I’m reading more and more about the economy having a major impact on wedding plans of couples all around the world. In a recent website survey 66% of couples (that’s right, two-thirds) have had to change their wedding plans because of the financial crisis. There’s a trickle down effect too - couples cutting back means businesses also feel the pinch.
However, there are ways to save a lot of money without having a noticeable affect on your wedding day. Amazing Wedding Planning is packed with sensible and practical ideas that will save you a packet - and you won’t need to buy wedding flowers at the supermarket like a bride in this article.
One of the most important things I think you can do to save money on your wedding flowers is to be honest with your florist about your budget. You may not be able to have the exact same flowers that you had initially envisaged, but that doesn’t mean you need to resort to cheap looking, budget buys.
A good florist will be able to work with you and make suggestions to achieve something you are happy with AND that fits into your budget. It may mean substituting less expensive flowers, using cheaper flowers as fillers in your arrangements or even using other materials to enhance your flowers. A little discussion and thinking outside the square with someone who understands your situation will go a long, long way.
You can find more saving ideas in my previous post 7 ways to save when you buy wedding flowers. And don’t forget to check out Amazing Wedding Planning. It’s a super resource that you really can’t afford to be without when it comes to saving money on your wedding.
