Take the following circle décor ideas from real weddings, for example. From in-bloom hoop ceremony backdrops to the prettiest bridesmaid bouquet alternatives and everything in between, these inspired, on-trend details are bound to make a poignant impression. The best part? There's a way to make these details work whatever your wedding style—and whatever time of year you decide to walk down the aisle. Although many of these options showcase pretty blooms, there are plenty of ways to dial the hoop trend down, too. Take notes from one couple and opt for a circular straw arrangement, instead, or else stick with rings of leafy greens. They look creates just as much impact without being too overwhelming.

Ultimately, these pretty hoops bring a bit of intrigue to virtually any part of your wedding—your head-table, outdoor tent, and reception lounge included. Whether you're setting up a circular swing for your guests to sway on, putting a twist on classic place card presentation, or simply dressing up your venue, these hoop wedding details are sure to bring individuality, meaning, and a whole lot of pretty to your big day.
