Your wedding flowers are a key part of your big day: bringing beauty, elegance and romance to your ceremony and reception. A thoughtfully created floral arrangement can elevate your space, and create a lasting impression on you and your guests. By designing floral installations that can be easily moved, you'll not only maximise your budget but create a cohesive aesthetic throughout your wedding day.
Continue reading to learn the best ways to repurpose your ceremony flowers to the reception, ensuring they make an impact all day long!
GREAT WAYS TO REPURPOSE YOUR CEREMONY FLOWERS TO YOUR RECEPTION
Some floral designs lend themselves perfectly to being reused after the ceremony. Here are some of my favourite options:
Plinths with urns or footed bowls are a great example. These designs can be moved to sit behind the top table; creating a gorgeous backdrop for speeches and photos.
They could also be used at a doorway, to welcome guests as they move through to the reception area or beside a cake or sweetheart table.
The picture above shows the reception table flowers being used as a ceremony backdrop. With the addition of some muslin fabric and velvet ribbons, a very elegant and romantic backdrop was created.
Moongates or floral columns can be moved if they have been designed with that in mind. A good florist willl be able to chat over the options with you to help get the most out of your budget, and make your flowers work really hard for you on the day.
THE BEST FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR REPURPOSING
Floral meadows or freestanding aisle arrangements not only look amazing but can be very easily relocated. Use them to decorate the ends of long banquetting tables, along the edge or the front of the top table, the cake table, under the table plan, on the bar or on the guest tables.
WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN REPURPOSING FLOWERS
While many ceremony florals can be reused, some designs are bettter left in place. If something like a moongate or arch has been designed to be carefully moved, thats fine. If not, it may well be heavy and dangerous/difficult to move.
If the ceremony flowers have been used outside on a hot or windy day, some delicate flowers may be wilted or dislodged. Plan accordingly and treat repurposed flowers as a bonus rather than a necessity.
Not all ceremony arrangements will fit seamlessly into the reception. Each installation is designed with a specific purpose in mind so only reuse pieces that will enhance the reception area.
There are lots of ways you can make the most of your wedding flowers by reusing them. Chat to your florist, about your vision, priorites and budget. They will be able to provide expert ideas and advice on what will work for your venue and overall design.
