Bridal bouquets as headtable centerpiece?

Melissa, on November 22, 2013 at 2:53 AM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 20

So I want my head table to be fairly simple but elegant. I am considering using the bridal party's bouquets and my bouquet as the main centerpiece on our head table (placed in front of where FH and I will sit) with my table runners and also square mirrors with votives and flower petals on both sides of the bouquets. As well as use Christmas icicle lights under the table skirt as shown below. What do you think?

    Beautiful! I couldn't decide whether or not to use vases or just lay them as I have in the picture. I didn't want them to be too tall and block people from seeing us so I finally decided on just laying them at the edge of the table in front of us. I know the table will look plain until we arrive at the reception but that's ok I guess LOL.

    Yep! We did that. We got a lot of compliments. Granted, 2 of my BMs left their bouquets in the hotel room and I only had mine and one other...

    We're definitely using all of the bridal party bouquets to decorate the reception. Might as well get as much use out of them as you can!

    No idea... I really don't care... all that I know for certain is that we will have the "Mr." and "Mrs." signs somewhere.

    Perfect! We're doing the same - well, either that or decorating the cake table with it.

    Makes sense. I ended up ordering these bouquet holders. Not sure which table Im going to put them on, but I didn't want the bouquets to just get tossed aside.

    I'm planning on using the bouquets on our head table also. It's a great way to save some money and then the flowers are on display also.

    I plan on using them as well. I am also planning on 2-4 larger arrangements of flowers (silk) that will decorate the ceremony. I will be having them taken to the reception for decoration of maybe gift table or candy buffet or something. Not sure yet. The smaller ones I am planning for back of alter and maybe pews will somehow be worked in also.

    I’ve also seen the bouquets at the head table in vases. It looked really cute.
