Many local grocery stores have a separate department for flowers so you can try to contact these stores in your area to get hold of the fresh flowers the moment it is delivered to them. You may get it at a much lower price as compared to professional florists. These stores also offer affordable floral packages that include corsages, bouquets, boutonnieres and ceremony flowers.

Though you have to remember, it is essential that you understand all the flower arrangement process thoroughly if you want to plan everything on your own while making sure it fits your budget.

Arranging flowers for your wedding on your own will create a hectic schedule for you. As an alternative choice, go online; browse some best flowers delivery websites to ease your workload. They will provide fresh flowers delivery on-time. However, this can cost more than buying flowers from wholesalers, but it can save you a lot of time with an assurance that you will get the best flowers for your special day décor.

Wedding flowers come at expensive costs, so it becomes quite stressful to manage such things on your own. To avoid the pressure of arranging wedding flowers at low prices, go for potted plants, herbs or flowers rather than a cut flower arrangement. You will still get the fresh aroma, colours, and textures of cut flowers with a fraction of the total flower’s price.

5. Silk flower is also a great option

Artificial silk flowers can also create a classic look to your wedding décor just like real fresh flowers. They won’t wilt or fall apart, and also you don’t need to be kept moist or cool until your event, so you purchase them anytime before your wedding. However, silk flowers can be expensive but can sell them later at best which will help you defray the wedding arrangement cost. There are some florists available who give silk flowers on rent, and you can return them after your special event.

6. Say “I Do” in the presence of nature

Even the most lavish wedding décor can pale as compared to the natural outdoors beauty. Choose a spot for your big day where you can advantage from natural colours and textures offered by the vines, shrubs, trees, wildflowers and bushes. For example, you can go to your local botanical garden without spending much. Say “I do” to your soul mate under a big willow tree in the presence of nature and cut down your wedding décor cost at a great extent – it doesn’t make the special occasion less special.

7. Use creative centerpieces
