Absolutely. From choosing the right site to creative cutting back, we have multiple ways to reduce your floral budget. Here are some ways to keep your numbers and blood pressure lower.
Location, Location, Location
Choose ceremony and location settings that are naturally beautiful with trees and planted flowers galore.
Garden Party
If you want your decorations to be all about the flowers, why not have a garden wedding at a local botanical, public, or hotel garden?
Keep It Simple
Go for sophisticated, unique arrangements, such as elegant calla lilies in glass vases or bowls containing floating candles and gardenias. These arrangements are elegant, understated, and relatively inexpensive.
Single and Loving It
Have each bridesmaid carry a single stem tied with a beautiful ribbon instead of a full bouquet. For your decor, fill pitchers with daisies for fresh, simple centerpieces.
Champagne Wishes
Orchids and lilies of the valley aren't the only beautiful buds available. Go to the flower market and see for yourself. There are other less expensive flower options: dahlias, zinnias, sunflowers, daisies, and baby's breath to name a few.
Avoid the Holidays
We're not asking you to be a bridal Grinch, but flower prices usually increase around holidays like Christmas, Mother's Day, and Valentine's Day. Be sure to choose your wedding date with this in mind.
Season's Best
Flowers are always more affordable when they are in season.
Buy in Bulk
Found a great price on a flat of tulips? Grab all you can and use them everywhere! Blooms like garden rose bushes in flower boxes are also available to rent and make a beautiful and substantial camouflage for the front of a stage or altar.
Recycle
Transfer the flowers from your ceremony to your reception. Similarly, rearrange the flowers from your rehearsal dinner for your cocktail reception.
Light It Up
Trade floral centerpieces for elaborate candles on every reception table. If a floral touch is a must-have, sprinkle rose petals around the candle holders.
