Wedding Flowers

Flowers are typically incorporated into a wedding in the following ways:

• Bridal Bouquet and Bridesmaids' Bouquets
• Corsages and Boutonnieres
• Flower Girl Baskets
• Ceremony Aisle and Altar Flower Arrangements
• Huppah or Gazebo Arrangements
• Aisle Runner (Fresh Rose Petals, etc.)
• Petals for Guests to Toss
• Reception Centerpieces
• Cocktail Hour Table Centerpieces
• Bar or Buffet Station Arrangements
• Fresh Flowers for Wedding Cake Display
• Arrangements for Entrance, Lounge Areas and Restrooms

Creative Ways to Save on the Cost of Flowers

1. Ask your florist what flowers will be in season on the date of your wedding. Purchasing in-season flowers are generally significantly less expensive that their out-of-season counterparts.
    
2. Decide on and order simple, elegant arrangements of flowers from a discount retailer, such as these calla lilies from Walmart.com:
   
   White Calla Lilies
    
3. Since the cost of ordering floral arrangements and bouquets is normally considerable, you might consider making your bridal bouquet or floral centerpiece arrangements on your own.

   Pick a Petal is a unique online service that offers a wonderful do-it-yourself system for making your own floral bouquets like the one below:

    

   

   I was actually amazed at how beautiful these do-it-yourself arrangements turned out... And the best part is, only YOU will know that you didn't spend a bundle when your guests see you walking down the aisle with a gorgeous (and quite expensive-looking) bouquet!
