How can I have the bouquet I want on a small budget?

Flowers for Weddings Compromise

If your heart is set on a huge cascade of orchids and gardenias, find other ways to cut the overall bill. There are cheap wedding flowers out there. Instead of full flower wreaths, have your flower girls or junior bridesmaids sport a delicate halo of Baby's Breath. This flower is so economical that just one stem (at less than a dollar) can be enough to dress two wreaths! A bouquet comprised of nothing but baby's breath and a few sprigs of purple statice is simple and looks wonderful. But heck, if you still must have the orchids, downscale the attendants' bouquets. It's YOUR day after all!
