Non-Floral Decorations

Wedding decorations can be flowerless. There are many options to decorate the marriage venue. Flowers can be replaced by other items, so you can cut down on the quantity of flowers you need to buy. Non-floral table centerpieces can be used to decorate the centre of the table. For example, there can be candles or lanterns or any other such item rather than flowers. If the flowers are necessary, then these candles and lanterns can be used with wild flowers to make the expense less. In such decorations, no one will notice the lack of flowers on the table.

Use your imagination here: flowers are not the only option. Folded paper decorations can be a reasonably priced alternative. Consider scattering this with a few flowers. Large blooms work best, but a handful of wild flowers can go a long way. There are plenty of other alternatives, but flowers are traditionally used at this king of ceremony.

Select Bloomed Flowers

Sometimes flowers are needed and these cannot be replaced by anything. In such cases, use flowers which have larger blooms. In this way, less number of flowers will be used to make bouquets or other such items. Large blooms always make a big impact.

Artificial Flowers

Handmade flowers can be another good option to decorate or make a bouquet with. These are always less expensive and give a traditional impact. There is also a major benefit of these flowers in that they can be used after the wedding occasion to decorate the house. These are long lasting. It means the money you spend is not wasted, but rather it gives an attractive and refreshingly new decoration to your house.

Get Free Flowers

One can also try to get the flowers for free or at sale price from somewhere. Some companies and shops also provide beautiful handmade bouquets, corsages and boutonnieres which are exceptionally beautiful. Try bargaining for a package price for your wedding flowers over buying each individual stem at a separate price.
