Cheap Flowers?
You can do them yourself for not a lot of money if you buy them in bulk online. Try www.sommerflowers.com or www.fiftyflowers.com or flowerbud.com





Just search for bulk flowers.
Reply:You could make the flowers yourself, Its really not all that hard to do. order a bunfh of daisys to be delivered to the shop the day before, Take some ribbon and tie bows around the stems. Its simple, and cheap, and EASY. I just made all my flowers yesterday...... lol It cost me $40, and thats to do 3 bouquets, mine, 2 bridesmaids, 19 boutineers (Yes we have a very very large extended family with all our grandparents)


Think about different ways you can do it cheaper. You can buy fake flowers that look real and do it yourself. Have your bridesmaids help too. Make it a fun day.

Reply:Hi,





I had the same prob for my wedding I was on a budget. So I went to look for a cheap florist....two days before the wedding he let me down. I ended up buying white and blue ballons, ribbon and wire. Tables alredy had white and blue (baby blue) as that was the theme for my wedding. A large heart shaped wire arch was made covered in ballons (4 blue, 4 white, 4 blue etc...) then ballons around the hall with ribbons. At first I thought it would look tacky but if its done right it can look beautiful and the best part it didnt cost much :) I did have centerpieces and these were blue floating candles (lit) in a shallow bowl and white candles (with the water dyed blue) I hope this helps or gives you an idea :)
Reply:Have you ever considered doing them yourself? It is really easy to do and since you say you are doing simple arrangements and not having a lot of flowers this would be inexpensive and things would be done the way you really want them! It's not hard to do, the only thing is time. You didn't say when your wedding was so that would be a factor so that you do not over stress yourself! Been there done that one! If you have time though this might be something you would want to consider.


Congratulations on your upcoming marriage! God Bless!
Reply:If you don't mind doing it your self (And it's not that difficult unless you have a very complicated design in mind) you can save bundles on doing it your self.





Also if you go for silk flowers it will most likely save you even more if you get them in the right place.


I bought all the flowers for our wedding (Silk flowers) on eBay, it saved us TONS of money!
Reply:have you checked out www.atlantabridal.com or www.theknot.com they have listings for metro atlanta area.
Reply:do you, or anyone in your family have a membership to costco or sam's club? you can buy flowers in bulk for a really good price that way... you might be able to pay a florist to arrange them for you, saving money on the cost of the flowers themselves.





also, do a little research to see if there are any florist warehouses in your area... there's one near me in michigan, and they offer classes on how to arrange flowers and even make your own bouquets for weddings! besides that, it's much cheaper to buy from a place like that where the florists themselves go to buy their supplies.





good luck!! :)
Reply:Go with silk flowers. Most look just as nice, you can keep them, they are very practical on price, and you can get more for less.
Reply:Gerber daisy are not always the cheapest flowers. They can be as expensive as roses depending on the time of year needed. Go into a florist, tell them your bugget. They should be able to help you out. If you want to do them yourself, see your local grocery store. They get bunches of flowers in you can make beautiful bouquets. Do not go with silk, they may last forever but silks can cost way more than fresh flowers. Just remember, you also have to pay for the labor of putting it together.

Reply:Do you have a Sam's Wholesale in your area? They have great flowers/great prices. Get some of your friends together to tie ribbons on them.
Reply:I only spent about $100 for my bouquet, 4 bridesmaids bouquet, 4 groomsmen, 2 for the moms and dads (single flowers) and there were oriental lillies.





I went to my local florist shop @ the grocery store.
Reply:i would suggest buying fake flowers


we did that for my dads wedding they are cheaper


(go to a craft store) and last longer, thats something you can keep forever and yes you can keep real ones but you either have to freeze them or let them dry out


fake ones always stay pretty and you can put them almost anywhere as a decoration
Reply:I KNOW Iam going to catch heck for this answer, but here goes.


Check out your local cemetery. Yes, that is what I said. Many of the have a no flowers policy and remove all of the flowers weekly. I was looking for flowers for a Bible School project and someone told to try there. I ended up with thirty gardenias that looked brand new and reall as anything. I used them to do a wedding for a friend and it came out amazing. Maybe you can get most of your filler flowers through a cemetery and only have to buy a few to make your bouquets.


Just a thought.
