With a love of flowers, Laurin found a fantastic and cost-effective way to recycle and enjoy plenty of flowers at her South Carolina wedding. With a bit of guidance from florist Annie Mueller, Laurin opted to incorporate the bridesmaid bouquets as centerpieces for the reception, as well as decoration for the cake table, restrooms, and cocktail tables. By reusing pieces from the ceremony for the reception, this allowed Laurin to keep within her budget and use a few more of her favorite flowers (cymbidian orchids!) in larger arrangements. "Our florist, Annie, was so innovative with the flowers that we wanted to use them as much as possible," says Laurin. "We did not want the flowers to go to waste," she adds. Who knew recycling could be so indulgent?
