Flower POWER!!!

Flowers create a visual emotional impact at your wedding celebration. There are several ways to stretch your floral budget while creating a uniquely striking look.

•  Stay with seasonal and local flowers. These blooms are readily available, come in many colors, and will be less expensive for each bloom.
• Use fewer flowers by taking advantage of the fullness of greenery and fluffy blooms.
• Avoid marrying during Holidays such as valentines day or mothers day when flowers are in demand and the cost will be at its highest.
• Cluster masses of the same color blooms to convey impact without a high price tag.
• Take advantage of the natural beauty of a garden for a beautifully free display of flowers. 
•  Think simplicity and elegance. A single bloom for the bride and attendants can be stunning while stretching your budget.
• YES...it is perfectly fine to use SILK flora's...however...make sure they are the BEST your money can buy!! and that your designer know what they are doing!!  Need some help??? Contact me, I work with some AWESOME designers!!!

 Flowers will make a statement about your style as a couple~use these suggestions to get the impact while making the best use of your budget. ~Monique~
