Flowers are great at weddings. They look attractive and can bring together the whole theme. The problem with flowers is that they can become quite costly especially once you have got flowers for all the people at the wedding from bride and groom to bridesmaids and family. Here we have come up with some tips to reduce the costs while still having great wedding flowers. Friends and family are always willing to help out, and usually they are glad to be a part of your wedding. Perhaps someone you know has done some flower arranging in the past and would be willing to offer some of their time to help you out. The flowers used in the church or ceremony venue could be moved and re-used at the reception venue, or used for decorations on the tables. Buttonholes and bouquets are a lot easier to make than you may think and it is possible to find videos demonstrating the techniques. Using seasonal flowers and not trying to produce overly grand arrangements but, rather, keeping things simple are sound wedding flowers ideas. Use simple single stem arrangements using larger flowers like roses, hydrangeas and lilies along with some green leaves, to create cheap elegant arrangements. Add simple decorations like ribbons feathers and costume jewels to add inexpensive finishing touches to a bouquet. Bridesmaids do not have to carry a full bouquet. A corsage attached to the wrist compliments their dress and is another of our suggested wedding flowers ideas which not only saves money but leaves hands free to hold the bridal bouquet and to assist any younger children such as page boys, ring bearers or younger bridesmaids. Single flowers such as roses and carnations can be made into buttonholes. Use two flowers for fathers of the bride and groom and other family members. Create corsages for the mothers using these simple techniques. Does the venue you have hired already have flowers included in the deal, and if a church wedding has been planned perhaps they have a flower committee who can create arrangements for you which could be left in the church for display afterwards. Perhaps there is another wedding at the venue on the day. If so try to arrange with the other brides to see if you can share the wedding flowers and the costs. During these difficult times try to hire pedestals and vases for larger arrangements, it is possible to hire instead of buy which can save money.
