@cu2005, Keep your flower decorations to a minimum - use a few dramatic flowers for impact instead of masses of blooms. Choose smaller bouquets

Warehouses and club stores can be a good idea, but don't forget to factor in your time and supplies for doing the arrangements yourself, as well as storage considerations. Also, you should do a test run with some flowers to get an idea of how far ahead of time you should order your flowers. Unless you're really crafty or really know what you're doing, you're better off getting premade arrangements from a club store if you can.

Stick to in season flowers and ones that are locally grown if you can. This website will list them for you: http://www.freshroses.com/sept.html and give you pictures of them as well.

Choose inexpensive flowers like carnations and mums and use those to provide the bulk of the flower arrangements, and make more expensive flowers the accents. Greenery and baby's breath are inexpensive and can fill in a lot of space

Make your arrangements do double duty for both ceremony and reception. If the florist doesn't transport from one site to another, ask a trusted friend to do this for you.

Most high schools and colleges have horticulture classes that specialize in caring for and arranging flowers and plants. For a small fee, you could hire these aspiring florists who would be thrilled to work on your arrangements. The teachers of such a course will act as your safety net and, as an added bonus to you, will have extensive experience and oversee your project.

Put your most expensive arrangements where you want to make the biggest impression or where they will be seen the most.

It is not necessary to adorn every table with a high-priced floral centerpiece. Candles are beautiful and provide an amazing ambience! Try submerging an orchid (or flower of choice) in a glass container filled with water and float a candle on top. Also attractive is placing river rocks at the bottom of a glass container, adding water and floating a flower on top. Try using orchids, roses, peonies, camellias or gerberas.

A dramatic and stunning effect can be created with an inexpensive, rectangular mirror (much like the ones designed to hang on a bedroom door). Place the mirror reflective-side-up and let it run the length of the table, placing tealight candles at even intervals down the center. Sprinkle colored glitter or flower petals across the surface. The result is not only attractive, but sets the tone for your reception.

My parents got married two days after Christmas - this saved them a bunch on flowers, as they didn't have to buy any - the church was fully decked out with poinsettias and greenery.

We got our flowers from my aunts garden, who was very willing to show them off. :o) If you have a gardener, you probably have flowers somewhere.

OR pick them, from a field the night before, just put them in vases, with water of course.
