If you do not own the vases, please bring ribbon for us to tie flowers together for guests.
Do you want to save your bridal bouquet? We will do our best to find the bouquet at the end of the night, but please know it can often be carried all over and even taken. To guarantee a safe return of the bouquet, we recommend placing it in the back after the grand entrance.
