Smart Use of Flowers at Your Reception

Flowers will always be an important part of the look of your wedding and reception. Tall floral centerpieces have become linked with platinum weddings in recent years. You can have these type of floral centerpieces if you are willing to get your friends and family to put these together for you with flowers you have bought from a wholesale florist or your local supermarket. A tall floral centerpiece does not have to have every flower placed in an exact display; in fact a free form display has a lot of charm. If you have tall centerpieces made at a florist you can look at 0-0 each depending on the flowers you choose.

By doing these yourself they should cost under each including the tall vases you will need. Look for tall centerpiece vases online as you will find they are much cheaper than your retail outlets. I priced tall vases at a discount store and these vases started at for a thin, fragile vases. If you have an X design layout for your tables you can get away with one large centerpiece at the center of the tables and small centerpieces down each leg of the tables.

Hurricane Vases

Using small round vases and filling them with a cluster of hydrangeas is another easy way to use flowers. It doesn't take professional knowledge to make these. A nice thing about low centerpieces is that your guests will not have their view blocked by your flowers. Adding candles around these centerpieces have lots of ambiance and add that candlelight glow that is so flattering to all women. If you choose to have flowers at a buffet table make sure to choose flowers without scent. You will not want your food and flowers to compete with their odors.

Baby's Breath is very cheap and using clouds of this delicate flower as your main flower and just adding a few other flowers in this type of arrangement can be even more cost effective. Baby's Breath can also be used to form rings around glass containers such as hurricane glass holders.
