How to Save Money on a Bouquet

Video Transcript

"Hi I'm Becky Sosa with Stress Free Events and I'd like to talk to you about how to save money on your bouquet. There is a couple of different things you can do. One of the options is to use artificial flowers. These flowers often go on sale at the different craft stores throughout the year and you can buy the flowers when they are on sale and spend a lot less money. You can take the time and either arrange them yourself, ask a friend or a florist to arrange them for you. A lot of florists will do this but there is an additional fee. Another way that you can save money on your bridal bouquet is just to do it yourself. Order the flowers from your local grocer or floral market. Once you order the flowers and have them in take the time, look through the books, decide what you are looking for and go ahead and arrange the flowers yourself. If you are crafty this really is a very good option and a very good way to save money. Don't do something though that is going to cause more stress for you. Remember when you are dealing with fresh flowers you only have a day or two to put these together so you'd be putting your bridal bouquet together at the very last minute when everything else is stressful. Another way to save money is use flowers that are in season. Stick to one or two simple blooms and stick to one or two simple colors. These are other ways that you can save money on your bridal bouquet."
