- Use non-floral alternatives such as ribbon and candles to accent your flowers and create impact without having to spend more on flowers
- Toss the real bridal bouquet or a bridesmaids’ bouquet instead of paying for a separate toss bouquet
- Reuse flowers whenever possible. Church altar flowers may be relocated to the reception or the florist can design reception arrangements that reuse the bridesmaids’ bouquets
- Consider the season when choosing your wedding flowers to reduce the cost of importing flowers long distances for your wedding
