Wedding Centerpiece

Today everyone is looking to save money where ever possible. Well, if you are getting married there are many ways to save a dollar here and there but butting out stuff from your big day is not always the answer. For example look at the centerpieces. Don’t leave them out of the budget completely, just dress up your tables for less. There are a few ways to save on centerpieces and still look great.
The first thing to do is rent. Renting silk arrangements is the most cost effective way to go. Yes, bouquets can be rented, container and all. It was very popular for a while to rent flowers for the entire wedding so just doing the centerpieces isn’t that strange. You can save a lot of money and not worry about the flowers dying before the reception. If you still want real flowers on the table you can rent the container. Instead of having 20 glass globe bowls after your wedding pay a discounted rate, let your guests take home the flowers and the florist take back the bowls. It does not matter if you rent the entire centerpiece or just the container it is quickest and easiest way to save money.
Another way to save on centerpieces is to go simple. Simple is very in-style today. A large vase with several of one type of flower in it is a common thing to see and it looks great. Use this to your advantage. Take a large vase on the head table with ten large sunflowers coming out of it and a simple yellow bow on it. Then at all the other tables have a small single bud vase. Put a single stem of yellow daisies, which will have two to four flowers on it in the vase. This will give you great color throughout the hall without spending too much. To save even more money rent the vases and buy the flowers loose. You might want the florist to arrange the big vase so that it shows well but the other flowers can be done on your own. Have someone involved in the wedding clip the stems and fill all the table vases for you. Just ask your local florist for a flower that will match your color scheme and any special instructions if you are going to do them yourself.

Getting Married?
What to look for in your Florist
One of the worst things you hear of when people talk about planning their wedding is that after all the planning and money spent, just before the “Big Day”, the flower shop they chose closed its doors. Just at the peak of all that stress and planning you have a bomb dropped on you. This is why the number one thing to look for in a florist for such an important day is dependability. Longevity for a florist tells you a couple of things.
One, you can count on the fact that they know what they’re doing. If they didn’t take care of their customers over the years they wouldn’t have survived in a very competitive field. There are new flower shops opening all the time, going to churches and businesses to under bid whoever has been providing their flower needs. So, if you are not taking care of your customers someone else definitely will. The longer a florist has been around the more you can be rest assured that they will be doing their best to make you happy.
Two, you know that they will be there for your “Big Day”. Staying power in a flower shop is like a security blanket for you. This is true for any vendor you look at when it comes to weddings. As you are planning your wedding you will hear many people say things like: “The bakery closed a week before…”, “We couldn’t find our Photographer after the wedding…”, “I could see my dress hanging in this abandoned store…”. So many people develop a fear of losing one of the key companies for their wedding. This is why the best way to narrow down the many vendors you look at while planning your wedding is longevity.
