Never Under Estimate the Affect of Florals!
Your wedding flower choices can add an unforgettable element of power to your event. Long after people have forgotten about the favors, songs or food, the memory of your decor will remind them of your wedding. So it stands to reason that you would want your flowers to be one of the major elements of your style.
FRESH FLOWERS
Fresh Flowers are always a beautiful addition to any decor. They also do double duty by adding a subtle fragrance to the room. Using fresh flowers liberally throughout your event can take a big bite out of your bridal budget. But if you just have your heart set on using fresh florals, there are ways to do it and still save money.
- Use locally grown AND seasonal flowers.
- Find a large national flower chain. They offer options for every bride's price point.
- For the DIY (Do It Yourself Bride) don't rule out large chains like Costco, Sam's Club or even your local grocery store (just be sure to practice first and contact them far enough in advance to make sure they can accommodate your order).
ALTERNATIVES
Use silk flowers. The key to using silk flowers is the quality of the flower. Buy the best you can afford and your silks can be a scene-stealer.
(If you want the illusion of the flower fragrance, discretely use room freshener, scented oil or potpourri.)
Silk Flowers
Wooden roses delicately carved from wood shavings, can be a uniquely affordable alternative to real or artificial flowers.
Wooden Roses
Seasonal berries and fruit or vegetables can be used as either a filler or the main attraction.
And don't be afraid to use lots of greenery and filler to make your florals stretch further.
