Brainiacs! Need help - stage 'disguise' and floral displays

I have a couple of suggestions:

- Close the curtains, hire or borrow a projector and project either a film or an image backdrop onto the curtains (may or may not work without me seeing the actual thing)

- flowers in glass jars or jugs which you can borrow or save up (passata jars are good makeshift vases). get someone to go to the supermarket the night before and buy cheap bouquets. It will look rustic, like your theme

- Make a hanging curtain to hang across the stage and therefore sort-of disguising the green thing. I mean like a piece of string with strings of beads or paper flowers or butterflies or fairy lights hanging down.

Editied as thought you said you were hiding green chairs, not curtain! Sorry.

I too was going to suggest something hanging down from the roof. Not a total block, but things hanging on strings will give people to look at. Paper cranes, pom pom, plastic flowers or anything to fit your theme. Or draped or hanging, chiffon table runners. You can buy them cheap off ebay in a range of colours.

As for something floral, what about a living plant in a pot? They too could be given away as a gift. There are also bay trees which are cut to look like a lollipop (a round ball of leaves sitting on the little trunk). These could be dressed with plastic flowers, ribbons in the wedding colour or fairy lights & having 1 on each side of the stage would look nice.

Could you borrow some large potted trees/bushes/plants from friends? Wrap paper around the pots & add a large ribbon in your wedding colour.

How about 2 floral pedestal arrangements on either side of the stage, helps hide the curtains and adds some flowers to the mix

Probably not the cheapest option but if the curtains are behind you don't need to have a full 360 arrangement if that makes sense (If you wont see the back of the arrangement you don't need to have flowers at the back. which makes it cheaper)

Just to clarify, someone mentioned chairs but there's no chair issue

Regarding the flowers, they're gorgeous and would be perfect, but I've spent my budget even without bouquet, I'd guess 2 of those would cost a fair bit? Would anyone know? Op

It really depends on the flowers etc we are thinking of having pedestals and I enquired with a few florists at the wedding show anything from £80-£200+ (From the info I was given I would guess the first picture is nearer the £80 bracket and the second £120/£150) That said these were central London Florists so maybe cheaper in sunny Kent!

Sorry. I misread curtain as being green chairs! My brain is playing tricks.
