Once the bridal bouquet and ceremony flowers are chosen, it's
time to focus on what type of wedding reception flowers you may
use. You'll need to look at food tables, guest tables, the head
table, as well as decorating accents throughout the room.
However, you don't need to use only flowers. There are a wide
variety of choices of greenery that can also be put to good use.
First, you must understand where larger flower arrangements are
appropriate... and where they are not. The more elaborate floral
arrangements can be used on buffet tables, cake tables, on
stands near the entrance and staircases, and close to the band
or DJ. These types of arrangements, however, should not be used
on guest tables or the head table as they are too large and will
block the view of the guests.
Table centerpieces created from flowers should be kept low and
small. Make sure they compliment the overall color scheme and
theme of the wedding. Nor do all the table centerpieces have to
be identical. A unique and interesting idea would be to use a
variation in the types of flowers, yet with the same color
scheme.
Small bud vases are best used on guest tables. A great
combination wedding favor and table centerpiece idea would be to
cluster small vases with a single flower in each. After the
wedding, the guests can take home one of the bud vases as a
wedding favor.
If you can not afford to use many large floral arrangements,
choose 2 or 3 for the buffet tables or other key area and
decorate the rest of the room using balloon bouquets, tree
branches with twinkling lights or rented palm and/or ficus trees.
Edible bouquets are also very popular for table centerpieces.
Spun sugar sculptures, fruit baskets and miniature tiered
wedding cakes also serve a dual purpose as a table decoration
and wedding favors... or as dessert at the end of the meal.
Here are a few more wedding "flower" bouquet ideas you may want
to consider:
- Wedding wishes cookie bouquets - Milk chocolate long Stem
roses candy bouquets - Twinkle pop/lollipop bouquets
As you can see, you can incorporate many "floral" bouquet ideas
into your wedding scheme without breaking the bank. Large floral
arrangements are beautiful to look at, but they can also be very
expensive. Consider some of the alternatives to help save money,
yet still create unique flower arrangements that will delight
your guests.
