Bridal Bouquet Ideas

Here are more gorgeous bridal bouquet flowers for you to look at and ideas for you to show your florist that will fill your day with the special touches to help create amazing memories of your prefect day.

Before you meet with your florist, think about the look that you want and set a realistic budget and stick to it.  

Here are some wedding flower budget ideas for the bouquets and corsages that may help keep your wedding flower budget down

• Select simple or smaller bridal bouquet flowers that need less work.

• The less structured and formal the bouquet, the less expensive it is. So consider a hand tied bouquet this requires less work for the florist and is a simple way to keep the wedding flower budget down.

• Make your own hand tied bouquet (or the bridesmaids bouquets)and simple corsages, find instructions on our wedding crafts page.

• Instead of making a statement with large bouquets, wow your guests with smaller bouquets that are vibrant in color.

• Avoid exotic flowers - they are expensive. If you really must have some exotic flowers use only a few in the bridal bouquet and mix with flowers that are in season.

• Consider using a single long stemmed flower (or a group of three) instead of a bouquet for your bridesmaids. This will considerably cut down on expenses and can look very elegant.

• The size of your wedding party will greatly determine how much you spend on the flowers. You may want to limit the size of your wedding party because the more wedding flower arrangements you have the greater the cost.

• Your bridesmaids don't really need to carry flowers. Be a little different have them carry a pretty parasol or paper fans.

• For the mothers of the bride and groom instead of the traditional corsage have them carry a single flower like a rose.

• Use silk flowers instead of real ones for your bridal bouquet flowers. You can select these yourself and you don't have to worry about them looking fresh, plus you get to keep them forever.

• Use a mix of silk and fresh flowers in the bouquet no one will really be able to tell the difference.

• Organize the flower petals for the flower girls yourself from your own garden. You can use them fresh on the day or dry them long before your wedding. Also contact any supermarkets and stores that sell fresh roses and see if they will let you take the old flowers that are past their time and will be thrown away. If you are lucky you may get these for next to nothing or free, then dry the petals for your flower girl to use.

• Organize someone that you trust to collect the flowers to avoid delivery charges.

Tips

1. If it is a hot day and you are worried that your bouquet will wilt, think about having a bucket of water nearby to place them in.

2. Re-use your flowers from the ceremony site at the reception, if your florist can't bring them to the reception ask a member of your wedding party to do it.

3. Select flowers that are in season - they are less expensive and are of a better quality. You will also find that you are not limited to flower types as there are huge flower varieties and colors for every season.

4. Choose your florist according to your budget.
