Reduce the Cost of Your Wedding Flowers

Cut Costs, Not Stems

• Silk arrangements are often available for rent or purchase. Check with your floral designer.
• Herbs and greenery can replace flowers at informal weddings.
• Bouquets can do double duty as centerpieces.
• Use more greenery, tulle, baby’s breath and other fillers. Fewer blooms mean fewer dollars.
• Candles, balloons and potted flowers become original centerpieces with a dash of creativity.
• Rent large potted green plants to liven up the reception room.
• Extra long tablecloths sweep the floor, adding an elegant, inexpensive touch to your reception.
• Wreaths covered in satin, tulle or silk flowers can be made for as little as $5 each.
• Float flowers or candles for lovely centerpieces.
• Consider glass hurricane lamps or luminarias for evening affairs.
