Baskets and containers
Baskets can be a great way to group together lots of small containers which allow flowers to be separated after the service for reuse. Being able to use water-retaining containers is a real bonus if you have to make flowers a few days in advance of the ceremony - for delivery logistics, for lying-in ceremonies or for events held on separate days. Sometimes a basket filled with jars can be the perfect solution for a logistically tricky brief. They look beautiful too.
