Saving Tips For Wedding Flowers
Copyright
2001, by Rose Smith
a) Find
out if another wedding will be held at your church or synagogue that
day or the day before your wedding. If so, you can contact that bride
and find out if she would like to share the cost of the flowers with
you.
b) After
the ceremony, arrange to have the flowers taken to the reception location.
c) Instead
of a full bouquet of flowers for you and your bridesmaids, carry one
or two dramatic flowers instead. They look just as elegant and the
cost will be significantly less than full bouquets.
d) Try
to use flowers that are in season.
e) Use
garlands of ivy or evergreens for decorating, instead of flowers -
it's less expensive and can be used to decorate doorways and the front
of tables.
f) Use
potted plants instead of cut flowers. In fact, if you start early
enough, you can grow your own flowering potted plants.
