Tips for Saving on Guest Table Floral Decorations Without Sacrificing Style

Wedding Flowers Can Be Quite Expensive!
One of the items that many brides think is “expensive!” when it comes to wedding costs is... flowers.
Flowers aren’t something you buy frequently in daily life; even if you do, it's usually just a small bouquet. Many brides must be surprised when they check the prices of wedding flowers and think, “Wow, flowers can be this expensive...”
Since flowers are decorations, their priority is lower compared to food, gifts, outfits, and performances. Therefore, brides who want to save on wedding costs often first consider whether they can cut back on flowers...
To Save on Wedding Flowers, We Recommend "Guest Table Arrangements" ◎
There are various wedding flower arrangements including bouquets, centerpiece flowers, guest table arrangements, and decoration for the reception area and stairs, but one of the easiest areas to save is 'guest table flowers'*
The guest table arrangement is meant for one guest table.
For example, if you have a wedding with 60 people seated at 10 tables with 6 people each and each table arrangement costs 10,000 yen, that totals 100,000 yen.
However, if you can reduce the flower costs to 6,000 yen per table, that means 60,000 yen for 10 tables, and a savings of 4,000 yen per table would result in a total savings of 40,000 yen.
However, since guest table flowers are in front of the guests for a long time, reducing the flowers may give a sparse impression and make guests wonder, “Did they save on this?” which is undesirable...!
So today, we will introduce tips to make guest table arrangements look stylish even when cutting back on flowers◎
Tips to Make Guest Table Arrangements Look Stylish Even with Fewer Flowers ① Display Just One Type of Flower
The first method we recommend is to drastically reduce the guest table arrangements to just a small amount!*
For example, this long flower is called a “calla.” Doesn’t it look stylish to display just three calla flowers in a long glass vase?
There’s also the idea of simply displaying tulips like this*
Tulips come in various colors, such as red, white, yellow, and orange, so just using tulips can create a colorful display, which is a nice point♩
This beautiful purple flower could be a dendrobium, right? Just placing purple flowers in a large glass dome makes it look so gorgeous◎
Simply creating a bouquet with seasonal flowers and displaying it can look stylish♩
Additionally, there was a bride who placed a single rose in a large glass dome like in Beauty and the Beast! Just displaying one rose is incredibly romantic♡
Tips to Make Guest Table Arrangements Look Stylish Even with Fewer Flowers ② Create Movement
When using smaller flowers, a tip is to combine greens or small flowers to create a lively appearance*
Even if you use fewer flowers, having parts that stick out gives a vibrant look♩ The natural appearance that looks like you just picked them can also be very charming♡
Tips to Make Guest Table Arrangements Look Stylish Even with Fewer Flowers ③ Use Water
Filling a large vessel with water to float flowers is a wonderful idea◎ This way, even a few flowers can fill the vessel, creating a luxurious appearance♩
There was also the idea of tightly packing flowers in a tall glass. The cool tones of the flowers provide a refreshing look, perfect for summer brides♡
Tips to Make Guest Table Arrangements Look Stylish Even with Fewer Flowers ④ Place Them Sparingly
Since creating a large centerpiece can be costly, it's recommended to place small flowers sparingly on the table◎
This can give a natural wedding atmosphere, and by scattering them, it can also look stylish♡
Tips to Make Guest Table Arrangements Look Stylish Even with Fewer Flowers ⑤ Add Other Decorative Items
Finally, we recommend placing other decorative items on the tables* Adding candles, photo frames, table runners, and other small items can enhance the appearance, even with fewer flowers◎
Some brides sprinkle stars or lay tulle according to the theme of the venue. Try adding decorations that match your wedding theme♩
