The whole scene creates a loving, lasting impression on any wedding day. There's no need to buy the plants, though--instead, consider renting plants for your wedding.

Create a budget for your wedding to determine exactly how much you want and can spend on plants. The amount of money available in your budget will help you determine what plants to consider at the plant rental company. Most companies create rental packages for the budget conscious bride. Picking a rental package makes the budgeting and ordering system work much faster and more easily with no hidden costs or extra charges.

Make notes about the wedding day, number of guests, the location and time frame of the wedding before you call the plant rental company and reserve your plants. The company needs this information to reserve, deliver, set up and pick up your plant rental.

Visit the plant rental company some time before your wedding day to see the type of plants you want to rent. Make sure the plants look healthy and vibrant. Some rental plants become scarred from being overly used, being moved around from one client to another client, and simply from age.

Spend the extra money if you want a special package, which includes a consultant who works with you by the hour. A consultant creates a scheme and orders special plants that fit your wedding day theme and color scheme.

Tips & Warnings
Marble or deep dark ivy laced through a wedding archway with two ferns at each side on white pillars achieves a simple but popular wedding scene.
Kentia palms placed strategically at the circumference of the wedding hall adds a touch of eloquence without being obtrusive.
Purchasing living plant arrangements for each reception table raises the cost of the plant rental. Yet, plant arrangements make a wonderful gift for those who helped with the wedding preparation, such as cousins, aunts and family friends.
