Your Herts and Beds Wedding - June/July 2024 (Issue 104)

HOT TOPIC Local experts offer stellar advice on wedding dilemmas BIG-DAY BLOOMS How can I get the best out of my wedding floral budget? Flowers are expensive; they’re very labour-intensive in growing and creating wonderful wedding designs, so the best way to get the most out of them is to try to use them for more than one job at a wedding. This works well if you’re having both your ceremony and reception at the same wedding venue. So, a flower arrangement for the registrar’s table and meadow designs on the aisle can be used afterwards on the top table, and table centerpiece flowers could be used to decorate the aisle. Pew ends in little bottles can become part of a tablescape or be used to decorate windows or the bar area. Pedestals and broken column designs can be moved to decorate the reception room. Making your florist aware will help them design arrangements that can be easily moved and reused. You will also need to discuss your plans with the venue to see if they’ll move things for you or if your ushers or bridesmaids need to assist. Reusing flowers can sometimes be risky. For example, if you use table flowers to line the aisle and they get knocked over, you might miss a table centrepiece!
