Flowers for a Wedding Cost

A recent study showed that on average, the floral arrangements for weddings account for ten percent of the overall cost of the average wedding. Considering we are talking about something that will be dead in a week's time, this is quite a lot of money to spend. And while of course, money in theory is not all that important when it comes to such a special occasion, we are all a little short of cash these days. In my opinion, if you want to find a place to cut down on the costs of your wedding, the flowers for a wedding cost category is a pretty good place to start. Especially considering it is possible to still get very beautiful flowers at a low price as I will now outline.

Lowering the Flowers for a Wedding Cost Tip #1

Naturally the first means of lowering the flowers for a wedding cost involves simply purchasing cheaper flowers. Very few brides are likely to be in favour of this idea; however it is actually possible to purchase very beautiful flowers without spending a fortune. Perfect examples of beautiful flowers that do not cost a lot are Gerber daisies. They come in a variety of colours including orange, red and pink and when arranged properly they can rival even roses and yet come in at a fraction of the price. You should also remember that most people are not exactly experts on flowers for a wedding cost therefore few of your guests are likely to be aware that you have purchased flowers that are particularly cheap.

Lowering the Flowers for a Wedding Cost Tip #2

If the bride simply cannot be convinced about cheaper flowers, it is also possible to simply buy relatively expensive flowers but to do so in smaller quantities. Some flowers have very large blooms and as such few of them can be purchased and still take up the same amount of space as far smaller flowers. Hydrangeas are your best bet if you are looking for wide blooms and they are very beautiful and come in a variety of mellow colours including blue, purple and pink.

Lowering the Flowers for a Wedding Cost Tip #3

Of course the way to lower the flowers for a wedding cost the most is to simply get them for free. There are many beautiful flowers that grow in the wild and can simply be picked leading to the flowers for a wedding cost actually becoming zero. My personal favourite within this category are sunflowers. They are one of the brightest choices for a wedding and though it can be tricky to find colours that do not clash with the shocking contrast between yellow and brown, should you manage to pull it off the results can be spectacular.

In conclusion, though in theory everything has to be perfect for the big day that does not mean that everything has to be expensive. By choosing one of the very straight forward options outlined here, you should be able to significantly lower the price of at least one area of your wedding without significantly harming the overall effect.
