Are you having a wedding this year and looking for wedding flower arrangements? Do you need wedding planning tips to help cut cost? Here are 7 tips for making DIY wedding flowers cost effective:
A couple years ago, a dear friend of mine out of town helped out a friend of mine with DIY wedding flower arrangements for her very rustic barn wedding in a tent. She obviously had a huge wedding of 200 plus guests to look through and did not want to waste a fortune on flowers. Her list of wedding florists was minimal, only three or four, so that left us with a lot of options. We had a great wedding planning guide that laid out all the different types of bouquets. The book gave instructions on how to make them using various sizes and flower varieties of each arrangement.
The first thing we tried out was to make a makeshift bouquet of wildflowers and mixed them up with some bridal flowers. It worked well, but was very time consuming and it was a real hassle to take care of the bouquets. After that, we tried out some of the more traditional ways of making wedding flower arrangements, namely making use of fresh flowers and dried flowers. You can either do it yourself using fresh flowers or get a wedding planner who specializes in making DIY dried flower arrangements. They have the know-how and expertise to make sure everything comes out perfect. With fresh flowers, the wedding planning could be done by yourself and if needed, the planners would provide some suggestions and guidelines as to how to make the wedding flower arrangements come out.
For a beach wedding, fresh flowers combined with seashells makes for a beautiful yet unique floral display that will leave an unforgettable impression on your guests. There are several different methods used in floristry to accomplish a great result. These include tying ribbons, making use of shells placed in vases and using seashells that are placed into vases. All these methods require that you have to make arrangements to buy the flowers and also to arrange them properly before they get to the reception hall.
You should make a list of all the florists near you and try to get some tips from them regarding buying cheap flowers. If you live nearby a florist, all you need to do is ask the florist about tips for buying flowers and arranging them according to the wedding theme. Florists have their own ideas and you might get some tips that you could implement to save some money.
Most people think that wedding flowers should be big and beautiful, but sometimes it’s nice to have small arrangements that can still make a statement about your personality and style. Sunflowers can be one of the easiest flowers to arrange. They come in so many different varieties that you will easily find sunflowers that suit any wedding theme or color scheme. Whether you are planning a beach wedding or something a little more elegant, you should definitely consider sunflowers as part of your bouquet.
Other tips for your free wedding theme planning include things like using candy in place of flowers. Although candy doesn’t really add any style or sophistication to your arrangement, it can still make for a good decorative element. If you don’t want to buy candy, you can just take leftover sprinkles and mix them with other items that you already have in your home to create your own edible flower arrangements.
The best wedding bouquets are made of real wedding flowers. But, if you’re not sure, you can use fake versions. These wedding bouquets are usually less expensive, which is why they are often a good alternative. Just be sure to look through wedding flower alternatives before you decide. You’ll find some that will work perfectly well for your wedding day and taste. And, no matter what, you’ll want your bouquets to look beautiful, which is why you should plan ahead.
