    BIG SAVE! We're definitely looking into artificial flowers. I could care less if they're real or fake. As long as they look good and match our theme, I am A-Ok!

    Saved, both of our families have been hitting up garage sales and we are getting mostly fake flowers. Also a friend of my mom's is getting married the weekend before and she is using the same color and said we can have all of her wedding decorations if we want

    Splurge. We are having all our florals provided by a local florist. We did not go crazy with it though.

    Save for me. This wasn’t an area I cared much about and I repurposed my ceremony flowers to my reception.

    We're saving on real flowers by going through Kroger's floral department! Just couldn't bring myself to have artificial because I love fresh ones!

    Started moderate and then turned into a full on splurge. We added a lot of items late in planning and our revised quote was almost double. 😅

    Save. We love the look of flowers but couldn't get ourselves to spent that much, so we decided to go DIY and still have a lot of flowers!

    Save. There will be very few flowers and most of them are artificial.

    I am *trying* to save on flowers. I am not holding back on my bouquet, but I am definitely cutting back in other areas...saying yes to faux garland Smiley smile

    I have been searching for a florist that is economical and I think I have found one that will fit our budget.

    We are planning on using real flowers but hopefully staying under $2,000 and loading up on allergy medicine 😂

    SAVE!

    My father's allergic to most flowers, the view from our venue was *spectacular*, and all the florists in NYC were asking absurd prices.

    So, we went fake and paid less than $500 for everything. Looked great, can donate or reuse.

    Saved. Flowers are not really important to us. We only got 2 bouquets, 3 boutonnieres and 2 corsages

    Save. Our venue is beautiful enough so we aren’t doing many flowers at all.
