A great way to make your a wedding look like a million dollars without spending that much (of course) is by sprucing up your tables, aisle pews and other areas with DIY flower arrangements. I used to work at a wedding event company and they would buy flowers from local wholesalers and flower farms, and make really extravagant looking arrangements. It was funny, though, because they used a couple of folks who really weren't florists but the arrangements were simply enough such that anyone could do them. It's amazing to see what roses, hydrangeas, and other flowers could be made to look like by only spending a few minutes trimming them and putting them together. I would highly recommend going out and buying a sample of flowers before your wedding, working them to see what you can do, and if you feel comfortable, buying them in bulk for your wedding. If you're not near a local wholesaler, you can always resort to an online wholesaler such as http://wholeblossoms.com. Good luck! ... View related article.
