Repurposing the bridal bouquet needs to take into consideration timing. Overall, couples must keep in mind the photographer will want to take lots of photos of the bride with her bridal bouquet after the ceremony, and the bridal bouquet will not be arriving at the reception venue before many of the guests arrive.
The bridal bouquet can be displayed after the ceremony on the welcome table, gift table, memory table, or escort card table. You can show bridal bouquets placed in a tall vase behind the guest book or escort cards.īridal bouquets placed in a shorter vase can be placed in the center or front of a table so that the flowers aren't lost. The vase's size used to display the bridal bouquet depends on the length of the stems on the bouquet.Ī bouquet with short stems will look best in a glass cylinder vase about 5’ to 7’ high.Ī bouquet with long stems will do best in a taller glass vase so it doesn't topple over. Practical Tips for Repurposing a Bridal Bouquet: When discussing the options for repurposing ceremony flowers for reception use with clients, consider the following types of arrangements: Since most couples have never been in a position to hire a floral designer and don't know what is required to create floral décor, it’s helpful to lead them in understanding the floral design process and what will (or will not) work when they want to make the most of every bloom.
However, I am also honest with clients during the initial design consultation about considerations. Repurposing ceremony flowers for receptions can add up to potential cost savings.
As an experienced floral designer, one of the most common questions I’ve received from clients over the years is, "How can I save money on my wedding flowers?"įor couples who don't want to skimp on blooms and want large arrangements filled with an array of beautiful flowers, I like to offer plenty of ideas for reusing bouquets and floral arrangements from the ceremony for the reception.
