1. Get more mileage out of your bonbonnieres.
You know that little gift for your wedding guests? Make it work hard from the start of the night by incorporating it into your table decorations – a candle, a succulent or a votive work perfectly for this.
Succulents are a really functional gift. Not only are they really popular right now, but your wedding guests will be reminded of you as they water this little keepsake for years to come. As a bonus, they’re much more likely to survive the trip home than fresh flowers or chocolates.
2. Make your decorations look so yummy you could eat them.
Decorating with food means your tables will look fabulous AND your guests will be able to snack throughout the night.
Think about how you can add jars of sweets or even fresh fruit to your tables, or add a feature like a donut wall away from the tables so your guests will get up and mingle.
