Inexpensive Wedding Flowers  

With the volume of items required for a wedding, the list of expenses always seems to grow faster than the budget. One area where a bride can cut a few corners without having to leave anything out is the flower budget. The availability of beautiful but inexpensive wedding flowers is something every bride should consider. These cost savvy options are creative, unique and a welcomed change to the typical wedding floral arrangements and bouquets.  

Inexpensive wedding flowers are an easy way to cut a potentially hefty floral budget. Certain flower types are much more cost efficient and will allow you to get more for your money. What might have been a sparse bouquet of roses can be a full and elegant bouquet of blooms such as daisies. Many brides think only of the white daisies with yellow centers and worry these will not match the color scheme or be too bland. However, the white flowers can be a great base for a bouquet tied with ribbons made of satin or tulle that matches your color pallet.  

Daisies, Sunflowers and Carnations 

 Daisies also come in several varieties and colors beyond white, including the popular Gerber daisies that typically have larger blooms than traditional daisies. The Gerber daisies come in assorted colors such as fuschias, oranges, bright yellows and reds as well as softer pinks. These flowers are typically very hearty and hold up well in bouquets and arrangements. 

Sunflowers are an excellent selection for cheap wedding flowers. The sizes and varieties of sunflowers can be a great option, especially for summer weddings or relaxed receptions. The giant varieties are often what we think of, however, smaller sunflower varieties can be paired beautifully with a number of colors and floral accents. Brilliant blues and deep purples are creative matches for bright yellow. Black-eyed Susan’s are another variety of flower that is very similar to the size of a daisy but in the colors of a sunflower and could make a great cost efficient alternative.  

Carnations are flowers with standard and mini versions that come in a wide range of colors but can also be dyed to match your color pallet. These beautiful blossoms can be great accents to a bouquet or arrangement, or stand beautifully on their own, particularly in tight bunches that create an ornate and delicate shape out of the paper thin petals.  

Seasonal Options 

Other flowers that are in season can be bought at very reasonable prices such as tulips in the early spring, roses in the summer and chrysanthemums during the fall season. If your wedding is near a holiday, large quantities of holiday festive blooms may be able to be purchased at discounted prices such as poinsettias during the Christmas holidays and lilies near Easter.   

Inexpensive wedding flowers don’t have to look cheap. There are many creative and unique ways to incorporate your color pallet and overall ambiance with the use of flowers that didn’t break the budget. Consulting a florist with an idea of your budget and the amount of boutenirs, arrangements, centerpieces, corsages and bouquets will help to better organize your floral design.   

With all the time on money spent on dresses and flowers you need to remember the day beautifully so have a read of creative wedding photography before deciding on a photographer.
