Outfit the altar. Whether you are getting married in a church or outdoors, there is bound to be some sort of an altar, marking where you will stand to say your vows. Add your flowers to this area. For example, if you are using a table, decorate it with one or two bouquets of your flowers, or use a single candle in the center of the table and spread the petals of your flowers on the table. If you are using an arch, stick stems of your flowers into the arch for decoration.

Decorate the tables. At your reception, the table centerpieces are the biggest part of your decorations. Since your flower choices are so elegant and colorful, you won't need to do much to make exquisite centerpieces. Simply purchase a mixture of tall and medium height vases. Place one in the center of each table with a bouquet of your flowers in them. Next, take petals of your flowers and spread them around the base of the vase on each table. If your wedding is indoors, use your votive candle holders and candles to form a small circle around each vase. It's best to use three to five candles around each vase, depending on the size of your tables.

Don't forget about the cake and buffet tables. If you are having a buffet table, sprinkle the petals from your flowers along the buffet line. This will work well for your cake table, too. You can even do this if you are doing a sit down meal but have an appetizer table.

Add more to the head table. For the head table, purchase the same size medium vases. Purchase the same amount of vases as bridesmaids that you have. Place the vases evenly down the table. Purchase one large vase, and place it in the center of the table. Have your bridesmaids put their bouquets in a vase on the table after the ceremony. The larger vase is for your bouquet. This will add more color to the head table, making it stand out.

Incorporate your flowers into your cake. You can do this one of two ways. You can order a few extra flowers and give them to the person making your cake ahead of time. This way, the baker can add the flowers to the decoration of your cake. Or you can have the person making your cake create white daisies and hot pink peonies out of candy or icing.
