Wedding Flowers That Won’t Hurt Your Budget

With so many expenses to worry about during a wedding, the prospect of filling your church and your venue with flowers suddenly doesn’t look romantic anymore but just expensive. Flowers make for great decorations as centerpieces, on walls, and in the bridal bouquet and can make the wedding look romantic and special. But florists also have to worry about their supply, the seasonality of the flowers, and the materials and supplies that they use in arrangements, which is why florists can charge a hefty fee. They also use their skills and artistry to make the flowers look lovely. But there are ways on how you can cut cost on wedding flowers. Here are some floral ideas that you can incorporate in your wedding without having to spend a fortune.

You can go to reception venues where the place has been decorated already. Whether it is a garden venue where greenery and flowers are everywhere or a ballroom that is already set up with decor, choosing a pre-decorated venue can greatly reduce your flower cost because you do not have to order them for your reception venue.

You can also alternate flowers with wine bottles or your wedding favors with flowers to serve as centerpieces. If you have two buffet tables and wanted to buy five flower vases for each table, you can instead buy half that quantity and substitute other items instead. Without totally removing the presence of flowers, you can still exude that floral appeal at half the price.

Silk flowers are now becoming more popular because they last way longer than real flowers. Of course, they cost way less than real flowers as well. If it is the real deal that you want, you can pre-order flowers from your local florists and arrange them personally. All you need are a few pieces of ribbons and lace and a few tips on floral arrangements and you can easily have lovely-looking flowers.

To re-emphasize the presence of flowers, you can give flower favors to your guests as well. Flowers are almost always a necessity in weddings. They can brighten up the place and let the couple and the guests focus on the gentleness and romance that is in the air. But in today’s tough world, it is the couple’s duty to ensure that they are getting what they want without having to worry or spend excessively on some wedding items including flowers.
