? about bridesmaids bouquets at reception

At most weddings, it seems the bridesmaids bouquets and the bride's bouquet are put on the head table. We're having a sweetheart table and my wedding party is going to be scattered among the guests, all seated at a table where they know people. Any ideas of where to put the bridesmaids bouquets?

    Cake table?  Gift Table?  Maybe let them hang on to them at their respective tables.  That might get crowded and in the way, so stick with the first two.

  • I would either just let them hang onto them (most of my BMs kept theirs) or you could vases set up around the room (on the bar, maybe on the sweetheart table, cake table, gift table) and put them in the vases.
  • Why not make BM bouquets that could double as centerpieces at  the tables??
  • They all kept their bouquets but we had containers for them to take to their seats so they would stay fresh.
  • My bridesmaids are scattered, and their bouquets will double as centerpieces(we made sure they would fit in the vases provided). After that, they can take them home:)

  • My bridesmaids just placed their bouquets on the cake table.  No vases necessary :).

  • At my bff's wedding a couple weeks ago, she had a bunch of vases (from the dollar store!) on the cake table that we all put our flowers in.  That way, they had water and stayed fresh, and served as decorations.  Simple solution.

    My BM's bouquets were used as decor on the dessert table.
  • thanks for all the suggestions!!!
  • The way my room is set up there is a window in the middle of the room (the window is from the old part of the house and they just build on another room around it) so we are putting vases and candles and putting the girls bouquets on that. Find places that you might want to decorate, fireplace, bar...ect

  • My DOC put them on the guest book table, since our sweetheart table and cake table already had decoration. I thought they looked nice there.
  • My friend did a sweetheart. We all lined up the bouquets on the sweetheart table, in the front right next to each other. Looked beautiful.
  • Thank you for posting this question because I was wondering the same thing. Thanks for all the replies too :)
  • Gift, guest book & cake tables make the most sense.
  • Work them into your centerpieces! And then the girls can take them after the reception. Save on flowers!
  • is there a fireplace or a piano anywhere in your venue? my BM bouquets are being put on the fireplace mantle
