I was so excited to recieve a phone call from a mother of a bride getting married this weekend that she had seen pictures of a tree centerpiece I had made for a wedding back in September. She loved them and wondered if she could rent them for her own daughter's wedding. "Of course!" I replied. After the September wedding the centerpieces came back home with me and just were gathering dust until she called. What a wonderful opportunity to reuse something from one wedding to another.
If you have fabulous centerpieces that you feel bad just pushing aside after the reception, offer them up to friends or family to reuse, all you would have to do is switch out one aspect to make them unique.
