How to Repurpose Your Ceremony Flowers

If you love flowers as much as we do, chances are you're racking your brain for the easiest way to turn your wedding space into a flowery garden. In this guide, we'll be sharing our favorite wedding hacks to make sure your ceremony and reception spaces are full of beautiful florals. 

How to Repurpose a Floral Arch

When it comes to decorating a ceremony space, floral arches are a classic and steadfast choice for their beauty and elegance. Not only that, but the vast styles and colors of floral arches gives each ceremony a unique statement piece!

But what happens when the ceremony is over? Guests are often whisked away to a reception space to begin cocktail hour and the attention becomes fixed on the reception space and socializing with the newlywed couple. Meanwhile, the your floral arch is left behind at the ceremony.

We have an easy remedy to fix this - move your arch to a new location and bring it back to life! Here are some suggestions on how to do this:

  • Place your arch behind your sweetheart or head table - this brings more attention to the new couple while accenting your beautiful flowers
  • Use it to highlight a dessert table. Florals make everything sweeter!
  • Need a photo op? Arches pair perfectly with neon or wooden signs!
  • Add some extra florals to make your cake-cutting photos pop
