Wedding Ceremony Decorations
|
|
|
When choosing flowers for your ceremony, you must decide on
whether you want to keep it simple or more elaborate. Flowers
can be expensive, so remember to keep within your budget! Before
you select any floral arrangements, you must consider the size
of the ceremony site and the formality of the wedding. You may
decide on all white with greens or colors that will complement
the bridal party's attire.

pews to cut down on cost).

An archway for the bridal party to walk through.

Ways to save
on Flowers
|
| |
-
Split the cost of the flowers used at the ceremony site
with another couple that is getting married there that same
day.
-
Make sure your wedding is not near a major flower-giving
holiday.
-
Such as Mother's Day or Valentine's Day.
-
If you are married in a church near Easter or Christmas,
chances are that the church will be fully decorated for
that holiday.
-
Get married in a garden setting - that will surely save
you money on flowers!
-
Choose flowers that can also be used at the reception.
-
Use tulle bows instead of flowers for pew decorations.

What to do with
flowers after the wedding

Have them delivered to a nursing home or hospital for someone
else to enjoy.

not attend your wedding.

If there is a service the next day, they may be left behind.
