Set priorities. Wedding flowers can be inexpensive, or one of the most expensive parts of any wedding celebration. Don't mortgage your future in your quest for perfection.

Look for volunteers. You don't have to be a professional florist to create wedding flower bouquets and decorations that enchant the wedding party. You just need someone with an artistic side and a desire to help you. If you can limit the cost of wedding flowers to the flowers themselves, you'll save a bundle.

Buy wholesale. No matter where you live, there is likely a wholesale flower distributor nearby. Wholesalers are a great way to save money on wedding flowers, which is why florists buy directly from them. You'll be amazed at the variety and the prices.

Think outside the box. Roses are nice, but you won't save money if you're not flexible about the flowers you choose. Tulips, daisies, carnations, and many exotic flowers are less than half the price of roses, and add texture and color to traditional wedding flower arrangements. If you want roses, limit the number and add less expensive flowers as filler.

Consider skipping the bouquet toss. Yes, it's a tradition, but it can cost hundreds of dollars. Most brides want to keep their own bouquets, so they pay to have a bouquet arranged for the purpose of throwing it.

Thin the wedding party. Every member of your wedding party requires a small arrangement and adds to the cost of your wedding. Cut back on the number of attendants and save money on wedding flowers -- and everything else, for that matter.
