Squeezing Every Petal Out of Your Floral Budget!
FOR THE LOVE OF FLOWERS:
Planning a lavish wedding that leaves everyone swooning can be a dream come true, but we totally get that budgets can sometimes be like a bouquet—gorgeous but needing careful handling. Fear not, because we're about to spill the bouquet (pun intended) on how to make your floral fantasies a reality without breaking the bank!
IN-SEASON SENSATIONS:
Picture this: you're walking down the aisle, surrounded by a symphony of vibrant blooms. Guess what? You can have your flowers and budget too! Opt for in-season flowers, and you'll not only save on costs but also make your arrangements look effortlessly chic. Think tulips in spring, dahlias in summer, and rich hydrangeas in fall.
THINK LOCAL FOR THE MOST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK:
Choosing a local florist not only adds a personal touch to your wedding but also reduces transportation costs. It's like embracing the charm of your area while keeping your budget in check. Bonus points, you're bound to get some truly unique blooms that your guests haven't seen a million times before.
Lucky for you, if you’re tying the knot in the Asheville area, we have a plethora of incredible local florists to choose from.
If it’s inspo you need, check out a few of our favorites below.
GREENERY GALORE:
Don't underestimate the power of greenery! Not only is it budget-friendly, but it also adds a touch of natural elegance. We're talking about luscious eucalyptus, romantic ivy, and sprigs of fern. These leafy wonders can fill out your arrangements while still giving off an opulent vibe. It's like Mother Nature's way of saying, "I got you covered”.
CEREMONY TO RECEPTION MAGIC:
Why let those gorgeous ceremony blooms go to waste after the "I dos"? Repurpose those beauties and take them from the aisle to the reception! Those stunning pedestals can become the backdrop for your sweetheart table, and those aisle markers can grace your cocktail hour. It's like giving your flowers a second chance to shine—and who doesn't love an encore?
THE BRIDESMAIDS REMIX:
Your bridesmaids deserve all the love for standing by your side. Extend that love by repurposing their bouquets! How? Use those lovely bundles as centerpieces for your reception tables. It's like a floral two-for-one deal that's as brilliant as it is budget-friendly. Plus, your girls will be thrilled to see their bouquets getting a starring role all over again.
So there you have it, with these tips up your sleeve, you're armed and ready to turn your floral budget into a masterpiece that'll leave your guests gasping in awe. Remember, it's all about getting creative, embracing the charm of local artisans, and letting those blooms work their magic. Happy planning, and may your wedding be as dreamy as a bed of roses!
