Flower cones on double duty

This is an approximate set up of our ceremony. At the front, there will be two wine barrels with flower arrangements on top. I think it DEFinitely needs a little color up the middle aisle. I feel like rose petals are too wasteful... so a little *pop* on the chairs along the aisle seems about right.


I have seen some pretty great pictures of DIY flower cones. I'm not picky in my flower selection (more to come on that topic), but I love the natural shape of these arrangements. I love that we can use greenery and as much or little color as we want for the flowers, paper, and ribbon.

This sounds like a perfect watch-tv-fold-paper craft project. And then after the ceremony, you could re-use the cone flowers as loose centerpiece flowers for the reception.

Do you think I'll be able to double-duty the blooms? What will I need to consider in planning for that?
