Manage Your Wedding Flower Budget
Choose Your Style
Do you picture simply natural or elaborate flowers? Subtle or striking? Minimalist? Tightly arranged? Are you thinking monochromatic, traditional, multicolored, or modern? Do you dream of old school roses and lilies or new school berries, grasses, greens, and herbs?
All these questions will play a direct role on how much you will need to budget for your flowers.
What's Your Season
Love the idea of imported orchids or dreamy white peonies in the middle of February?
Your florist may be able to find the flowers but be prepared to pay at least 25% more. Choose flowers which are in season, and you will save money, so speak to your florist and see what they suggest.

This is one area where we have to admit that size does matter. The simple fact is that the bigger your flower arrangement, the bigger the cost.
Location
If your wedding is in a naturally flowering park or garden, then you may not have to bring in many flowers or plants at all. You may also need to remember that if you live in a big city that your flowers are going to be more expensive.
