Ceremony flowers

If you are getting married in church, you will need to invest a little more money in flowers or not depending on the church. Most florists will charge you extra and give you a hard time if you want to take your floral from the church to the reception site. If you are planning to reuse the same flowers, opt for something easy to transport and make sure you give enough time to the florists to transport it. Do not try to transport it yourself because a) you might ruin them or b) you might bruise them if they're delicate flowers. I have collected a few ideas on how to save money or how to have something easy to transport.


From top to bottom:
  1. In the first row, all the flower ball decorations are made with fake flowers and you can get them from some online sites for just $6-8 a piece. Best of all, your flower girl(s) or bridesmaids could keep some after the ceremony. The second row can be achieved by getting a plant from Ikea or Home depot and buying a pot cover-up that is both decorative and goes with your theme. The last arrangement on the right is made with a flower that is both inexpensive but that holds well for a good week; you can just get some decorative perl pins to finish off the look.
  2. This picture shows the look that can be achieved with the ideas from the first picture.
  3. Baby's breath just look amazing in a ceremony, whether you go for a big arrangement or a small one. The fake or real orchids look the same once submerged. If you're like me and you don't want to spend too much money on the ceremony arrangements, then this look is perfect because they are very easy to transport. The last look uses a simple rose. It's cute and simple and notice that the person who put it together skips a row for the sake of simplicity.
I'll have more posts for the bouquets but I think I might tackle the location first, right?
