One of the best ways to make the most of your wedding flowers is to repurpose them from the ceremony to the reception. This not only maximises the value of your floral investment but also ensures that your beautiful blooms are enjoyed throughout the entire event.
Repurposing wedding floral designs depends greatly on the style and mechanics of the installation. Not every arrangement is easily transferable, especially those with intricate designs or specific installations that are intended to be fixed in one location.
Here’s how you can seamlessly transition your wedding florals from one part of the day to the other:
Ceremony Arch or Backdrop as a reception feature
If you have a floral arch or backdrop at your ceremony, consider moving it to the reception area to serve as a photo backdrop or bridal table backdrop.
Aisle Florals as Table centrepieces
The floral arrangements used to line the aisle during the ceremony can be repurposed as table accents at the reception. Simply move them to the reception area and place them on the guest tables, bar area, or even as part of a floral display. This approach helps create a cohesive floral theme throughout your wedding.
Things to consider
The nature of the florals designs will effect their relocatability
Relocation of designs is typically done during cocktail hour, or in the time between your ceremony and reception.
Consider where your guests will be after the ceremony to insure they are not disturbed when the florists relocate the florals.
Insure you allocate enough time for your florists to relocate florals. The time will vary greatly depending on the scale and quantity of the designs.
