Fresh vs faux
Are Fresh Flowers a Waste of my Budget? No, they are not, however if you are a bride that needs to spend money more wisely than others... fresh flowers aren’t your only option. Faux flowers, especially “look & feel real versions” can give you the same appearance you’re looking for. And... your budget will love you! 💜 There’s a wide variety to select from: silks, foam, cloth, and many more. The key is to find an artist who works with faux flowers. Send them pictures of what you’re going for and ask for pictures of their work to compare.
TIP: Etsy & Amazon have some amazing pre-made bouquets and boutonnières
BONUS TIP: I will also add, some faux florals can get costly, so do some shopping around for off season deals and use coupons for extra percentages off. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What should I do with my fresh flowers after my wedding? There’s a few options: Give them to guests, donate them to a local hospital, or ask the venue if they have another event soon. Most guests are excited to take home a piece of your wedding day with them. The small token continues to add personable touches to your day. What type of flowers are going with?
SAVER’S TIP: Only purchase fresh flowers for yourself, the groom and the wedding party. Double your bridesmaids’ bouquets as decor for the head table.
