Mother of the Bride, are you interested in saving a little money on the floral expense for your daughter’s wedding?
Silly question, right? Every MOB is interested in saving money. I heard a great tip about wedding flowers recently while watching Wedding Wednesdays on Katie so I wanted to be sure to share it with you here.
See if your daughter would be willing to select flowers with large blooms for the bridesmaids bouquets and possibly even her own. Large blooms means less flowers needed overall for the bouquets. And less flowers needed means less expense. And of course, less expense means welcome relief for the parents of the bride!
I realize the bride-to-be may have her heart set on particular flowers already, but if not, suggesting those with large blooms is a terrific idea. Like the gerber daisies pictured above, large-bloomed flowers can make beautiful bouquets. Peonies, dahlias, hydrangeas, and sunflowers are also some other great options.
So go on, MOB, suggest away—and have fun saving a little money! :)
