Pew Marker Flowers or Bows?

Another element to consider when decorating a church or even marking chairs for an outside wedding is whether to use pew marker bows or small fresh flower arrangements.  What is a wedding without a few tulle bows, right?  Well what if you could do both?  We have begun to use pew marker clips with simple shoestring tied bows that have a water pick glued to the clip.  In that water pick we have used flowers that match the color and theme of the wedding.  This has been a huge timesaver and a great added touch to bring together the walk down the aisle and the decoration at the front of the church or venue.  For a florist, this is a huge cost saver as well because you can ask for the clips to be returned and use them over and over.  This saves money and material which is always great!
    The picture above displays a great way to decorate chairs for an outside wedding.  While this does take a litte more time, it's not necessarily more costly than bows.  A lot of the labor can be done by the bride herself if necessary as the ball arrangement above is just daisy heads glued to a styrofoam ball.  In my opinion, it just dresses up those plastic chairs.
