Splurge or Save: Florals?

Maybe a mix of real and silk flowers or your bouquet go with real and bridesmaids have silk/ carry something unique or nothing (I'm thinking of cutting their flowers to save costs).


Up to you really. If you want real flowers perhaps opt for more fillers (less expensive plants/greenery ) to help keep cost lower.
*I believe traditionally the reason behind carrying flowers was because bathing wasn't a common thing/ luxury expense. Bridal party carried flowers to hide the smell, soooo just make sure everyone baths and tou should be good.

Found clearance bouquets at micheals for my bridesmaids they were 60% off I have them ready for next year and will be malinfy own just like I did for my backyard ceremony this year.

Save. My mom and I are going to diy centerpieces and bouquets with artificial flowers that I can sell to another budget bride afterwards.

Splurge we really want real flowers everywhere, but we also saved because we are reusing our ceremony flowers at our reception

Splurge. I really want real flowers.

Save! Artificial flowers all around! Purchased at Michael's using coupons, and managing to keep my crap together and organized on Black Friday!

I love flowers. They are 10% of our budget.

Save. We are doing nice fake flower and just the bouquets and boutineers.

SAAAAVE. Aside from bouquets & boutonnieres, there are no flowers at our wedding. I even made pine cone "bouquets" for the centrepieces. Flowers don't really grow in January... so I don't need a see of expensive cut ones at my wedding

Centrepiece Mockup

Save, I got custom made wooden bouquets

Splurge! I wanted real flowers and real flowers will be had

Save as rental did the job of vases and floral balls for its simplicity and natural look.

Save. Flowers are so expensive for such a short time and we valued some other things more.

Save. My sister-in-law offered to do them and she is just charging the cost of the flowers. She took a class and made bouquets for 1 other wedding so I am glad she offered!

Save! I bought a bunch from multiple brides and am just going to add to my current bouquets and keep the flowers on the table simple.

Save! Want them simple.

Save because my boss grows some Beautiful flowers ❤

SAVE! Gonna go to Micheal's or dollar store and make our own bouquets with the fake flowers

We hand-made our boutonnieres, bridesmaids bouquets, and centerpieces with bulk flowers from Costco (primarily baby's breath and eucalyptus), and they turned out wonderfully. With a large wedding party of 9 bridesmaids and 6 groomsmen, it was a great way to save. And out of all things to splurge on, I chose photography/videography over flowers. Just make sure you have help from family/friends– you don't want to be scrambling on your own 2 days before the wedding!

Save, I'm having a broach bouquet and the rest of the wedding will have real flowers even though originally I had wanted paper or perler flowers. They are included in the package so we might as well get real flowers

I will be having real floral arrangements but they will be simple and with readily available flowers in order to try and save money.

Save. I found that the centerpieces are where the cost of flowers is really going to add up so I am trying to come up with something else as a center piece besides a flower arrangement. But the bridal party and parents will have beautiful pieces made professionally.

Save. My fiancé's grandmother have a friend that owns/works in the flower shop and we can get discount for the bridal party and for centrepieces, either real or artificial flowers.

Save here too, we are only getting flowers for the bridal party. The centrepieces will be silk flowers to save money there.

Splurge but I am working with a tight budget because we want to buy a home. I am doing corsage, bouquet and boutinerre s no other flowers

Save. We did my bouquet and my hubby's boutonnière. No florals otherwise.

Save! I'm designing my centrepieces with flowers from Costco. However... I am leaving it up to the professionals in regards to our bouquets!

Save, we have a family friend who is a florist so she is giving us a deal

Definitely save,, we're not having much flowers at all.

Save!!!! !!!!!!

I'd save here

I spent a decent amount on the flowers for myself, the bridal party and boutonniere's for the groomsman and groom. However I saved by not having flowers at my reception besides our bouquets on the head table and then in our centerpieces, we had 3 fake flowers in each one and those were bought from the dollar store.
