If you are looking for a way to save money on your flowers for the reception, here is a great idea. Instead of buying flowers especially for the bride and grooms table repurpose the bouquets from the wedding. Have vases set out along the table and place the bridesmaids’ bouquets and your wedding bouquet in the vases. Decorate in-between the vases with tons of votive candles. Another option is to pile all of the bridesmaids’ bouquets in the middle of the table and place your on top. It will become a beautiful mound of flowers. You would also surround these with votives, to make it blend with the rest of the decorations. This is a great way to repurpose your bouquets and get your money’s worth! Idea from my girls at the Knot!

Warm up a winter wedding by creating an atmosphere of romance. A ton of candles will create this atmosphere with a far less coast than flowers. Arrange tea lights around your flowers or on your tables. Have pillar candles in various heights in special spots around your wedding. Use floating candles in a bowl with Rose blossoms, is a striking centerpiece. A great and unique way to make an impression is to light the pathway of your guests with candles. Arrange candles in Plexiglas boxes on the porch deck and hang then from the roof with ribbon, lighting a scenic path for guests departing the reception.
