Wedding Center Piece Guide from Simple to Sophisticated | Ranch Wedding Venue
Centerpieces are an important part of any wedding, but they can also be one of the most expensive. If you're on a budget, there are still plenty of ways to create beautiful and elegant centerpieces without breaking the bank.
MOST IMPORTANT FLORAL BUDGETING TIPS
Flowers that are in season are typically less expensive than flowers that are out of season. Brides should consider the time of year they are getting married and understand the seasonality of specific flowers.
Be flexible with your design. If you are flexible with your design, you can save money on your wedding flowers. For example, you could use smaller flowers or fewer flowers per arrangement.
Your florist is the expert, be clear and detailed about your budget! They will help you to have the best they can deliver at the price point.
Choose a venue that is stunning all on its own. One of the best ways to save money on your wedding venue is to choose a location with natural beauty. We hear this about SCR all the time! It needs minimal decor!
