Budget-Friendly Flowers

The amount that brides spend on their florals seems to vary. Some brides spend much of their budget on elaborate centerpieces while others forgo the flowers entirely and opt for something more economical such as candles.
If you are one of those brides in the middle, you are looking for beautiful flowers that will not bust your budget. There are some flowers that are always on the less expensive side, like the carnation or the rose. You can also make a floral arrangement look fuller by adding interesting greenery. Another way to achieve this is by using flowers that are in season at the time of your wedding. One type of flower does not always cost the same amount - its price depends on whether or not it is easy to attain at that time. Elegala.com has published a list of flowers by season which can be very helpful when you are deciding on what flowers to include in your wedding.

Making a bouquet larger with the use of greenery will make it look gorgeous but will keep it affordable.

Calla lilies are a favorite among some brides, however they are a more expensive flower. If you love them, try putting a few mixed in with other flowers instead of a full calla lily bouquet like this one.

Brides still love the class rose bouquet.. and because of their abundance, roses are always an affordable option.
