Repurposing your wedding flowers is a Bloominati specialism. Just as each bloom lives, breathes and moves, so too does the shape and location of your floral design throughout your wedding day when you work with me. In this way, I elevate your flowers from a static design that exists only in one moment of your wedding to a series of dynamic, intentionally placed artistic moments – maximising the impact of each meticulously crafted installation is part of the Bloominati experience. When it comes to the question of how to repurpose your wedding flowers, my team and I have got you covered.
How I work with you and your wedding venue to repurpose your wedding flowers
Part of the process of designing your wedding flowers is walking through your wedding day flow with you, determining where your key photo moments will be, exploring how the guest experience will feel, and identifying every area of your carefully chosen wedding venue to enhance with statement florals.
I will then liaise with your wedding venue, planner or coordinator to ensure there is space in your timeline for my team and I to get to work repurposing your flowers, whether that’s creating a backdrop for your portraits, redesigning your ceremony flowers in your wedding breakfast space, or highlighting a moment in your day such as the cake cutting.
It’s so important to me that I collaborate with the rest of your wedding day team to ensure we have the time and flexibility to do this, because I know how special your wedding portraits are.
“These photos being as special as they are, I want you as my couple to have the most phenomenal forever photos of that just-married glow.”
This highly personal service is just one of the reasons I only take on a limited number of weddings per year, allowing us the time and flexibility to truly collaborate in a way that will help make your wedding the best it can possibly be. Unlike other florists, I don’t consider your wedding flowers to be a ‘one and done’ effort – your floral timeline is designed to echo the flow of your day in a highly personal way.

Can you cut costs by repurposing?
It’s important to note that the way I go about repurposing your wedding flowers at Bloominati forms part of a premium service, and is not intended as a cost-cutting exercise. My team and I will stay on site longer than would classically be needed, intentionally recrafting your florals seamlessly and unobtrusively as you flow through your day.
There are three main strategies we use when thinking about how to repurpose your wedding flowers:
How to repurpose your wedding flowers – moving from ceremony to wedding breakfast
The first way my team and I can recraft your wedding flowers to maximise their impact is by moving them from your ceremony to your wedding breakfast space.
We can often take the florals used to line your aisle and use them as trestle table ends, or at the base of your top table. If we create a ceremony backdrop we tend to do so using seamlessly blended smaller pieces, enabling us to take each section to decorate a new space for you later in the day. After your ceremony we can thoughtfully realocate the pieces in your wedding breakfast space, creating what appears to be an entirely new design.
Take a look at Sophie and Ben’s wedding flowers with their deliciously dark colour palette to see how we moved their ceremony backdrop into their wedding breakfast. Framing you as a couple shouldn’t stop after the ceremony – you’re the stars of the show, after all.
How to repurpose your wedding flowers – creating photo moments
I also love to repurpose your wedding ceremony flowers into breathtaking photo moments and backdrops for your first portraits as a newly married couple.
A great example of this was at Northbrook Park, where I first crafted a statement ceremony backdrop composed of two columns and a series of single trays. I then moved the columns outside to frame my couple as they had their portraits taken – click here to see this design in detail*, and to see how you would never know they were the same flowers.
Creating floral photo moments for you as a couple is a wonderful way to use your wedding flowers again, bringing to life a corner or surface that would otherwise be uninspiring. When you look back at your wedding photos, I want you to see your just-married bliss surrounded by organic artistry – we’re not shy to show off our couples with blooming backdrops!
The emphasis on repurposing in all your wedding flower creations stems from a unique expertise in the way I design, always considering how each installation can be crafted to allow for versatile and smooth relocation. Bringing each show-stopping moment at your wedding to life requires smart, considered design to ensure your flowers look incredible in every iteration.

How to repurpose your wedding flowers – highlighting details
Finally, I can rework your wedding ceremony flowers to highlight specific details, moments during the day or important spaces. There are a series of significant moments my team and I can draw attention to with your florals, those for which you’d ideally like your guests to gather round and be present with you.
These include first dances, cake cutting moments, champagne tower pours and speeches – in each case I’ll work with you and your venue to determine where these highlights will happen, and create beautiful floral details to delight your guests and keep them immersed in the fairytale.
This Somerley House wedding is a perfect example of how we can transform your ceremony flowers into a decadent dessert display.
You need never wonder how to repurpose your wedding flowers when you work with me – transforming and recreating are part of my process, and my intention is always to get the maximum impact from every lovely, lively flower. Showcasing you and your wedding venue is my top priority, so if you’d like to enquire about elevating every detail I’d love to hear from you.
Lover of baked goods, scented candles, ASOS and the theatre. When I’m not planning gorgeous wedding flowers for my beautiful couples, I’m doting on my little rescue dog, attending a gig, eating pizza or I’m glued to my laptop working when I should probably be relaxing because I absolutely love what I do.
