Affordable Wedding Flowers
This bride wanted it all, including an affordable budget. We re-purposed her alter garland, bridesmaids bouquets, and pew decorations for the reception for an overall inexpensive budget. She didn't lose a bit of elegance for the wedding or the reception by doing this. What can we do to help you do the same for your big day, and insure your wedding is talked about long after the "I do's"?

Wedding garlands can run anywhere from $10/ft up to $30/ft. or more. Greens only usually start at the $10. Add in flowers, and the cost starts to climb. There are alternatives to a true garland, which is a continuous, connected "string" of greens (and flowers if you so desire). For indoor weddings, where you don't have to worry about the wind, you can have a beautiful "garland look" by laying down 2-3 layers of various greens. Much more cost effective, just as beautiful, and it offers a very similar elegance as the real deal. My favorite "garland look"? Silver dollar eucalyptus layered on top of tree fern down the middle of the table. Sure, you can include other greens in that mix as well. Just a couple thoughts to keep things affordable and inexpensive for that elegant look you might be trying to achieve.
