5 Quick Tips to Save Money on Your Wedding Flowers

1. Substitute costly flowers. Using flowers like calla lilies, orchids, peonies, and garden roses can be more expensive than regular roses.

2. Opt for more greeneries than flowers, like ivy, ti leaves, pittosporum, lycopodium, lion's head, ming, foxtail fern, seeded eucalyptus, and hosta. These are some greens which are great for weddings and cheaper than using expensive flowers.
        

3. Choose seasonal flowers. Having a wedding bouquet with seasonal flowers not only lessen the cost but are higher quality than using off-season flowers.

4. Stick to one or two types of flowers. Even with just one or two types of flowers, your wedding bouquet can look simple and elegant.
         

5. Use more non-florals, like materials. There are many materials like lanterns, candles, rocks, branches, tissue paper pom poms which can compliment the flowers and save you money.
        

Setting Up a Florist Appointment for Your Wedding

After spending a week to a month figuring out the styles and prices of the florists in your local area, go ahead and choose the florist you would like to work with for your wedding. The florist you choose must be able to match your personality to the floral arrangements she designs. In fact, make sure you see some of the florist's works.

When setting up your wedding appointment with your florists, tell them your budget for the wedding, if you have any ideas/themes, wedding date, and more ideas that you want the florist to recommend. This way, your florist will be able to provide you with some new ideas to help you imagine your wedding at the appointment.

In terms of budgets, if you give your florist a budget for how much you want to spend on your wedding, the florist can figure out some ways to substitute flowers or cut the costs.

Also, make sure you come into the wedding appointment with an open mind because not all ideas may work out. If you have a specific flower that you wanted for your wedding but the flower isn't in season, the cost to find the flower may be expensive. For example, if your holding the wedding in the winter but want to hold a bouquet of lily of the valleys, it won't be likely, due to the flowers not being in season.

So it is important to always be open-minded and willing to see new ideas.
Good luck!
