What to consider when budgeting for Your Wedding Flowers:
- Set a Realistic Budget: Determine a realistic floral budget early in the planning process. This will guide you where to allocate your money so you don't 'dilute' the impact of the flowers or your florists design style.
- Prioritise: Decide which floral elements are most important to you. (e.g., a stunning bridal bouquet, an impressive ceremony arch.)
- Embrace the Season: Choose flowers that are in season for the best value and availability.
- Incorporate Greenery: Greenery adds significant visual impact and can help create larger arrangements.
- Consider DIY: DIY elements like simple vase decorations or incorporating personal touches can reduce costs. This only reduces the cost if someone will do it 'free' for you, or you Do It Yourself.
- Seek Professional Advice: Consult with experienced wedding florist like Flowers for Jane in Langwarrin for personalised guidance on where to spend your flower budget and suggestions on styles.
