Stylish Wedding Flowers for the Budget Conscious Bride
Style - Everyone wants it. Many claim to have it. Admittedly few
actually do. True style is not something you can purchase, but many
equate throwing lots of money around with good taste. You know better.
It's more complex than that.
When it comes to your wedding flowers - money and style don't always
go hand in hand. In fact, with floral arrangements taking a turn towards
modern minimalism it's now easier than ever to create a dazzling décor
scheme on a modest budget. So just how can you cut your floral costs
without cutting corners? Take advantage of some clever ideas, and
design a floral motif for your wedding that is simultaneously stylish
and budget friendly:
Have an Intimate Bridal Party
With fewer attendants, your florist will won't have to create as many
bouquets or boutonnières - resulting in instant savings that
will in no way put a damper on your floral style. If you have a lot
of close friends - consider assigning alternative VIP roles - such
as ceremony reader.
Shrink the Guest List
Fewer seats at your wedding ceremony means less aisles to decorate;
fewer tables at your wedding reception means less floral centerpieces
to adorn them. You get the idea...You'll have gorgeous arrangements
- just less of them.
Go With The Season
In season wedding flowers are often less expensive and easier to find.
For a list of common flowers for each season, visit Elegala.com's
seasonal flower guide.
Keep It Simple Sista!
Certain flowers will run up of the cost of your floral budget no matter
what season. Ask your florist to review your options with you. One
way to make sure that your less expensive flowers look anything but
- group a bunch of the same bloom together for a stunning visual effect.
Tightly packed daisies can be eye catching.
Consider Alternative Arrangements
Scattered flower petals surrounded by votive candles create an elegant
effect without breaking the bank. Or have arrangements featuring grasses,
fruits or vegetables - one of our favorite hot trends!
Choose a Naturally Beautiful Location
Expensive decor is hardly necessary when Mother Nature does the work
for you! A springtime wedding in a garden hardly needs additional
floral arrangements, while an ornate church may be breathtaking on
its own. Also consider that many facilities are decorated for the
holidays, so holding a December wedding may provide you with gorgeous
poinsettias and garland free of cost.
