EIO Photo | | | Just as with the wedding ceremony, flowers are used to personalize a reception site. Flowers can be used to transform a plain room into a romantic chamber. |
|
|
|
| Centerpieces are placed on the guest tables and on the head table. The head table's arrangement is usually a bit larger than the guest tables. Some ideas for centerpieces are: |
|
- Vase of tea roses
- Hurricane lamp surrounded by flowers
- Glass dish with a floating candle, surrounded by flowers
- Flower arrangement with wedding colors
- A bouquet of balloons
- Topiaries (see topiaries for instructions)
- Use candles that have dried flowers inside the wax for the centerpieces.
|
|
| Prior to the wedding, you should decide what will happen to the centerpieces after the reception. You may decide to give them to specific guests or to randomly select a guest from each table. |
|
|
| Not only can flowers be used to decorate the head table, entranceway to the reception or as centerpieces but they can also be used in many other ways such as: |
|
- The wedding cake may be displayed with a ring of flowers surrounding it or you can use real flower petals to decorate your wedding cake.
- Decorate the gift table, guest book table and champagne table with a nice arrangement of flowers.
- Place a flower arrangement in the ladies room.
- You can use edible flowers in some beverages (such as lemonade, punch or iced tea).
- Have pressed flowers placed under a sheer tablecloth.
- Give a small potted plant to each guest as a favor.
- The bride may choose to wear flowers in her hair.
