5 Tips For Saving Money On Flowers At Your Wedding Ceremony
Flowers that you utilize at your ceremony venue typically run between $250 and $300. But, by utilizing the following 5 tips, you can cut that cost back a bit.
1. Incorporate inexpensive flowers and greens into larger decorations
If you plan on getting married in a church, or other larger venue, you'd be well served to opt for larger floral arrangements so that your flowers aren't lost in the larger space. This can be a good thing, however, because you'll have no problem adding in cheaper flowers and greens because no one will be close enough to notice.
2. Share floral decoration costs with another couple
This is a little known trick. If there is another couple - or more than one couple getting married in the same church as you on the same day, there's nothing wrong with sharing ceremony decorations and splitting the cost. This can be a huge money saving idea.
3. Forget about pew or chair decorations
Guest won't care and you'll save a few bucks by foregoing them.
4. Grow yow own potted flowers or plants for decorations
Needless to say, this idea will take some time and will require you or someone (a friend or family member) to have somewhat of a green thumb. But, you'll be able to save plenty as opposed to having a florist create the displays. Plus, you'll have the benefit of enjoying the flowers or plants at home long after the wedding is over.
5. Rely on existing decorations - especially if you are getting married during a holiday time period
If you are getting married around Christmas, for example, the venue may already be decorated to the hilt, meaning you may not have to provide flowers or other decorations. Something else to consider - if your ceremony venue is ornate, you can cut back dramatically on decorations and simply let the venue's existing architecture or artwork do the work of the flowers for you.
