2. Grow your own flowers
Do you have a green thumb? Why not grow your own flowers? Whether you start growing them inside or if you decide to grow perennials that are in bloom by your big day, anyone can grow beautiful flowers. This option is not only cost effective but is also very memorable and rewarding.
3. Buy wholesale flowers
If you’re not quite into growing your own flowers but are up for the task of creating your own arrangements, perhaps buying wholesale is your best bet. Buying wholesale allows you to order numerous amounts of flowers for much less than if you were to purchase decorative floral arrangements. Flowers arrive at your door ready to be arranged by you or your friends. Different businesses have different delivery requirements, policies and prices, so be sure to research and compare.
4. Work with farmers markets
Farmers markets are fantastic. They can help you save money and are great for you local economy. Contact floral farmers that sell at your local farmers market and find out if they would want to work something out with you for your big day. Most likely they will and most likely you will love it.
5. Use silk flowers or make your own
Our last tip is to buy silk flowers or to make your own with brooches, fabric or paper. These options are more affordable and eco-friendly, but creating your own arrangements will take more time. Not a problem if you have creative friends!
