Ultimately whatever the budget you have for your flowers you also want to make the most of it.

Your chosen florist will work with you to help you do this and equally important, the florist will guide you in your choice of fresh flowers and their alternatives.

Below are some practical suggestions that have been made which may set you thinking.

While our imaginations may get the best of us remember flowers in season at the time of your wedding are always the best value. There is an alternative that reduces costs further. You could consider silk flowers, which can even be rented or, dried flowers.

Style does not have to mean extravagant. Remember the size of the bouquets must balance and complement the dresses so expense can be saved by having simpler arrangements that still match everyone’s attire.

Single flowers are very effective and may be considered for the bridesmaids, mothers and grandmothers. Using ribbon, tulle and greenery can fill out the flowers.

Another consideration is the cost of making a flower arrangement soon mounts up with the more extravagant a bouquet or corsage becomes.

Reduce the complexity of an arrangement and keep your costs down.

The other option is to put the flowers together yourself. If you decide to do this take advice once again and do not overlook the smallest details.

Either way, remember that logistics and plans can change. A practical time frame for final decisions is 3 months.
