This way, there can be no misunderstandings and certainly no liberties taken! By keeping the budget up on the air, some florists would take the opportunity to push more expensive blooms and arrangements,so it;s best to set firm boundaries right at the offing. I do suggest getting most of your flowers from yo0ur local farmer’s market, if you are in a super strict budget. At the end of the day, the bouquet is what really counts. So you can get that done by the pros, and everything else can be sourced elsewhere. They’re flowers, after all. They will always be beautiful.

When I got married, we did get bouquets for me and the girls and a couple big ones, but then did all the other decorations (pew ones, the ones in the reception area) ourselves. Ours was a rather large wedding as our church was bigger and I taught school, so it was not an easy task, but my mom’s friends came and spent a few days way in advance making everything. We had them hanging all over the garage, etc.

Kay, we will be using LED candles because my mom is on oxygen and can’t be around real candles.

To me a mason jar with a tapered candle just slightly shorter than the jar and bow tied just below the outter rim of the jar is breath taking. When our daughter married in the late 1990’s I was so blessed to be able to do the whole reception with flowers from our gardens. I’m not a fancy person at all…but ‘simple’ is beauty to me. I couldn’t decorate without mason jars and candles 🙂
