Budget beautiful wedding flowers!
CathysWraps are a fun and easy way to dress up your centerpieces and other wedding flower decor, while maximizing your budget!
Nicole used her gorgeous wedding flowers for the wedding ceremony, reception and beyond.
"CathysWraps were, by far, my favorite decoration!" We had them along the aisle in the church and then supplemented our hall decorations and put them everywhere. Even at my mom's house the next day, we had them strung along the fence and around the yard when people were dropping by to the farewell barbecue. They truly are brilliant!

Pretty practical party decor, flowers vases, cupcake wrappers and more!
I make fun vases and matching cupcake wrappers. The vases adapt to hang fresh flowers from wedding aisles and the standard size cupcake wraps fit bite size pies and muffins. CathyWraps cupcake wrappers are made with re-use in mind! Not satisfied with poor quality wraps that don't close properly, I make my flirty scallop cupcake wraps from high quality grease proof paper. I illustrated the paisley patterns and artfully arranged each polka dot.
I encourage you to re-use my cupcake wrappers as many times as possible before recycling. Hand wash under warm water, dry with care and store flat, to use them again and again!
My wrappers fit average cupcakes; both home baked and store bought cupcakes will nestle easily into place. If held in one hand; your cupcake will not slip out the bottom and my unique tab closure will never open accidentally!

How to hang flowers and bows on church pews without damaging wire or tape.
Doey's Bow and Flower Vase Pew Clips are flexible and non-scratching.
Believe it, or not, but people used to use duct tape to attach flowers to the church pews and that's precisely why my mother, Doey, invented this pew clip - to hang fresh flowers and bows from church pews without damaging the pew. Just arrange your wedding flowers in the light weight plastic pot and nestle into sleeve. Add Doey's pew clip and stretch over pew. Fits up to 2.5" standard pews. If your church doesn't allow pew clips or your pews are thicker than average, hang the vases with a length of ribbon slipped over the back or side of the pew.After the ceremony, reuse the wedding aisle arrangements at the reception. If you're having cupcakes, mix & match our coordinating cupcakes wrappers and picks for beautiful table top displays.
How to make pretty AND practical wedding decorations!
from a pretty practical gal
We all know, re-using wedding flowers at the reception saves money and reduces waste, but many times the logistics of removing and transporting cumbersome vases hinders brides from putting the idea to practice. Our solution: a lightweight faux vase made from a plastic pot and decorative paper sleeve.Another idea to stretch a wedding flower budget is to alternate rows of wedding aisle flowers with a row of hand tied bows secured to Church Pews with Doey's Bow Clips or tied to aisle chairs.
After the wedding ceremony, reuse the aisle decorations as reception table centerpieces on the cocktail tables, cake tables, in the powder room and the entryways. Just imagine the possibilities!
No one need know you're reusing your wedding flowers at the reception.
These wedding flowers transform almost magically from aisle décor to reception centerpiece
Shh. . . these flowers were church decorations 30 minutes earlier. CathysWraps light weight vases were removed from the wedding pews and transported to the reception. Later that evening, they were given away as wedding favors. Wedding Aisle Decorations one minute become Reception Decorations the next!
You can never have too many flowers.
Flowers used to decorate the wedding aisles were transferred to the reception and intermixed with cupcakes in coordinating colors. Mix and match cupcake displays with flowers and send your guests home with truly unique favors.

Make your own DIY Party Decorations and Birthday Flower Bouquets.
It's fun to customize flowers to fit the occasion.
Make a unique and special gift by grabbing a potted plant or fresh flowers from your garden or the grocery store. Decorate by adding a special message or a picture to present a truly unique gift of flowers. We love to get crafty and embellish the vases with waterproof stamps, stickers, trinkets and glitz. All you need is a little imagination to create a one-of-a-kind keepsake flower pot.Here's an idea for creating a Gerbera Daisy centerpiece.
Tips for arranging and transporting wedding flowers to the reception.
CathysWraps fill the bill for so many occasions.
Bobbi Ecker-Blatchford AIFD PFCI AAF recommends using saturated floral foam that's been cut and nestled in the cathyswraps pots. Leave about 1" to 2" from the top to accommodate design space. It's best to drain excess water from the cup to protect the wrap when transporting the flowers. Arrange your flowers and wrap it up with CathysWraps reversible decorative sleeve.If you choose to skip the floral foam, support your flowers by crisscrossing rows of floral tape sticking the tape to the sides of the pot. This creates a mesh to hold the flowers stems in place, keeping flower arranging simple. Be careful if you are transporting the flowers and add water after you get to the party.
Share your tips about transporting your wedding flowers and centerpieces and we'll post them here.
Personalize flowers with embellishments, monograms and creativity.
For crafty florists and do-it-yourself gardeners
ALL YOU NEED IS:A curl of ribbon.
White paper.
A CathysWraps vase.
A glue gun.
And of course, flowers!
How to make a flower vase for dads and significant others: Fold a ribbon in the shape of a tie and attach it a vase with a hot glue gun. Here we used our black and white polka dot vase. Cut a collar from a piece of white paper and glue it to the vase.
Just add flowers and you have a whimsical gift for your guy on his special day.
Versatile eco-friendly wedding flower vases by cathyswraps
It's smart to recycle your flowers, create continuity and save money.
CathysWraps vase and wraps are light weight and reusable by transporting flowers from the wedding to reception easyfirst at the ceremony, at the reception and as wedding favors.But if you do have any left, ship the pots and pew clips back to us. We'll refund the cost of shipping and reuse the pots and pew clips. It's simple, easy and good for the environment. Or, keep the pots and wraps to reuse as a pencil holder and just return the pew clips.
I'd like to share a valuabIe educational resource for entrepreneurs.

- Monograms make great additions to centerpieces. Use the couple's monogram: her first name initial, followed by the surname larger in the center, and then his first name initial.
