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.
