What a Wonderfull Wedding Day

Wedding flower arrangements vary in price and when you are on a budget, it is important to think about what types of flowers to use for your wedding as well as the quantity of flowers in each flower arrangement.

When thinking about what type of wedding flower centerpieces you would like to have at your wedding, try and coordinate the colors of your wedding with your wedding flower arrangements. One simple inexpensive flower arrangement using pink wedding flowers is a table centerpiece using a pink cymbidium orchid and submerging it in water with votive candles and pink rose petals surrounding it.

It is an inexpensive way to create an elegant look on your table and you can make these type of wedding flower centerpieces on your own. Plus you can reuse the vase, rocks and votive candle holders again for other events you may throw after your wedding.

Using all pink wedding flowers as your centerpieces gives you the options to use pink hydrangeas or pink roses. It is less expensive to use all pink hydrangeas for flower arrangements because they are larger and use more room in the vase as oppose to pink roses. An added bonus using hydrangeas for your wedding flower arrangement is that the flower itself dries so beautifully and you can make pretty wreaths with the dried flowers as another reminder of your special day.

Add some color to your pink flowers by wrapping the inside of the glass container with a tea leaf or other such greenery. Another idea for your wedding flowers is to place some contrasting colored rose petals around the vase. If you are considering an evening wedding, add votive candles to create a romantic soft look to your wedding decor.

Another idea for your wedding flower arrangements is to use succulent flowers and intersperse them with pink flowers such as cymbidium orchids or roses. What is great about using succulents is that you can then keep the plant after the wedding and have a living reminder of your special day. Either replant the succulents in bigger pots or your backyard if you have one and watch your wedding reminder continue to flourish and grow as your marriage does!

I hope you picked up some ideas for wedding flower centerpieces using pink wedding flowers. You can keep your costs down with your wedding flower arrangements by using simple floral decor such as all hydrangeas or submerge cymbidium orchids and surround the wedding flower arrangement with rose petals and votive candles. In addition to weddings, these type of simple inexpensive arrangements can be used for weddings or social events.

Until next time, remember make it simple, delicious, stylish, fun and economical for all!

As spring approaches, the wedding season and all the hoopla surrounding it begins. With the receptions, ceremonies, wedding and bridesmaid dresses to name a few, not to mention the flowers the costs all add up rather quickly. Thus, what I thought I would do is help brides on a budget by showing how to make inexpensive yet elegant wedding flower centerpieces using white wedding flowers. Then you can always add some color to the table along with these flower arrangements by accenting your tables with colored votive candles, rose petals or colored napkins.

Wedding flower centerpieces can start anywhere from a simple bowl of fresh flowers to an elaborate silver centerpiece with candles and small satellite flower arrangements surrounding it. Table centerpieces can cost anywhere beginning at and grow to hundreds of dollars. But how about the bride who is on a budget and wants pretty white wedding flowers? Here are the simple steps to take to create DIY wedding flowers.

To make your wedding flower centerpieces, first start with a small glass container, square or round, one tea leaf and one to two dozen flowers such as roses. It is probably best to use a glass container that has a five to six inch opening.

The next step is to cut the stems of the flowers so that they fit the container you selected for your flower arrangements. Most professional florists use a sharp knife to cut the stems at an angle. What can I say, I am not a professional florist and I used a pair of sharp scissors to cut the stems. Measure the flowers in the jar to see if you shortened them to the desired length. Then, to hide the stems in the glass container, take your tea leaf and wrap it on the inside of the glass container.

Once you have the desired length of the flower stem, tie the stems together. Either string, a rubber band or wire twister will work just fine. If you want to accent the white wedding flowers on the side of the vase, add some ribbon or greenery as seen in the picture above. Fill the vase up with water, add a packet of chrysal to keep the flowers fresh and place the bouquet in the water. To finish off your DIY wedding flowers, you may need to work with the bouquet a little to ensure there are no holes or empty spaces in the arrangement.

If your wedding is at night, accent your wedding flower centerpieces with votive candles or throw a contrasting color of rose petals around the flower arrangements or both! DIY wedding flowers can be just as elegant as a professional’s but you don’t need to tell anyone! I hope you have fun creating white wedding flowers for your wedding or a dinner party. Until next time, remember the budget bash mantra: make it simple, stylish, fun and economical to all!

Wedding day decorations are the most crucial because the wedding decorations set the mood and style for the evening. Wilting flower arrangements and colors that do not match can spoil the evening.

Fresh flowers can make all the difference. The importance and significance of flowers in an Indian wedding is high and you can see how they are used everywhere –the mandap, the stage, the entrance and archway, the bidai vehicle, on the mare, the blessings, the varmala and the wedding day bed for the bride and the bridegroom. Choosing the flowers well and ensuring that they look good at all times is extremely important.

1.Choose a florist that has a reputation for being a good flower supplier for weddings. Wedding florists and decorators are different from the ones that make bouquets for birthdays and anniversaries. To find good wedding florists, ask your friends for references. You can also check up the Internet for some good wedding florists in your area.

2.A good florist should be able to give you ideas about the specific flowers that you should pick for the wedding day. Seasonal flowers cost lesser and should be chosen if you are on a tight wedding budget.

3.Select a wedding florist who stores his flowers close to the wedding venue. This will ensure that the flowers are fresh when they reach the wedding hall or venue.

4.Decide on the type of flower and the quantity based on your wedding budget. Exquisite flowers like carnations and gladioli cost much more than the traditional Indian rose or the oft used marigold.

5.Discuss the specific floral decorations that you will need for the wedding venue with the florist. The amount of flowers that you will need should be based on how large the venue is and the areas that you want covered. By the end of your discussions with the florist, you should have a list of all the areas that you want decorated like the stage backdrop, the mandap, the entrance and the tables and an estimate of the amount of flowers that you will need for each of these decorations. The details should also be broken up by cut flowers, flowers and petals since the requirement for different kinds of decorations may vary.

6.Also talk about the number and type of garlands that you will need with the wedding florist. The wedding varmala should be ordered separately, making sure that the specific flowers that you want included are specified. In addition to this, you will also need garlands for the milni and aashirwaad. These can be ordered once you have made a list of the milnis that you are planning and the number of people who are likely to give the aashirwaad.

7.Consider the kind of wedding décor that you have chosen for the specific function. Traditional flowers are better for religious functions like the wedding day or the mehendi. You can leave the modern looking or western flowers and get creative with them on the sangeet and the wedding reception.

8.Keeping flowers fresh is a challenge, especially for weddings that take place in the Indian summer heat. Sprinkling them with water can help keep the petals looking and smelling fresh. You can also cover them with a wet cloth till they are ready to be used.

9.Cut flowers with a stem that are used on tables or bouquets can be put in water that contains a copper penny or piece and aspirin. Lemon juice, sugar and bleach can also work wonders to keep flowers fresh. It might also be a good idea to avoid flowers that have a long stem since these can block the view of people sitting across the table.

10.Wedding flowers should always be chosen based on the overall décor that you have selected for your wedding day. Lavender or blue flowers may look out of place on the wedding day when all the other decorations have traditional gold, red and green colors.

In selecting flowers, it is a good idea to also get the opinions of your friends and relatives, especially  of your mother and father. It makes parents feel important and you may gain valuable information. With the right kind of wedding flowers that are colorful vibrant and fresh and sweet smelling, your wedding day is also likely to be exactly the same.
