Wedding florals in North America are expensive—high labor costs and imported flowers drive up budgets. But smart planning can stretch your floral spend twice as far. Here’s how to reuse arrangements without compromising style.

1. Why Florals Are So Costly

Florals are imported, and labor is expensive. That’s why smart couples focus their floral budget where guests will actually see it.

2. The Perfect Reuse Window

Western weddings often follow this flow: Ceremony → Cocktail Hour → Reception. During the cocktail hour, florals from the ceremony can be repurposed into the reception decor.

3. What to Move and How to Move It

• Aisle arrangements can become elegant centerpieces.
 • Ceremony arches can be moved—but only if height, access, and guest flow allow it. Avoid moving large structures in front of guests—it breaks the magic.
