In addition to the flowers you carry on your wedding day, you’ll want to decorate the ceremony site and the tables at the reception with flowers. An inexpensive method is to tie big bows for the ends of the pews and thread them with baby’s breath or greenery. Save the big flower arrangements for the altar, and be sure to assign someone to carry them to the reception so they can double as background beauty there as well.

Set an arrangement on the buffet table, the cake table, and the head table where the wedding party sits. Let the bride’s and bridesmaids’ bouquets double as  centerpieces for the main table or decorate the cake table at the reception.
