Dear Reader,
Congratulations on your upcoming Wedding or Event. More than likely you are reading this because you have sticker shock at how much someone has told you that flowers will be for your big day.
Most people wonder why flowers cost so much when the grocery store or local discounter sells bunches of flowers for little to nothing. If this is your question then I would love to tell you why prices can be so high.
If your florist is using a quality wholesale provider (I use Mayesh) of flowers then the flowers should be the freshest for your wedding day. (Have you ever noticed that some flowers are dead within a day? The general reason is that they are old. Most flowers last at least 4 to 7 days and longer if well cared for.) The wholesale provider can generally get in the color and flower you are wanting but this can come at a price. It's important to understand this when planning your Wedding. You want a specific flower and color it will cost more to be fresh for your big day.
Hopefully this make sense so far but let me continue to share why flowers and decorations make all the difference. Would you ever consider buying a beautiful house and not having furniture? Of course not, but everyone knows your house may be beautiful but if your furniture is ugly the appeal is lost. The same goes for your Wedding. If you spend a lot of money on your Venue as many brides do these day and don't spend money on flowers or decorations to make it beautiful then you really are not maximizing the benefit of your venue. After all it is your big day! I'm not suggesting that you spend money your don't have I am suggesting that you budget yourself and have a reasonable amount put aside for flowers and decorations.
Think of it this way you can't take the venue home but generally you and your guests can take the flowers home. This gives extra value to your flowers!
I hope this helps!
Congratulations and good luck in your quest to create a beautiful day!
