Ways to Cut Cost on Wedding Flowers
by: Michael Ferrell
With all the things you’ll have
to worry about paying for when it comes
to your wedding, you won’t want
to have to spend a lot of cash for slightly
smaller things, like accents, decorations,
and flower arrangements. Since most brides
do want to have flowers at their weddings,
and would prefer to purchase them at a
reasonable price, here are some ways to
save on wedding flowers that you may want
to try:
Buy synthetic flowers.
Synthetic flowers may cost a little more
when you buy them in bulk because of the
material, but they could save you money
because they last as long as you need
them to. Many people have fresh flower
bouquets for the bride, bridesmaids, and
flower girls, and these tend to whither
rather quickly, especially if the ceremony
is indoors. So, you may end up buying
more flowers than you actually need in
order to keep the flowers looking good
for pictures after the ceremony. You can
also find colors or types of flowers that
may not be in bloom at the time you are
having the wedding if you buy synthetic
flowers. This way, you’ll have more
freedom to create the look you want for
your ceremony. If you want to decorate
the reception with flowers as well, synthetic
flowers may be a good idea, so that you
can maintain the look of the room for
as long as you need to. And, since most
brides want to keep their bouquets, buying
synthetic flowers is definitely a good
idea.
Plan your bouquet size.
Many brides end up spending more than
they wanted to on a bouquet because they
didn’t count the amount of flowers
that would be in the arrangement, or select
flowers that will look good with not-so-expensive
accents. Make sure you know just how big
you want your bouquet to be, as well as
what type of flowers you want to include.
And, carrying a single flower down the
aisle is wonderful look for a bride as
well. You can use a lily, daisy, or even
a rose with lace or pearl accents as your
bouquet, and add a unique touch to the
ceremony. Small bunches of flowers can
also be beautiful, proving that, as with
most other things, less can definitely
be more. If you want to get fresh flowers
for your bouquet, selecting flowers that
are in season will also help you to save
money, since a florist may have to specially
order out-of-season flowers, which can
increase the bouquet price significantly.
Plan ahead.
Even though flowers for the wedding may
seem like a small thing, don’t wait
until the last minute to make sure that
you have the flowers you want for your
wedding. You may have to spend more money
to find flowers you want the closer you
get to the ceremony, so make sure that
you have decided whether or not you’ll
purchase flowers from a local florist
or order synthetic flowers.
