The floral work in any wedding is used to create a warm, inviting setting for the ceremony and resulting celebration. It strategically covers harsh angles and industrial looking elements of the design of the venue.
Therefore, how or how much a bride wants to trim her wedding budget in the area of floral design all depends on how important the beauty of the moment is AND how beautiful the venue is already.
Which brings us to our tips on how to trim the budget on wedding flowers:
- Choose a venue that needs little or no assistance in beauty. Get married on the beach. Use a friend or family member's beautifully manicured yard / grounds / elegant estate (indoor or out). Get married by a lake. Choose a beautiful church.
- Use only flowers that are in season in the local area.
- Mount the wedding during the Christmas season when everything is already decorated for the season.
- Avoid Valentines Day or Mother's Day. The cost of flowers skyrockets due to higher demand on those days.
- Coordinate with other brides holding their wedding the same day in the same location to share floral expenses.
- If a close friend or relative has a flair for floral arrangement, tastes similar to the bride, and the willingness to pitch in purchase the flowers etc. they need at
- a floral supply store,
- an online flower vendor,
- or even somewhere like Costco (I would have never thought of it but a friend of mine did this for her daughter's wedding and everything was beautiful)!
