When choosing flowers for your
wedding 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.

-
A floral arrangement for the center of the altar.
-
Flowers at the end of the pews (choose every two or three
pews to cut down on cost).
-
An arrangement for the entrance door.
-
Vase on either side of the bride and groom.
-
An archway for the bridal party to walk through.

-
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.

-
Use candles to create a more romantic atmosphere.
-
If your minister or rabbi permits it, have each guest light
their own candle during the ceremony.
-
Use rose petals instead of an aisle runner.

-
Have them delivered to a nursing home or hospital for
someone else to enjoy.
-
Have them delivered to a sick friend or relative who could
not attend your wedding.
-
If there is a service the next day, they may be left behind.
