what are you using to hold your boquet at the head table?

I seriously never thought of this. Thanks for bringing it up.

My florist is providing glass cylinder vases.

Make sure your vases are heavy enough to hold the bouquets without toppling over.

^^^^ good point. my florist recommended the 6 in tall ones so i'm hoping those will be tall enough, and i think they're pretty heavy. but now you have me worried!

Haven't even thought about that

Big ass mason jars.

My decorator had these clips that went on the front of the tables

I got one of these....

Fill the bottom with decorative gems if nothing else. It'll be fine. I had oversized vases at the end of the table that fit two bouquets in it and then mine by itself because it was larger.

Like Jay and Samantha, this never occurred to me...there's a ton of things this week people have been mentioning that I need to consider. So, thanks!

I've got vases from Ikea for our centrepieces, and already had a larger similar one for my bouquet to go in. I got a load of those gel balls to make them a little more interesting, plus a ribbon and bow on each one. I'm keeping it all quite simple.

I have no clue! Going to email my florist now!

My father passed away so on the memorial table we have set aside for him I will be putting my bouquet in a vase on that table the vase will have water and rocks to hold it up. If your going with a hand tied bouquet you can use a vase if your going with a BHO which is the plastic holder with oasis they sell bouquet holders at holly lobby that clip to the front of the head table and you slip the handle into it and it holds your bouquet nicely. ( see stacys comment above that's the holder I am talking about) all craft stores carry them.

Lol. I am just laying mine nicely down on the table. I really dont need a vase or any extra expense.

Can a bride not just set it down on the table? Haha. I'll officially be done with the bouquet by then! Ain't nobody got time for all those details.

I need someplace to put mine for the CEREMONY. We aren't having attendants so I can't pass it off. I need to check out these bouquet holders I think.

I used these.

I got them either on Amazon or Ebay. The last picture is my bouquet at the reception.

Paris- those are fantastic!

You don't need vases for your flowers if you don't want them later, or aren't donating them (shameless plug for my new favorite organization, Repeat Roses), but a lot of weddings reuse bouquets for decor at the reception.

We'll be using ours for the sweetheart and cake tables.

The 6 inch from Dollar Tree will be tall enough. They also sell clear gems/marbles to put in the vase that will weigh it down. You won't need many to do that.

My girls and I had silk flowers so we just layed them down on the table still looked pretty with the candles =)
