Repurposing Ceremony and Bouquets for Head Table

Oh okay cool! Haha yeah because I started thinking of the lanterns and it would be funny if all of the sudden everyone is carrying out a lantern on the way out haha. I think as long as they're placed by our DOC during cocktail hour then it should be fine.

At a friends wedding and again at my sisters wedding, all of us bridesmaids put our bouquets in vases on the head table as decor. We're repurposing our ceremony decor to decorate for cocktail hour, the venue staff is just going to move them right after the recessional while everyone is getting drinks at the cocktail hour start

Oh that is absolutely beautiful! I think that's what we'll do. Thank you!

Another vote for totally fine. At my friend's wedding, she didn't have us repurpose our bouquets, she already had florals on the tables and we naturally just put our bunches there when we sat down and it was a LOT. Like could barely fit place settings around all the flowers, haha! So I think it will be no problem.

Haha yeah. I think having vases on the table for the bouquets is a good way to get them off of the bridesmaid's hands. Who wants to hold them all night long?! At the very least, have the DOC just take them away.

We repurposed my bridesmaids bouquets as wedding centerpieces!! I had tall wedding centerpieces, low arrangements, and then 7 centerpieces were actually bridesmaid bouquets with scattered votive candles and mini vases!

Here's a bridesmaid bouquet centerpiece from my wedding:

Beautiful! Is it the big floral centerpiece or the small one in the bowl thing? Just wondering what type of vase I should be using

The bouquet is the big one in the middle!

Shoot I don't remember what kind of vases! They were supplied by my florist.

But I'd think a taller vase would be needed to keep the bouquets upright!
