Saving on Flowers...

This months issue of Brides Magazine has some great tips on saving money on your wedding day flowers. A few I thought were worth mentioning:

• "Go with simple, low centerpieces" - If you are doing floral centerpieces, consider using lower centerpieces as they use less flowers and are in turn less expensive.
• "Indulge on your bouquet" - Your bouquet will be in almost every picture, make sure you love it!
• "Steer clear of the holidays" - Very true, flowers are always more expensive during holidays such as Valentine's and Christmas. So, if you can plan for an April wedding instead of February, you may save some $$.
• "Use rose petals instead of the entire blossom" - You can usually get 200 petals from 15 roses, this is a perfect option for dressing up your tables.
