While we love a lush floral arrangement as much as the next bride-to-be, sometimes the costs can be astronomical! We love these alternative ideas to keep your wedding day just as beautiful as you imagined while keeping floral costs down!
1Think outside the [floral] box
“Instead of flowers, use thoughtfully placed greenery throughout your wedding venue! Here at the Barn of Chapel Hill at Wild Flora Farm, our in-house floral design team absolutely loves using greenery to create stunning elevated centerpieces, lush ceremony backdrops, and garden-inspired installations on tables, chandeliers, beams, and walls.” - Kara Brewer, Owner, The Barn of Chapel Hill at Wild Flora Farm
2Go for more minimal designs
“An alternative to expensive florals is going more minimal with your florals like simple bud vases or loose greenery. You can even go with potted plants or flowers that guests can take home and keep for a long time. Don't forget you can also scale back onflorals and add in additional decor like fruit or candles to fill in the table.” - Kari Dirksen, CEO + Lead Planner, Feathered Arrow Events
3Pair the neutrals with the greens
“We love the look of a classic neutral color palette and the best part is that it can be over the top with only utilizing greenery, no flowers needed! This lush greenery table runner is a show stopper from every angle and takes the traditional garland design to a whole new level!” - Level Events
4Who says you need florals to create a wow factor?!
“Greenery can go a long way in both aesthetics and budget. Rather than spending money on small blossoms that won't pack punch, those funds could go towards a variety of greenery in different tones and textures to create an elevated look that your guests won't soon forget.” -Nora Sheils, Founder Bridal Bliss and Co-Founder Rock Paper Coin
