Memberstarting the wedding prep FAR in advance, (i haven’t even popped the question yet) but I wanted to know what are some cheap but expensive looking flowers that you could incorporate into a wedding.I like the look of Hydrangeas and have seen them paired with roses. But i know roses are expensive.
I also like lillies and tulips, but they don’t seem as a wedding flower to me
Thoughts!
Member@otto2008: Any and all flowers can be wedding flowers. Are you looking for bouquets, centerpieces or both?
Is your wedding in December? White poinsettias can be used for elegant centerpieces.
Have you looked on Pinterest for some ideas?
Member@julies1949: I would like to married in December since it’s the 12-13-14 day 🙂 but my wedding won’t be until 2015 or so.
my gf likes coral and grey for our wedding colors so flowers that go well with coral. I haven’t checked pinterest
Member@otto2008: one way to doit is to submerge some of your flowers. It magnifies them, and you don’t have to use as many to get that “wow” factor.
Member@otto2008: lisisanthius are cheap but beautiful and look similar to roses.
Member@excitedtobeMRSF: OOOOOOOOOOO and those come in coral!!!!
Memberwhen you put a tooooon of carnations together, they give the look of peonies or cabbage roses. This is my bouquet, my sis made it for like 30 bucks with flowers from the grocery store. It can be done cheaply but still look nice.
Memberwhat is your flower budget? also, remember that your flower selection is more limited in the winter.
MemberReal of fake? I had fresh flowers, but I have sen weddings where he used Hobby Lobby flowers and they looked gorgeous!
Member@excitedtobeMRSF: Lisanthus are absolutely beautiful!!
@otto2008: Roses aren’t actually that expensive, depending on where you get them. Stock flowers can be beautiful and so are carnations if they are done right. Getting married in the spring helps too because more flowers are readily available and are cheaper because they don’t have to be shipped from South America.
Member@otto2008: I’m not sure what all is available in December. Hydrangeas aren’t cheap, but they are larger, so they make more impact per bunch.
Carnations can be used in a way that really makes a nice elegant arrangement, and baby’s breath can be really pretty and romantic as well.
Tulips will probably be expensive in December as well, depending on where you are, you’ll have to get them flown in, I imagine. Lilies tend to be pretty pricey as well.
We are doing all local flowers – if you try to get a florist that does that, you should save a nice chunk.
Depending on your style, incorporating greenery can save a little, as well. Or, you can do some big blooms in bud vases. The possiblities are endless!
Member@luckylady3090: your boquet is gorgeous!! do you have any more pictures of it that you could post?
Member@atlbride2013: no budget yet, just trying to get an idea of what looks good so I don’t have to go to a flower shop and be confused
MemberAnother vote for lisianthus! Also stock flowers give tremendous bang for the buck.
Member@otto2008: All flowers look good. As others have suggested, fillers like baby breath and carnations are lovely and very inexpensive.
