Tips to Have Beautiful Wedding Flowers on a
Budget
2

• Many factors can influence the actual cost of
  wedding flowers, including the time of year and
  location of the event, the size of the event, the
  number of different types of flowers, etc. Here
  are some options to keep your flower budget under
  control.

• SHARE YOUR BUDGET WITH YOUR WEDDING PLANNER AND
  FLORIST
• Be upfront about your budget as well as your
  dream wedding flowers if you choose to work with
  a florist.  As long as you are flexible with your
  ideas, they will be able to create something
  beautiful in your budget.

• MULTI-PURPOSE ARRANGEMENTS
• With a little careful planning, nearly all of
  your arrangements from the ceremony can do double
  duty at the reception.  Bridal and bridesmaid
  bouquets can become centerpieces for the head
  table, and the altar flowers can become decor for
  the cake or gift table.

5

• SHOP SEASONALLY
• Choose flowers that are in season where your
  wedding will be.  Getting flowers that are not in
  season where you are will cost you premium prices.

6

• LARGER BLOOMS
• By choosing flowers with large blooms, you will
  have to buy fewer stems to create the same
  effect.  A single hydrangea or a couple of peony
  blossoms can do what it would take a dozen
  smaller blooms to cover.

7

• LESS EXPENSIVE BLOOMS
• An alternative to using large blooms is to use
  lots of less expensive flowers or greenery and
  filler to create a large statement piece for less
  cost than an arrangement of the same size made
  totally from flowers or from more expensive
  flowers.
