Looking for Cheap Flowers for Wedding Arrangements

I am in charge of doing the flower arrangements for the wedding of a friend of mine. The couple decided that they would prefer a really nice honeymoon over a really expensive wedding which seems like a great idea to me. At any rate, I am looking for some frugal ideas to get some flowers and supplies to do the centerpieces. I can put together the arrangements myself. Thanks, Angie

How about asking all your friends and neighbors for potted plants to borrow buy the pretty wrap or make it for the pots and then do artificial if you don't have enough. I have done 3 weedings with other peoples ferns and really pretty flowers and it was a smash hit with everyone. I used to grow 20 large ferns and borrowed tables placed white sheets silk on them and beautiful. Hope this helps but really buying puts you in the hole with your money.

Talk to local funeral homes. People will willingly give their day old funeral flowers away and can be rearranged into a cheery wedding decor. Try not to focus on the dreery and remember that every ending has a new begining right behind it.

Michaels usually has a 50% off sale,
Fabric stores and dollar stores have cheap flowers as well

If you have time to wait till Sept/Oct, We used this idea for a friends wedding - we asked everyone we knew to cut their hydranga flowers & give to us - when dried, they were sprayed colors to match the decor, cheap vases were all sprayed ivory - we had enough for large vases for 8 windows in the church & had extra left over for baskets - very inexpensive & impressive - still have mine 4 years later!
