FLOWERS
Flowers from the wedding are often used in outdoor wedding tents as well. Have someone bring some of the arrangements in for the reception after the ceremony is over to get more use out of your arrangements. Flower petals sprinkled across the tent floor are romantic and beautiful, bringing more of the wedding inside.

You can also have flowers in your centerpieces. Float some in a bowl of water, and have others wound in with the greenery for little hints of the flowers without overwhelming. You may also wish to use a flower at each place setting as a gift for the guests.
