Host: What are some of the unique ways to use flowers at my ceremony and reception?

Gerry Rogers: Nowadays florists are really thinking outside of the box in terms of the ways that flowers might be incorporated into the wedding. In addition to just the flowers themselves and even some exotic flowers or unusual floral elements, they are also thinking about non-floral things that might be incorporated into your wedding, which are feathers or fruits, vegetable, specialty vases like colored squares or some unique urns that might really capture the feel of your wedding. All of these go a long way to really giving your wedding a unique feel.
