Cost cutting Considerations
Select flowers that are in season
Simple arrangements
Use one large impact piece
Consider using non-blooming pieces (potted herbs, topiaries, fruit, etc)
Pick your own blooms
Be mindful of holidays (flowers may be more expensive if your wedding date is close to
Valentine’s, Mother’s Day, Christmas or other holidays)
Personalizing your Bridal Bouquet
The bouquet is a perfect place to incorporate “something borrowed” or something meaningful from your
loved ones. You may want to hold the bouquet with a special handkerchief or wrap the stems with a piece
of fabric from your mother’s wedding gown. Display a photo in a locket securely pinned to the stems of the
flowers in your bouquet. You may want to add sentimental meaning to your day by carrying the same
type of flower your mother or grandmother carried on their wedding day.
