Bouquets @ Reception!

Just wondering what you ladies are doing with your bouquets during the reception.  My bouquet and my bridesmaids' bouquets are all quite large and will look like too much laid on the table during dinner... Any suggestions?  I've heard of the bouquet holders that hang over the front of the table but I can't find any online!  Need suggestions please!

    My H and I sat at a sweetheart table for our reception and I just put my bouquet in a smaller size vase. Although the table where my bridesmaids sat at already had a centerpiece, the florist still set out containers for them to place their bouquets. Picture is below to give you an idea. I think it worked out quite well. Good luck!

    I will have the only bouquet, so I may end up putting it in a vase on either the cake table or our dinner table.

    We are putting them in wine bottles (we're using them as vases) that will be set up on the table.

    I just laid mine on our sweetheart table, no vase.  Pretty sure the BM laid theirs on their tables too.

    If you are looking for a way to skimp out on table centerpieces, put empty vases on some of the tables (depending on bouquet to table ratio) and when you walk into the reception have your BMs put their bouquets in the vases.

    We normally have the BMs lay them around the cake. I've never noticed what the bride did with hers. I'm guessing on the table where the b&g sat for a few seconds to eat. we don't normally have sit down dinners down here. just buffets and eat when you want, cocktail style w/o seating for all.

    Go to Google and search for  Bouquet Display.  I saw several liknks for the table display holders you might be looking for.  I was just thinking of this.  I like the idea of doing double duty with the bouquets - for ceremony and decoration at reception.  Please let me know if you find what you end up using.

    We are going to get bouquet clips and put the bouquets around the cake table. When you search look for bouquet clips not holders. You can find them all over the place like Hobby Lobby Michaels etc. HTH
