So you’re planning out the flowers for your wedding, but you don’t want the ceremony flowers to only be used for an hour! There is a simple solution, repurpose them! Flowers can be super expensive, but it is so worth it! Here are some of our favorite ways to repurpose flowers.
Ceremony flowers in front of the head table
Putting those big aisle runners or other ceremony flowers on the ground in front of the head table is a great way to repurpose them. It brings lots of attention to the head table and gives them a beautiful photo opportunity (as shown above).
2. Bouquets as centerpieces for tables
Oftentimes, we go around and collect bouquets from everyone after pictures are done in order to put them in vases preplaces on the tables. This works great with long farm tables!
3. Bouquets laid around the venue
If the tables don’t need flowers, or you already have flowers for that, we usually lay all the bouquets around the venue to add accents. We will put them on the bar, tables in seating areas, the cake table, or wherever else needs it!
4. Bride’s bouquet on the head table
99% of the time, we put the bride’s bouquet at the head table with her if there is not already a designated centerpiece. Some people prefer it to be laid in the middle, and some like it to be in a vase. This is totally up to personal preference, but it's a great way to reuse it and showcase it for the rest of the night (as shown below)!
