Top 10 Ways to Save on Flowers & Decorations
By Leah Steenstra
1.
Use candles for centerpieces instead of
flowers.
2.
Decorate with balloons.
3.
Use silk flowers. They always
cost less
than fresh flowers, plus they can be rented!
4.
Bridal bouquets can double during the
reception as decoration for the head table, cake or
gift tables.
5.
To really save costs, have each bridesmaid
carry a single bloom.
6.
Make your own pew bows instead of purchasing
them. See Making Pew Bows.
7.
Use more greenery, tulle, and baby’s breath
for decorating, and less flower blooms.
8.
Use only flowers that are in season.
9.
If your ceremony site is having more than one
wedding that day, contact the other bride and talk
about sharing decoration expenses.
Purchase candles, white lights, and other
decorations after the holidays when everything goes
on sale. After Christmas sales are great!
