Save
Money On Wedding Flowers
When planning any wedding, you have all the
usual departments that need to be addressed, from the venue
right on down to the license. All the in betweens are the things
that seem to end up costing the most when tallied up. Here
we are going to talk about the options of flowers and
how to save some money. Everyone loves flowers and wedding flowers
just seem to carry the eyes directly to them, as they are usually
very well organized and beautiful. It is possible to get great
flowers for your wedding while saving a lot of money. Here
are some ways to accomplish this feat.
The
least appealing way to save money on flowers is the cheapest-having
no flowers at all. This is sometimes the case as many people
work on a very strict and tight budget. Most of the time however,
people will find ways to incorporate flowers into the budget
and wedding itself. A new trend setting these days seems to
be forgoing the traditional bouquet, for a single yet elegant
flower, such as a form of lily or blossom. You could opt for
the florist to design something with what ever is in season
and the cheapest. You could consider using silk flowers, and
will never have to worry about them dying, at the reception
you could give them away to wedding party members as gifts
if you like. The idea of a sole flower carries a very warm
and romantic charm; the type of flower you carry can definitely
heighten this. Although not cheap by any means, the calla lily
is an extremely elegant flower and to hold merely one of these
little gems rather than an entire bouquet of them can be the
difference of a hundred dollars or so. Apposed to say ten dollars
and all the while have that special appeal of less is more.
You could have a bouquet if you are not willing to give up
your own simple pleasures and go with a single flower of this
kind to the bridesmaids. Once the reception is under way, they
could place their single flower in a bud vase on the guest
tables to be used as inexpensive centerpieces, as well. If
you decide to go the silk flower route, this can be very beneficial
as there is no set time to by them. These flowers can be bought
well in advance to the big day and then kept in plastic containers
or bags as to keep the dust off them. The idea of allowing
the florist to design around what is in season, and in turn
be the cheapest could wind up being a disaster for you emotions
if you are not happy with the outcome, seldom do you find what
you are really looking for when on a tight budget as it is,
tossing the idea of cheap flowers at someone else’s control
will be a possible prelude to heart break. If you have your
heart set on a particular flower, then this option would most
likely not be for you.
This may be considered a tacky method of flowering you wedding,
yet when you think about it, many can save a bundle of cash.
Try the supermarket--they buy flowers in bulk and do not require
you to leave a deposit for them. You could indeed save a large
chunk of change doing it this way, and if the flowers are nice
and healthy, who really need to know where they were purchased?
More importantly, do you believe they will really care, as
long as you are happy and saved a lot of money? That is what
really counts in the end. When doing the centerpieces for the
guest tables, you could consider trying houseplants. They are
lovely all year and the cost does not really fluctuate often.
During the reception these lovely plants could be raffled off
at each of the guest tables, one lucky winner. With so many
options out there for the flower arrangements you will easily
be rewarded for some searching and innovation on the bouquet,
corsage and the guest table arrangements. This money saved
could go towards other things needed for the wedding and in
turn still have a lovely day.
