Flowers can be expensive there is no two ways about it. The flowers for your wedding could easily take up a large portion of your wedding budget. Here are some tips to cut costs on your wedding flowers.
1.Use flowers that are in season and easy to find. If your florist has to import flowers you are going to spend a fortune. You want flowers that are going to be in season. They will be cheaper.
2.Tell the florist upfront what your budget is,and let them know you will not go over the budget.
3.Try to avoid having your wedding during a time when flower prices would be higher. This would include February when flower prices are higher due to Valentine's Day.
4.Go with fake flowers. You can find fake flowers that could easily pass as live. Using fake flowers where you can will help you cut costs on your wedding flowers.
5.Have your wedding in a area where there is already lots of flowers like a flower garden. This will cut down on the need for many extra flowers and save you money.
6.Go simple. No one ever said there had to be hundreds of flowers at your wedding. Sometimes simple is more. A few roses tied with a beautiful ribbon can be much more stunning than a larger arrangement.
7.Make your own arrangements. With a little practice you can make your own wedding flower arrangements. Have a few friends or family members help you and have fun. You can be as creative as you like, or you can make them simple and elegant. The choice is up to you.
