Ceremony flowers may be used to
personalize your ceremony site. They
are usually beautiful bouquets of flowers that help to decorate
the altar and/or podium, and often are brought to the reception
site after the ceremony.

|
Traditionally, there are flower arrangements
on either side of the alter. These tend to be on the larger side, so that they can
be seen from afar.

If you're having an outside wedding, you may
want to consider renting a
trellis. They come in a variety of shapes and
sizes. Many florists rent these and will decorate them with your wedding colors.

You may want to decorate the pews with a
simple ribbon and flower arrangement. You may also use these to mark reserved seats
for special guests.

After the Ceremony
|
|
After the ceremony, there are many
options for the flowers. Below are some suggestions:
|
|
|
-
Have a
family member or guest bring
the bouquet to the reception to use as a centerpiece on the gift or
reception card table.
-
Deliver them to a nursing home or hospital for someone else to
enjoy.
-
Deliver them to a
sick friend or relative who could not attend your wedding.
-
If there is a service
the next day, they may be left behind.
