- Seasonal Flowers are the Key. And if the bridal party is small, that helps as well.

- Opt for a hand-tied bouquet rather than a trialing, wire or shower style. Hand-tied posies require less work and more competitively priced as a result.
- Think seasonal, think green. It may mean changing your designs ideas, but locally-grown, seasonal flowers will stretch your budget further than choosing especially flown-in exotic blooms. plus, they’ll be far more eco-friendly.

- Make the most of your church blooms by transporting them to your reception venue. Pedestals and trees look fabulous as entrance displays, while pew ends can be used as chair backs.
