My parents set a fairly tight budget for the wedding, and one of the things I would like to skimp on is flowers. I've never really been crazy about buying flowers, and I'd much rather put some of the flower budget towards the food, or lighting, or getting a good photographer, etc. I'm doing the floral bouquets/boutonnieres for the bridal party, but I'd really like to find an alternative to flowers for my decorations, and especially for my centerpieces at the reception. The wedding is going to be later in the afternoon, and the reception in the evening, and both will be held at the same place.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
