2. Select flowers that are in season.
This will definitely cut your costs. If you have your heart
set on exotic flowers that either out-of-season or hard to get
in your region, consider using silk flowers instead.
3. Limit the size of your wedding party.
The math is simple, fewer bridesmaids, groomsmen, and ushers
means less money spent on corsages, bouquets, and boutonnieres.
4. Use a fewer but larger and more dramatic displays.
The overall cost will likely be less, AND your flowers will get
more attention! Be sure to transport the arrangements from the
ceremony to the reception location so you can enjoy them the entire
day!
5. Use silk flowers.
This is a nice idea if you want to keep your bouquet. If you
are creative and willing to learn, you can buy a floral book and
make your own wedding flowers with silks! Any craft store will
have these readily on hand. If you have plenty of lead time before
the wedding, watch for sales at the craft shops. You'll often
see sales of up to 50% off seasonal silk flowers.
6. Use greenery and twinkling lights.
Greenery is far less expensive than fresh flowers. If you
use live plants, you can keep them for years to come. You can
also rent live plants from local nurseries or silk plants from
local rental companies.
7. Have your wedding outdoors.
You can save money on floral decorations by using the natural
beauty of the outdoors. Some places have pretty gardens or nice
atriums for your ceremony. Parks are also a nice choice!
8. Opt for less expensive flowers.
Rather than exotic and expensive buds, opt for less expensive
flowers, like carnations, for your cake table, gift table, and
other decorative arrangement. You can still use the more expensive
flowers in your bouquet and save a lot of money at the same time! |
