Money Saving wedding flowers
« on: December 14, 2011, 12:15:35 pm »

If your wedding is at a time of year in which flowers bloom readily, maryannbridal told consider using flowers from your garden, or from assorted friends and relatives. This could be a little risky, so you may need a Plan B, in case nature interferes with a sudden harsh hot or cold spell, or locusts attack, or the dog digs up all the flowering plants etc! With a bit of research and planning (and a Plan B) you might even try planting seedlings, far enough in advance, to bloom for your wedding. These can even be used in their pots for stunning displays, and picked for boquets.
Using beautifully toned foliage for a lot of your displays, maybe with just a few accent flowers, can be magnificent. These can often easily be obtained from trees and bushes of friends and family for no cost.
For table decorations, maryannbridal told consider using beautiful objects from nature amongst a few flowers or foliage. Things such as pine cones, native cones, bark, fascinating small pieces of wood, shells and the like can be incorporated into your displays. Also consider costume jewellery, if you have it, such as strands of faux pearls or attractive beads, twisted amongst flowers.
If your wedding is at the appropriate time, look for roadside/garden flower sellers. For instance, around Mothers Day many people sell beautiful bunches of chrysanthemums for a good price. These come in quite a variation of colour, so if you like this flower maryannbridal said you might consider arranging to buy bulk bunches from one of these people. You may even personally know someone who does this, and could arrange well in advance for them to supply them.

It is far easier to engage a florist than to grow flowers especially in Singapore weather...
