Non Floral Centerpieces

While doing research for an upcoming wedding I came across non-floral centerpieces that are tasteful, elegant and environmentally responsible. Understand that I'm not trying to put florists out of business, I love using flowers but I also like to mix up designs and non-floral elements throughout the wedding.

I often scour antique stores or flea markets for ideas or unique containers which can be purchased for less than the cost to rent. Use your imagination but don't get carried away and let your wedding look like the Church ladies decorated.

Here are several examples found on Martha Stewart Weddings. Check out her website for a complete description and instructions.

Recycling Ceremony Flowers

A commitment we make to couples who hire us is to get the most out of the flowers we use for both the ceremony and reception. In these next few photos check out the ceremony displays...they're magnificent but they're also recycled for the reception and do not look out of place. I love it when we can find new uses for "previously-viewed" flowers.
