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.
