Flowers can make the wedding sparkle, but can also cost a fair bit of money! The greatest way to save money on your wedding flowers is to buy them in bulk and arrange them yourself.
But if the idea of entrusting your floral design to your own inexperienced hands scares you, here are a few suggests that may help you save money without the worry!
1. Silk Flowers - silk flowers can make beautiful wedding bouquets, and may also be cheaper then real flowers, especially if you want flowers that are out of season. Also the biggest bonus is that you can arrange and rearrange them in advance, and you have enough time to work at it until it is perfect!
2. Find an unprofessional professional!
Do you or your fiancé have a friend or family member with floral experience? - Ask around! You can find that someone you know knows someone who is a retired florist! Or even check out the local senior’s center, they may have suggestions as well. Ensure a retired florist will often offer their services at a much lower cost, and if they are friends or family, they may be willing to do it for free!
3. Take a class! A lot of local colleges and art centers offer flower arranging evening classes to help you learn the basics of arranging flowers for yourself! Local craft shops will often offer similar classes as well!!
4. Search online - many craft stores have websites with craft projects and ideas, including wedding arrangements!
