Cost-Effective Wedding Flowers
Flowers can say a lot about the bride, from her taste to her wedding budget.
Whether a bride has a large or small budget is irrelevant to the importance of the presence of wedding flowers.
While weddings and the accompanying receptions can be beautiful without the presence of flowers, such weddings lack the elegance and grace that having flowers provide.
Therefore, whether simple or extravagant, brides should make sure that they have both bouquets for themselves and their bridesmaids as well as flowers at each table during the reception.
With the current worldwide economic crisis many brides are trying to find cost efficient alternatives to the more expensive weddings of the past.
However no bride wishes to skimp on beauty or elegance at their wedding.
If cost is an issue in your wedding, there are numerous ways to make flowers an affordable part of the wedding costs.
Ideas include having a more extravagant bouquet for the bride and using color coordinated flowers for the bridesmaids that are cheaper.
Flowers such as Gerber daisies and tulips are both beautiful and inexpensive and make great additions to bridesmaid bouquets.
Bridesmaid bouquets can then be used for the centerpieces of the head table during the receptions.
Another very fun but still beautiful way to include flowers in your wedding is to have bridesmaids create their own bouquets and create the reception centerpieces as a group.
A day or two before the wedding, find a local flower market or vendor and buy single flowers in a variety of types and colors (within your theme of course).
Make it a fun event as part of a bridal shower or bachelorette party where each bridesmaid can then create their own bouquet.
Again, these bouquets can be used as centerpieces if desired.
It is helpful that the current wedding trends reflect simplistic elegance and that having a bouquet with a single type of flower or a small yet beautiful bouquet is in style at the moment.
Brides should take advantage of these trends when attempting to plan a stylish yet budget friendly wedding.
A wedding day is one of the most important days of a person's life and flowers can play a large role in the day and the aesthetic of that day.
Whether simple or over the top, flowers should be used to reflect the bride's taste and her viewpoint for her wedding.
There are many cost-effective yet fun and stylish ways to go about this.
