Cheap wedding flowers?

We'd like to keep things as affordable as possible as far as flowers go. We're having an outdoor wedding and reception, so we were thinking of even just going with some wild flowers. All this will take place in Nova Scotia.


With this info in mind, can you think of flowers that would be pretty affordable and accesable??





Thank so much!!

Cheap wedding flowers?
Gerbera daisies are very affordable and come in lots of different colors. They are also a fairly big flower, so it doesn't take many of them to make a bouquet, etc.


Here are a few pictures...I personally think they are a beautiful flower. Hope this helps. Good luck :)

Reply:Try looking up wholesale florist vendors. Also, ask the florist what flowers look good in arrangements that are cheaper. I am going through a wholesale florist and only paying 2500 for everything (which is a LOT, and beautiful!)

Reply:Go with flowers that are in season.
Reply:Pick flowers that are in season like another person already said. Also, don't go all one flower for everything. Haveing a bouquet and centerpieces that are just one flower can be very expensive since more will have to be used since there won't be any "filler flowers."





Think about loosely arranged bouquets and centerpieces. Anything that doesn't require a lot of work on a florists part is much cheaper. You can also DYI! The flower wholesaler route is a great way to go.





Even cheaper, forget about floral centerpieces! Try something else like fresh fruit, beta fish, feather centerpiece, candles, depending on what your theme is going to be there are so many options!

  1. Good luck. I had some trouble finding cheap flowers for my wedding but then I found a few stores on http://www.gatheringguide.com/ec/floral_design_florists.html that had good deals in person. I think you just have to try a lot of stores until you see someone offering what you want.
