What to do with bridal party flowers at a reception…..

Many people take their bridesmaids bouquets and lay them flat on the head table at an angle. This does look nice, but if you want to take extra care of the flowers, here’s an idea that I did at my wedding. My florist actually cut me a good deal on stainless steel vases, which I then had monogrammed with each bridesmaids’ initials. That way, there was a place for the flowers at the reception, and my bridesmaids were able to take a beautiful vase home with them as an added gift plus a great memory of the special day.
