You’ve probably read endless articles about how to turn a daytime look into an evening look with just a change of accessories. Did you know the same principles can apply to your wedding — and save lots of money? With just a little creativity and some help from attendants, family and friends, you can turn your ceremony decorations into beautiful accents for your reception.

Bouquets

The reception: Put them in beautiful vases and line them up on your head table for centerpieces and/or on reception tables.
