If you need to save money on your wedding budget, your wedding décor is one of the first things couples think of. Here are 8 easy ways save money on wedding décor, and still have a gorgeous wedding.
8 Ways To Save Money On Wedding Décor
1. Pick flowers that are available year-round. Not only are year-round blooms, such as roses, stock, and carnations more affordable, they also come in many different colors.
2. An easy way to save money on wedding décor is to make it your “Something Borrowed” – borrow unique vases, bowls or pitchers. You’ll get a more personalized look, and save by not having to buy or rent vases.
3. Use bigger blooms. Larger flowers like hydrangea and peonies are money-saving since you’ll need less blooms to make a beautiful arrangement.
3 Money Saving Tips Without Sacrificing Style for Your Wedding
4. “Go Green” – Save money by incorporating greenery into your arrangements. Eucalyptus, lemon leaf, or pittosporum are great fillers, and look great.
5. Have your arrangements do double duty. Reuse ceremony pew décor, altar arrangements and even your bouquets at the reception. You’ve paid for them, so be sure to get your money’s worth.
6. Instead of having a variety of flowers, only use one type of flower for all of your centerpieces. This allows your florist to buy in bulk, thereby saving you money in the end.
7. K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple, Sweetie). Choose simple arrangements such as a loose grouping of flowers, or just a few blooms in small bud vases instead of large labor-intensive, time-consuming centerpieces.
8. Be open to the types of flowers used in your arrangements. Instead of insisting on a specific type of flower, tell your florist the colors and silhouette you want for your bouquet and arrangements and have him suggest budget-friendly options.
