Tips for Wedding Flowers
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.
