Keeping in Budget

by Cindy on January 4, 2010

One crucial piece advice I give to couples as they plan their wedding flowers is spend your money wisely. At your consolation we will look at all of the flower arrangements you think you need to suit your style of wedding and appropriate to your venue. This gives you a chance to put everything on your wish list.

Don’t Compromise on Quality

quality wedding flowers that are in keeping with your budgetHowever if by having everything your heart desires blows your budget don’t compromise where it matters, just have less. Have  stunning flowers in the really key places such as the bridal bouquets, buttonholes, table arrangements and pedestals. These are the items that are the most important in almost every wedding.

Then if you have the budget and desire you can have the rest, what we often refer to as the extras. These include flower trees to mark an entrance to a church or reception room. Flower arches inside and outside of a church, pew ends, and window sill arrangements etc.

My advice is to go for quality rather than quantity. The quality of your flowers the professional manner that they are delivered and the reliability of your supplier is just as important.

The Extra’s

wedding flowers that are the extras to your budgetWe have been fortunate to supply many wedding flowers for lots of brides at Walton Hall, Wellesbourne, Stratford Upon Avon. Many couples at some point during their wedding day use the Courtyard suite either for a wedding ceremony, wedding breakfast or evening reception.
One popular question at this venue is should we decorate the pillars? This is because the room features four ceiling to floor pillars in the centre of the room. My answer is simple yes they look beautiful when decorated well but if your budget doesn’t stretch that far then don’t worry leave them bare (lets face it they are not ugly pillars and really not that noticeable to many people). These pillars look amazing when decorated but they need to be done well to look truly effective and that has to be budgeted for.

My Advice

So as you plan your wedding flowers look at everything, many of you will find that you can achieve everything your looking for within your budget. However if your budget is stretched, remember don’t compromise on the quality think carefully about whether you need the extra items.
