Save the Dollars!

In case you didn't know, the dollar bill is on the endangered species list. With the recent economy floundering - people don't want to spend any money just in case. We know the feeling! So, that puts brides in a precarious situation because they want everything because it is sooooo cute, beautiful, perfect, {insert descriptive word here}. But, they run the calculator in their mind and put it back on the shelf. We understand what you are going through! But, did you know, that working with a planner will actually SAVE you money. Let's just choose one item out of your wedding details that everyone does for weddings - flowers. You want them, even if you are not into flowers. The groomsmen need bout's, maids need bouquets, Moms need corsages, etc. right? So, you have decided to not have flowers on the tables to save some cash. But what should we do there instead? Sure, you can put candles there but you will have to be sure you CAN use candles at the venue. You might need to put hurricanes over them to prevent a fire or get the LED tealights. So, good, that's done. But, what else is going with it - it looks too sparse. You could put some seashells around them or some silk blossoms or colored stones. Yes, that looks better. But, did you notice that you added the additional components to make it look complete? All that adds up per table. Trying to make your table look nice will still cost you money regardless of what smaller items you use. But, working with a planner, we have florists that will take what you do have to spend and use that creatively to make your table look fabulous for very little money. Our florists will use more textural items, inexpensive greens, blossoms, containers and sometimes items you wouldn't have even thought of. Our course, you don't need a planner to do that but our knowledgable florists know you need to get creative on your lowered budgets. They make your wedding special without it looking watered down. Walking into your local florist and telling them that you have a thousand to spend may make them flinch. Their package doesn't fit your budget perhaps. We tell our florists what you are working with and they make it happen. Even if you want exotic orchids! You don't need a bushel - but a few would be nice, right! There are ways, and we know them.
