As I mentioned elsewhere in this blog, we didn't have
flowers at our wedding. My son was two at the time. As any mom of a tot will
tell you, that doesn't leave time to plan anything, much less shop for the perfect,
pocketbook-friendly flower arrangements.
Plus, wedding flower arrangements are hugely expensive! The
costs averages $385 PER centerpiece, as per the Wedding Report.
So, we didn't have flowers. We had painted centerpieces
created by my buddy, Laura of Laurasglassart.com.
However, if floral is your thang, then check these frugal
flower alternatives to keep costs down at your wedding.
One small vase of a few blooms on each table – for an earthy, classic kind
of elegance.
Instead of centerpieces on every table - how about just one for the head table, or the sweetheart table if that's what you're planning to have?
A mason jar centerpiece with just a couple of in-season flowers (very
vintage!)
Flowers in tin cans – homespun wedding cuteness
Instead of huge, elaborate centerpieces – how about a floral spray? (still
too much, in my estimation – but that's me, you might think otherwise. Also,
wth is a "spray?" I'm so NOT fancy. But anywho...)
A bowl of water with a few flower blossoms floating in it, as a centerpiece.
