How much to spend on flowersHow much to spend on flowers is difficult when flowers can cost a fortune! The general rule is 10-30% of your budget, but you don't need to spend that kind of money. Think about the must haves and that will probably be your bridal bouquet and flowers for your bridesmaids. Don't save so much on the bridal bouquet that you don't like it, you may regret that when looking at photographs later. You could have corsages for your bridesmaids and baskets of flower petals for your flower girls. Corsages are becoming more popular as brides look to spend less on their flowers. The areas that you want to decorate with flowers may be the church or ceremoney venue and centerpieces for the table. My advice would be to spend the money where it will be seen the most; the top table and the entrance. If you are having flowers at a seperate venue for the ceremony you could move them to your reception venue. A good job for your groomsmen! Centerpieces don't have to be flowers, have a look at some alternative centerpiece ideas. Also ask at the venue that you are using, do they provide any flower arrangements within the price. Our wedding venue provided a great floral piece that we displayed at the entrance. And the most important piece of advice is work with your florist, they will know clever ways to save money on your designs and definately shop around for a florist that will work with your budget.
