What a Great Idea!

If you don't have enough in your budget for floral centerpieces AND bridesmaids bouquets, I really love this money saving idea.

Have the bridesmaids' hold bouquets during the ceremony, then have the bridesmaids hand them over after the ceremony (before all the guests arrive at the reception) and use them as part of the centerpieces on each table. Its so genius!

Here is an example. I wish I had a better picture of the bouquet, but it was very sunny that day and the light just reflected off the white flowers. But you get the gist of it I hope!

Then after the ceremony was over, the bridesmaids went inside and just placed the bouquets on top of the vases to finish the centerpieces!

A beautiful mix of peonies, hydrangeas, and tulips


They had a few different vase shapes, with leaves folded over as a frame to the flower bouquets, and ribbon tied around each


If you are looking to save some money on the flowers, I hope this inspires and helps you!
