WEDDING CRASHERS: SPENDING TOO MUCH ON FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS?

Floral arrangements for weddings are beautiful but can also be very expensive, totaling up to several hundred dollars in many cases.


But what if you could have all the beautiful flowers without the exorbitant cost? Consider a few ways to keep your floral arrangements within a sensible budget







Lessons In Floral Arrangements
First of all, wild orchids are affiliated with movie stars and singers. Orchids, and other exotic flowers are needlessly expensive. "Cheap" flowers like daisies, carnations, lilies and sunflowers can be just as pretty in a wedding photo. Also be sure to choose wedding flowers that are in season. The more you customize, the more prices will go up.


Use Floral Substitutes"
You wouldn't dream of sacrificing floral arrangements totally, but do you really need so many of them? Think of how pretty a few potted plants could be as a floral centerpiece at the wedding reception. Potted plants can also be used afterwards as wedding favors. Instead of having a floral centerpiece at every single table, you could put a crystal bowl filled with rose petals and water in its place.

Create Your Own Elegance
Another problem online shopping solves. When you login to a department store's Instead of buying a corsage, why not use a single rose in place of it? Additionally, instead of buying a floral bouquet, create your own using some flowers of your choosing. Getting rid of superfluous floral arrangements doesn't mean the elegance is also thrown out. If you replace a large floral display with a few striking flowers it can still look very chic. It will help you save a lot of money and besides, (hopefully) everyone should be more concerned with the event than the cost of floral arrangements.





Order Floral Arrangements Online
If you order your flowers online you will get to save a lot of money than if you paid full price to a wedding florist. The catch is that you will have to take care of the flowers until the wedding day, trimming them and making sure they stay alive.

Last but not least, consider a change of scenery. If you rent an empty hall then many floral arrangements might be an order. But renting a wedding location on a garden will make your wedding photos naturally lush and highlight the floral arrangements you do bring.

Decorating your wedding doesn't have to be an expensive ordeal. Let your ceremony be modest (and save yourself or someone else the headache of a large bill) while your love remains luxurious.
