Use greenery
If you are looking to dress up your ceremony and/or reception but don’t want to use flowers, greenery is a wonderful option. Greenery fits in with so many different style venues and all kinds of tablescapes. We love greenery with an industrial, loft style vibe. Tropical greenery works wonderfully for beach and destination weddings. Soft, flowing greenery such as garlands and wreaths can add romance to a rustic, vintage, venue. Greenery tends to be easier to work with, fills in more, and of course costs less than flowers.
Swap out pricey blooms
So many of our expensive flowers have less expensive alternatives. If you are flexible on the exact flower, we can stretch your budget even further! For example, carnations can give the same effect as peonies. Some rose varieties share similarities with garden roses. Swapping chrysanthemums or spray roses for ranunculus can be another way to save money. If you are in need of help with this, don’t hesitate to contact us so we can walk you through it!
