I have couples all the time tell me, “we would rather spend our money
at the reception than the ceremony since we are only going to take 20
minutes to get married”. In actual fact your ceremony flowers are for
your guests to enjoy seeing as they will be sitting there for more time
than you will be standing there at the altar.
One of the best things that your florist can do for you when you are
talking about your florals is to make suggestions as to how you can
repurpose your ceremony flowers at your reception.
If it is an outdoor ceremony, you may have something garnishing a
pergola or arbour, that can then be reused as décor on the head table.
If the ceremony is taking place indoors, you may choose to have floral
pieces created to sit on pillars or self-standing on either side of the
altar. These can then be transferred and used on either side of the main
entrance to your reception venue.
Floral arrangements placed down the aisle beside the pews or
chairs can then be placed on guest tables back at the reception as
centerpieces. There are many ways that your florist can create your
ceremony pieces to be repurposed, don’t be afraid to ask.
The only time that I would not recommend repurposing your
ceremony flowers is when your timeline between ceremony and
reception is too tight. You never want to see a vendor weaving items
through your cocktail hour and disrupting your guests. In this case, you
may want to repurpose your ceremony flowers the following day for
your wedding brunch.
When you are meeting your florist for the first time, make sure to have
pictures of things you like and things you do not like. This will help the
florist narrow down your style and preferences in order to help you
put together a beautiful wedding.
Don’t forget to have fun and let the professionals take care of you!
