5 Ways to Utilize Your Rented Flowers from VGC

Your wedding flowers shouldn’t only shine during the ceremony and with VGC rentals, they don’t have to. These professionally designed arrangements are made to look stunning all day and can easily be reused throughout your event. 

From aisle florals to bridesmaid bouquets, here are five smart ways to get the most out of every bloom.

#1. Repurpose Ceremony Arrangements at the Reception

What to Repurpose

Altar florals, aisle markers, welcome signage arrangements, and large ceremony urns or pedestals are perfect for repurposing wedding flowers. These pieces are usually professionally styled and can easily transition into your reception space.

Tips for Easy Transition

Coordinate with your planner or a trusted friend to move the florals. Since they’re rentals, VGC designs them to be lightweight and easy to relocate.

Best Placement Ideas

Set them behind the sweetheart table, near the cake display, or at the entrance of your reception. They’ll make a big visual impact without needing new decor.

#2. Use Bridesmaid Bouquets as Centerpieces

Smart Double Use
Bridesmaid bouquets are already part of your wedding style so turning them into centerpieces is a clever way to stay on theme and save on florals.

Simple Setup
Have empty vases ready at reception tables. Once the ceremony and photos are over, the bouquets can be dropped right in for an instant centerpiece.

Other Display Spots
Use extra bouquets to dress up cocktail tables, the guestbook area, or the bar. They’re just the right size to brighten up small but important spaces.

#3. Style the Gift or Guest Book Table

Best Floral Options for This Spot

Small bouquets, bud vases, or leftover blooms from other décor elements work perfectly. Even a single rented arrangement can instantly elevate the space.

Why These Details Matter

These tables are often photographed and visited by guests, so adding florals creates a cohesive and thoughtful look. It shows care in even the smallest corners of your celebration.

Tips for Styling

Match your florals to the overall color scheme and pair them with candles, signage, or framed photos for a polished finish. VGC rentals make it effortless to achieve a professional look.

#4. Floral Backdrops for Photos

Best Placement Options

One of the most popular ways to use rented florals is as a flower wall backdrop especially for a photo booth. Whether it’s near the dance floor, at the entrance, or beside the guestbook table, it instantly creates a photo-worthy spot your guests will love.

Why Everyone Loves It

Guests get a gorgeous place to snap pictures, your photographer captures stunning shots, and you get a cohesive, elevated look that ties into your wedding décor seamlessly.

Lighting & Setup Tips

Choose a space with natural light or set up soft, flattering lighting nearby. VGC’s neutral-toned flower walls blend beautifully with photo templates and props that make them easy to place just about anywhere.

#5. Enhance Lounge & Cocktail Spaces

The Value of Florals in Lounge Areas
Lounge and cocktail areas might not be the center of attention, but they’re important spots where guests unwind and connect. Adding flowers to these spaces creates a welcoming, cozy atmosphere that enhances the overall experience of your event.

The Power of Small Touches

Even a few small arrangements can make a big visual difference. Bud vases or mini clusters on cocktail tables instantly elevate the atmosphere without overwhelming the space.

Smart Placement Ideas
