🌸 Maximizing your floral budget: repurpose ceremony arrangements for your reception 🌸
Dreaming of lush, beautiful florals without breaking the bank? Here’s my biggest and best tip: repurpose your ceremony flowers for your reception. With a little planning, you can make your flowers work double duty and create a consistent look throughout your wedding day. Here’s how:
1️⃣ Choose versatile arrangements: for ceremony flowers, ask your florist about designs that are easy to transport and restyle. Think altar arrangements, aisle flowers, or arch/moongate decor that can quickly transform into reception centrepieces, sweetheart table decor, or photo backdrops!
2️⃣ Coordinate with your suppliers: make sure your wedding planner or venue coordinator is aware of the plan. They can arrange for a smooth transition between the ceremony and reception, moving the flowers with minimal fuss. Alternatively, your florist (like me!) can offer a service to stay until after the ceremony to move everything safely and in the best way to make the most of your arrangements.
3️⃣ Think beyond the tables: ceremony florals can be moved to your cake table, gift table, or act as entrance arrangements.
4️⃣ Rework the bouquets: personal bouquets make lovely accent pieces for cocktail tables or around your bar area— I always suggest hiring simple vases from your florist for this purpose.
Your wedding flowers don’t need to stay in one place to make an impact! 🌷💫 With a little creativity, you can maximise your floral investment throughout the day.
