When looking for a way to cut on cost of your flower arrangements during your wedding you need to make a few considerations to ensure you remain within your budget. The first step to take when planning for your wedding is by choosing flowers that you can quickly get during the time of your wedding. When you choose flowers that are out of season it may be more challenging for your florist to find them hence they will be costly. When you hold a session with the florist for the consultation, you need to ask them to see only flowers that will be on season at the time you will have your wedding. You can also consider using flowers in more than one event since they will still be in good condition. Flowers can maintain their condition for a maximum period of fourteen days which makes it possible to use same flowers in more than one occasion. Once you share your flowers you are likely to get a certain percentage back of the total cost of the flowers. Searching on the Internet will guide you to locate some of the flowers you can buy from a first event at a slightly lower price.
You can introduce more greenery in your flower arrangements as this is more affordable than any other type of flower. Find out the different greenery options which are available that you can select for decorating the reception area. Flower arrangements that are made from different kind of flowers are attractive and highly priced. When you want to maintain a low budget you need to choose fewer kinds of flowers in the floral arrangement. When the flower arrangements include fewer types of flowers the florist will buy large pieces of flowers that will translate to low cost. The florist can be used in two different venues where the wedding will take place which will reduce the number of flowers required. When you use same flowers for your different venues you will save on cost since you only need to get a few pieces. You should hire a florist within your local area to save on the cost of transport. When you choose a florist in your neighborhood they will choose a local supplier which eliminates the high cost of transportation that could translate to the price of flowers.
You should let the florist understand why they need to work with your budget during the consultation. Ask the florist to choose bigger blooms to make the arrangement look fuller. Select a wedding venue that may not require a lot of flowers for it to be attractive for you to use fewer flowers.
