I have wedding this coming May. I'm not totally familiar as to what flowers and/or arrangements to look at?

I don't want to get screwed by some florist suggesting flowers for every single decoration. I don't have a big budget at all.

You can do as little or as much as you wish. I was on a budget and my bridesmaids carried one long stem rose. I have also worked 4 years as a florist and you have the say in what you want. You won't be screwed, they want to help and will work with you no matter your budget.
Reply:Do contact a few florists or look on-line to see what flowers are in season. This helps to keep costs down. If there is a Farmer's Market in your area start going a few months before your wedding . Find a vendor you like. In our area there are a lot of flower peddlers that have beautiful bouquets for about $8.00 %26amp; that is for the most extravagant flowers and they are already arranged. Buy some vases check out the dollar store and less expensive stores like Target. Just keep in mind that this is something that will be thrown away or given to your guests to enjoy or perhaps given to a nursing home.
Reply:Your best bet is to tell three florists your budget and ask them what they can do for you. Once you pick your flower homey, then just sit back and trust them. You have enough to worry about....
Reply:hi, since you said that you dont have that big budget for your wedding i can suggest that you can go to dangwa or visit divisoria so you can have an idea. good luck to your wedding
Reply:what colors are in your wedding, i would just try to go with them and you dont need the florist to tell you what you need, just pick what you like and then you can decide how you want then arranged, i just took petals of each flower color and plavced them on my tables at the reception and it only cost me 50 for the flowers for the reception so do fret. AND CONGRATS
Reply:Go to your local florists and ask them to let you look at their wedding books. You can find arrangements that you like and then do them in your wedding colors. It is fun to look through the books and you will get lots of ideas.
Reply:Roses and orchids are expensive, carnations and daisies usually aren't. Keep it all simple, if it's a church wedding, you'll need something for the alter, but usually you can transfer those flowers to your reception site, if you like.....


Check into silk flowers too, you may know someone that can do your flowers up for you, buying flowers from a hobby store or a discount store.....


and Congrats on your upcoming wedding....
Reply:Ok this is just my opinion, but I have always thought lilies were more tasteful for a wedding than roses. They are less common and look very nice in an arrangement. See what your budget can afford, when all is said and done, any flower looks nice when they are neatly and tastefully done. Good luck!
Reply:It is your wedding and YOU decide what YOU like.
Reply:ive heard (other than vday) roses are the least expensive for weddings. i can't say for sure, i meet with my 1st florist tomorrow. i'm going to at least 3, and i would recommend that. one being a grocey store. my friend had her flowers done at a grocery store, and they were SO beautiful and the price was good. you need some ceremony arrangements- maybe 2. flowers for you and attendants, parents, ushers, people who do readings. you don't need flowers on your cake table (some people have a flowers arch). you don't NEED flowers on pews, you can use bows! some churches already have these. also, daises are inexpensive and pretty. you don't nee flowers for centerpieces at reception, either, there are plenty of less expensive alternatives. p.s. if you know someone who can arrange flowers, you can buy 100 stems of roses from costco for like $85!!
Reply:im not sure where you are but im from sydney australia and i paid $990.00 for my flowers.


i have a large bouquet of white lillies and red roses and my maid of honour and 2 bridesmaids had small bouquets made up of red and white roses. (their dresses were red).


i also received a tiny basket of red and white roses for the flower girl to hold as well as a hair piece made up of the same roses to go around her hair.


i got 6 botton hole flower things (forgot what they are called!!!) for my hubby, best man and 2 grooms men, the page boy and my fater inlaw and a corsage for my mum.


they also had 3 HUGE flower displays at the church and a flower arrangement on every second pew of the church along the aisle.


i thought all that was pretty cheap!!!!!


the reception place looked after the table arragements which was included in their costs.


hope that helped!!!!
Reply:I always buy flowers from Costco (if you have a membership)- you can get 2 dozen roses for $14. They also have wedding packages available online that can be ordered for your special day. Quite affordable and good quality in my opinion. Check these packages out. Good Luck!
