Congratulations,
You have picked a great article to read to find ways to save money on flowers for your Wedding or event.
Warning: It helps to read this before you go to your local florist!
Unless you grow your own flowers I'm sure you will agree that the right flowers can be either hard to find or expensive to buy. Cheap flowers can be risky and may not last and no one wants dead flowers on their wedding day.
So what do you do?
* Plan a budget.
This is for decorations and make sure to set a good amount aside for flowers. I'm not talking about a million dollars but some budgets recommend between 8 and 10%. Honestly this may not be enough in the ultra low budget and a lot of money in the more elaborate Wedding. Either way most everyone does not have an endless budget and want the most for their money.
* Decide what color of flowers you would like.
* Be open to suggestions and ways to save money.
Your Florist, Wedding Planner, Coordinator, Event Contact etc., all have knowledge on what looks good and can save you money. It just takes being open to ideas.
* Look online or at books to see what kind of look or style you like.
* Be open to flowers you never thought of using in your arrangement.
* Remember the cost of flowers changes and there is seasonality to most flowers.
* Be unique you don't have to use the flowers that everyone else does. This can be a huge savings depending on the flower. Creativity can be a wonderful thing.
* One flower can be just as beautiful as a bunch. An example can be one Red Rose or one dinner plate Dalia.
One key element in being successful in planning your Wedding is to enjoy the experience!
Thank you for reading my blog and come back soon for more interesting reading!
