Weddings have the potential to yield bills well into the six-digit figures. Most couples who spend more than what is comfortable for their budget wind up regretting spending so much later on. The day will go by fast, but it is still important to make sure it is perfect. One of the best ways to save money on a wedding is by purchasing silk flowers instead of real ones. Fresh flowers are expensive, especially if non-traditional colors are desired. Blue, green and orange roses and tulips are becoming popular colors for wedding flowers, but creating them is very expensive. Most florists have to add in the cost of their time and effort, as well as the profit they need to stay in business.

Silk flowers are much easier to create. Since they are not alive, the process for coloring them is not as delicate as it is for fresh flowers. The ability to create several colors within one flower head is also possible. The best part about silk flowers is that they are usually at least half the price of fresh floral arrangements. They can be purchased online from wholesale companies for large weddings that require more than 50 arrangements. Silk flowers are also available from online discount stores. Extra touches can be added to them - such as glitter or clear drops that resemble water droplets. The look of silk flowers is so similar to fresh ones that most people are unable to tell the difference.

Buying silk flowers is a good investment not only to save money overall, but also because they won't die. Many couples purchase their fresh wedding flowers and have them delivered the night before. Some flowers, especially very delicate ones or specially-colored arrangements, tend to die quickly if conditions are not perfect. Humid or warm temperatures, not enough air or polluted air makes them die quickly. Most couples don't purchase insurance for their flowers and even if they did, it may not be possible to replace them before the wedding. Money is lost, whether they must buy flowers elsewhere or absorb the amount they invested. Fortunately this issue is nonexistent with silk flowers.

Where can I get centerpieces for a wedding and how much?

A good way to save money on wedding centerpieces is do them yourself or have a family member who is talented do them. There could be some flowers (even silk flowers as they look very real) with a couple of large candles in the center of the wedding table. On the guests tables perhaps a small fancy lantern with a candle burning; do simple arrangements for guests tables. Example: a nice flat colored or plain glass round dish about 4 x 4" and at one end have some nice stones and at the other end one medium candle with a small one; a few real or silk flowers around the candle. If you get a florist to do your wedding centerpieces suggest more for the head table and something simple, but pretty for the guests tables and it can range from $200 or up depending on what type of flowers you want (if some flowers are out of season.) You have to phone different florists with a plan of what you want.
