bouquets as centerpieces

[rewolf]

I need a clever way to integrate the bridesmaid bouquets into centerpieces at very little cost.
Right now I have the Maids themselves plunck their bouquet into a glass centerpiece vessel which is surrounded by little vases of flowers. But, what other ideas do my fellow FC'ers have to make a bouquet look like it has enough volume for an 8-10top round. Keep in mind that a very low budget is the driving force here. Thanks in advance.

mokara orchid petals on vase ribbon on vase (used oasis tape backwards to adhere and a little oasis glue for petals) sprinkles petals on table you could also put on votives or use lemon leaf magnolia...Hope this helped

I don't know if this will help, but we've done this sort of thing quite often -- make a typical table centerpiece with just foliage and maybe a little something for colour (statice, waxflower, whatever suits), bury a small vase or even a plastic container in the centerpiece with some water in it, and have the bridesmaids drop their bouquets into it.

Moss

You can drape moistened sheetmoss around the edge of a medium ceramic or clay pot and drop the boquuets into it. Its super cheap without looking cheap or tacky...Make sure you roll it under the edge cleanly so it's not all Halloween looking.
