Flowers
As beautiful as wedding flowers are, they die eventually and the price of the wedding flower bouquets, centerpieces and other flowers may linger in your “to be paid” budget for months following the wedding. Getting wedding flower bouquets and the rest of your flowers on a budget frees you up to spend money on more important things. There are many wedding flower ideas to help you save money.
The first consideration is where and when you will be holding the wedding ceremony. If the wedding is going to be in a scenic location such as the beach or in a backyard, let the guests enjoy the beauty of the location and don’t worry about buying extra wedding flowers for decoration.
Churches and restaurants often get flowers every week and will leave them in place for your wedding. During the holidays they are likely to have more flowers than usual so you can cut back even more on the expense of buying flowers. Keep in mind when setting the date for your wedding and your wedding flower budget that during holidays times such as Valentine’s Day there will be a spike in the cost of wedding flower bouquets and the other flower arrangements you order because the demand for fresh flowers is so high.
Setting up a new home? Think about using potted greens including small trees and other plants that you can plant on your property after the ceremony is over.
If you have friends with a green thumb consider asking them to grow and arrange flowers for you. Also think about ordering flowers from a grocery store. Many grocery stores will make beautiful wedding flower bouquets and other floral arrangements. This is much more cost effective than using a florist and a great way to buy flowers on a budget.
Color choice will also determine the price of wedding flower bouquets and other wedding flowers. White, pink and yellow are common colors so wedding flower bouquets and other flowers are likely to be less expensive than if you use purple or blue.
Another option is to think of creative replacements for expensive flowers. Candles, silk and dried floral arrangements, ribbons, and other items can be used as colorful replacements.
If you are working with a florist be sure you are clear on the exact costs and what flowers you are getting.
One exciting new idea is to have flowers delivered for your wedding. The flowers come ready to place where ever you want them. You select the style, know exactly what they will look like and can easily stick to a budget.
