Wedding Details That Work Overtime

 

There are many, many things that go into designing the perfect wedding. Did you know that many of them can serve more than one purpose? Discover all of the ways in which wedding details can serve double duty.

A big part of wedding planning is pulling together all of the details, large and small. As any bride knows, the costs can quickly add up. Spend less by getting more out of the things you buy. De-clutter the dinner tables with menus that have names on them to show guests where to sit. Customized menus are a very fancy looking personal touch; nobody will ever guess you did them so you could skip making placecards. It is just ideal.

The centerpieces are always a big part of the wedding budget, but they also offer an ideal opportunity to have one thing do two jobs. A tower of tasty edible treats is a terrific alternative to the usual vase of roses on the dinner tables. Place a tall 3 tier stand on the table and fill it with little tea cookies, frosted sweets, and other treats. Your friends and family will definitely enjoy centerpieces they can eat more than flowers they can only look at. Some types of table decorations can also be made into favors to hand out at the end of the night. Decorate the middle of each table with ten small pots of herbs that guests can take home after the reception. It is a cute centerpiece idea and the kind of useful wedding favor that guests appreciate.

Favors in general are an ideal thing to press into double duty. A perfect single piece of seasonal fruit on each plate can be the favor and placecard if you tie a nametag to it. For a winter wedding, hang pretty ornaments from a tree. All you need to do is hang a tag with a name and table number to each ornament to have a beautiful seating card. Everyone loves a wedding favor they can use over and over, such as beautiful holiday ornaments. This is a terrific wedding planning idea that will add charm to your wedding while also making your life easier.

It is surprising how few brides think to reuse their ceremony flowers for the second half of the wedding. The altar arrangements would look marvelous displayed on a table in the entryway of the reception site. Brides often tie flowers to the seats at the ceremony, and those can easily be reused to decorate reception chairs. They don’t have to go on each and every chair, but at least use them for the bride and groom’s seats. Think of ways to recycle the bridesmaids’ bouquets as well. Small bouquets can be placed in vases to decorate the bar, the gift table, or even the ladies’ room. Kissing balls are charming bridesmaid flowers that can be reused at the reception. If you think about it, why not repurpose your decor instead of just leaving it behind at the church?

A little creativity is all it takes to get your wedding details to do double duty for you. It is a fantastic way to save time, money, and also make your wedding less wasteful. How many other ideas can you come up with to save money by using double duty wedding details?
