    Okay, so someone suggested these beautiful wood flowers a while ago here on Weddingbee. I think they are gorgeous, but I really have no idea how I would use them. Any suggestions on how these could be used at a reception or ceremony? I would love an excuse to buy them. :)

    I used something a bit different then what you posted, but 1/2 of my centerpieces were made with wood roses!   Here are some pics for you:

    I used them in both the shoes and the vases and I loved how they looked!  They were so easy to work with to.  :)  

    The ones you linked are so cute looking!  I think there are probably a ton of things you could do with those.  I can't tell from the photo, do you know if they have stems?  If not, then you could decorate a tree branch with them, or have them floating (on something) in a wide mouthed bowl.  You could used them to decorate signs for things like guestbook, cake table, etc.  You could use them as escort cards and then they could double as a favor.  :)

    @dodgercpkl: Wow, what a great job with the centerpieces! :) Unfortunately, these do not have stems. That's a great idea about having them floating. You don't think they would get soggy looking or weird?

    @brideatbeach:  I'd put them on something.  Like little glass finger bowls or something small enough to not overwhelm them in size but big enough to keep them from getting waterlogged.  :)

    I can't find a picture of what I'm talking about, but I know I've seen something like it somewhere.  Another option in a similar theme, is to have the bowls filled with color marbles or something and just set the flowers around on the top.  Something like this:

    And here's an idea of what I meant by decorating a branch with them:

    @dodgercpkl: lol I appreciate the look of everything DIY, but I am so NOT a crafty person. That's why I love Weddingbee and experts like yourself! :)

    I saw these and loved them!  My thought was to somehow attach them to fishing line (i.e. poke a hole, hot glue, etc...) and hang them in strings around my outdoors ceremony location.  Basically a DIY flower garland.

    I have those bookmarked on etsy. I was thinking of using them at each place setting... either ontop of a napkin, or ontop of a favour box, (if we do boxes!) If not then I'd put them in our centerpiece, as our centerpiece is a tray with riverrocks and a candle, so they'd look cute in there too :)

    My first thought was creating a napkin holder with them by attaching them to some sort of ribbon or wire.  Or like ninjadarling said put one on top of the napkin at each place setting.
