Host: How do I get the most out of my flowers?

Gerry Rogers: Reuse your flowers and you will get your most out of them. For example, your bridesmaids bouquets, you might put them around the cake table and save a great deal in terms of adding extra decor to that table. If you have ceremony arrangements that you can take with you whether from the church or if you are getting married outside, put them on the buffet table or repurpose them some where else in your reception site, but reuse things from your ceremony. If you have flowers down the aisle, maybe put them on the backs of the head tables chairs, that's another way to reuse.
