b) After the ceremony, arrange to have the flowers taken to the reception location.
c) Instead of a full bouquet of flowers for you and your bridesmaids, carry one or two dramatic flowers instead. They look just as elegant and the cost will be significantly less than full bouquets.
d) Try to use flowers that are in season.
e) Use garlands of ivy or evergreens for decorating, instead of flowers - it's less expensive and can be used to decorate doorways and the front of tables.
f) Use potted plants instead of cut flowers. In fact, if you start early enough, you can grow your own flowering potted plants.

Use bows on pews that you make yourself, instead of flowers. Perhaps carry a treasured Bible instead of a bouquet. Buy bulk "growers bunches" of all 1 kind of flower from Costco or other warehosue and put inexpensive "ivy bowls" ($1 each at Michael's )" with water and greenery on tables, perhaps on a mirror tile bought at Home Depot to double the effect. Plants on tables are great, and can be dressed up with water picks with a few sprigs or buds of flowers stuck into them (mini-carns , baby's breath, waxflowerr, alstromeria woiuld be great).
