Stylish Wedding Floral Displays on a Tight Budget

Want great looking wedding flowers? Fortunately as today's tastes turning more and more toward minimalism the costs shrink with the number of flowers needed. This means that in today's fashion world it is easier than ever to put together a spectacular floral plan for a wedding without breaking the wedding budget. Take advantage of this trend with these four simple tips to save money and still have great looking wedding flowers.

Let Nature Work For You: If you choose an outdoor venue that is already beautiful all that will be needed are your own personal touches to tie everything together.

Let the Season Work For You: This is a two-fer – first, don't forget that most facilities decorate for holidays. If you schedule a wedding during these times most of your decorations are already provided with the venue. Second, make use of the flowers that are in season locally. It will save money and add a touch that embraces your unique heritage.

Let Your Budget Work For You: A tight budget is not a bad thing. It is simply keeping your feet in reality. Sure you might want a thousand guests, but cut that guest list in half and you will have fewer rows to decorate at the church and fewer tables to furnish with centerpieces. The same goes for your bridal party. For each member of the bridal party you will at very least need to furnish bouquets or boutonnieres.

Let Minimalism Work For You: Replace those huge centerpieces of the past with flower petals sprinkled on the table around an arrangement of your wedding favors for that table. Or sprinkle sand on the table around a small pail planted with grasses. Or fill a bowl with glass balls and / or fruit and vegetables. Or place old dolls or toys in the center of the table surrounded by your favorite accent.

Use what you have, with a little creativity you can create inexpensive yet stunning centerpieces. By taking advantage of today's trend toward minimalism you can save money on certain aspects of your wedding flowers so that you can spend it in another area that will help place your stamp on your wedding.
