Pretty Wedding Aisle Flowers Double as Reception Centerpieces

These wedding flowers helped Erin and Chase maximize the floral budget. First, the flowers were hung from Church Pews with Doey's Pew Clips to decorate the wedding ceremony.

Next, they were repurposed as centerpieces at the reception. The lightweight arrangements were easily to transported to the reception.

At the end of the day, the flowers were given away as party favors. Erin and Chase received many compliments on their flowers and the Father of the Bride was overheard to say, "I get all this from just ONE flower arrangement? Gotta LOVE it."

Here are the same wedding ceremony flowers reused as centerpieces on the cocktail tables. At the end of the evening the flowers were given away as wedding favors to special guests.

Monique Wilber, a talented florist and owner of A Special Day Designs has a plan for Brides with reduced budgets. She created these whimsical wedding aisle decorations recently for a bride on a tight budget. She wanted to create ceremony flowers that would do double duty as reception centerpieces. Her Bride was over-the-moon to be able to reuse these aisle decorations as centerpieces. The pink flowers were hung with coordinating ribbons in apple green polka dot vases from CathysWraps. After the wedding ceremony, the aisle decorations were removed and reused as reception centerpieces. They could just as easily have been re-tied to chair backs and hung from doors, windows and mirrors with removable hooks and suction cups.

Where else can you get such versatility from one flower arrangement? Thanks for sharing Monique!
