    How big are they? If you have a flower girl, those would be cute in a headband for her!

    You could make them into a hair clip. Attach them to a clutch. Decorate your ring pillow or put them on a scrapbook to pretty up a guestbook.

    You could take off the extra large petals from the outside and then use only the smaller flower from the middle. 

    I don't know what your reception situation is but if you do something like dinner you could put these on sashes that will go on the backs of yours and your FH's chairs.

    Man, who knew big pretty flowers would be so hard to work with?

    I had flowers from my mom's dress wrapped around the handle of my bouquet. Alternately, I think they would have been cute if the florist had somehow affixed them to wire and used them IN the bouquet.
