Flowers play a very important role in a wedding. They are a part of tradition and many come with meanings. Yet flower arrangements can also get very pricey. It’s an area that many brides would like to save some money if they can.
In this article I’m going to give you a few different ideas to help you save money on wedding flowers on the various parts of your wedding.
Idea #1: Use Big Flowers
Flower arrangements made of large flowers can often save you money. The reason for this is because you don’t need as many of them to make up the arrangement. A couple good examples of this would be sun flowers and gerbera daises. This will work for almost any flower arrangement for your wedding.
Idea #2: Potted Herbs For Centerpieces
Centerpieces can add allot to the cost of the wedding if you have a large number of tables. To bring down the cost you could put attractive herbs in pots and then decorate the pot with a ribbon. Place one of these on each table. A couple good herbs for this would be lavender and rosemary.
Idea #3: Roses Wrapped In Ribbons
You can buy cheap roses sometimes from the grocery store, sams club, coastco, and wholesalers. Take one rose and wrap it in a ribbon. You could give each bridesmaid one of these roses. It’s very simple, but it does look nice.
Idea #4: Combine Silk And Real Flowers
Some brides will mix both silk flowers and real flowers together in order to save money. For example, the brides bouquet might be the arrangement made out of real flowers. The rest of your flower arrangements may all be made out of silk. You could also mix each arrangement with both silk and real flowers.
Idea #5: Add Candles Too Your Arrangements
Candles can make any arrangement look fuller then what it really is. The best part about candles is that they can be purchased for really cheap in the right places. Just keep in mind the the colors of the candle needs to blend in well with the rest of your arrangement.
Plan your fantasy wedding on a budget. Avoid wedding scams and get the lowest prices on every part of your wedding. It’s simple, it works, is stress free, and makes planning your wedding fun.
