Wedding Flower Arrangements - Points to Remember
Many people get stressed over what to include - and what not to include - for their wedding flower arrangements when it comes to dressing the tables for the reception. But it helps enormously to remember that it's not just the flowers that help to make a stunning reception welcome, it's what you put them in as well.
It's good to remember that vases are not the only option when it comes to displaying your wedding flower arrangements, and depending on the size of your displays you can be as creative as you like when trying to think of something more unusual and different to use at your own wedding.
Size Matters
From the smallest simply designed glass vase to the biggest terracotta pot you can find that won't collapse the table, there are plenty of options to choose from when deciding how to display your wedding flower arrangements.
The main factor to bear in mind, however, is that you don't want to obscure your guests' view of each other around the table. Try not to have too many tall displays that people won't be able to see over. You can also vary the sizes of the vases you use; they don't all have to be identical and sometimes a little variation can really bring out the best in your wedding flower arrangements.
Remember that if you are using clear glass vases for your wedding flower arrangements, make sure they are cleaned properly and displayed as close to the start of the wedding as possible. This will ensure the water doesn't go cloudy. The portion of the flowers themselves that go into the water should be trimmed of all leaves and excess stalks to easily create a better looking display that will stay looking good for the duration of the wedding.
If you like the idea of single central wedding flower arrangements on each table, you could also add a handful of mini arrangements as well. This works best on long tables; have the central display in the middle, and then dot a few miniature displays which reflect the main display down to each end of the table. This can work extremely well when done correctly.
Wedding flower arrangements often involve making lots of decisions about what flowers should be chosen, which ones will be in bloom at the time of year, and which ones are your favorites. But you don't need to be too elaborate when designing your tables. Sometimes a more simple design is the best route to take.
