Suggestions on reducing your floral expenses...
- Cut down on the number of bridesmaids (or simplify the size and style of their bouquets)
- Seat 10 to a table to reduce the number of centerpieces
- Opt for different mix and match centerpieces (offset the large scale centerpieces with smaller ones)
- Be flexible on flower choices (save the special flowers for your statement pieces)
- Use lots of greenery
