Wedding Saving Idea - Save on Wedding Flowers
In addition to the other must have wedding items, wedding flowers can be a costly expense. If you’re planning on having fresh flowers for the wedding ceremony (whether it’s a church, temple, venue), each member of the bridal party (boutiques for the bridesmaids and flower girl and boutonnieres for the Groomsmen / Ushers / Ring Bearer / Pageboy), floral arrangements / centerpieces for each table at the reception hall, flowers for the parents - it all adds up. Here are some ideas to save on Wedding Flowers.
- Choose Flowers that are in Season
- Choose Less Expensive Flowers, or use less expensive flowers as color fillers with expensive flowers.
Top 10 Most Expensive Flowers:
- Casablanca Lily
- Gardenia
- Hydrangea
- Lily of the Valley
- Lisianthus
- Orchid
- Peony
- Rose
- Stephanotis
- Tulip
Top 10 Inexpensive Flowers:
- Alstroemeria Lily
- Baby’s Breath
- Carnation
- Chrysanthemum
- Daisy
- Freesia
- Gladiolus
- Queen Anne’s Lace
- Sunflower
- Sweet William
- It’s tacky, but consider decreasing the size of your Bridal party to reduce the number of bouquets that must be purchased. Boquets are typically $80 - $120 each!
- Instead of using flower arrangements for center pieces, consider using candles (possibly on top of mirrored tiles) and scatter rose petals or fall leaves to bring color to the table.
- Choose in season flowers - this will reduce much of the overhead that the florist will incur.
