Flower Power
Flowers by Bed of Roses
Flowers are a BIG part of any wedding ceremony and the cost is BIG too. If you have been watching Platinum Weddings (religiously) like I have, you know the budget for the flowers exceed the cost of your entire wedding, honeymoon and all. According to the Cost Of Wedding most couples spend a bit over $2000, this can vary depending on where you live.
As you begin this process you will see how each flower seems to cost more than the last and has to be flown in from Mars on the space shuttle just for you. Those *#?@!! flowers! Before you get all Bridezilla on us, it’s not that bad. I think it’s great to have a vision, but choose flowers in season and try to get one kind that will fit your theme. This saves you in cost, the florist will order from local vendors. There won’t be an extra charge to fly a flower in for the wedding.
After all this spending for something that will die in a few hours later; why not put it to good use. Flowers can be donated to nursing homes and assisted living facilities. It’s a good reason to get really good flowers for the day. The longer they last the more good they do. Log onto the I Do Foundation and see the many benefits of your celebration.

You may love the elaborate displays, but your wallet will will die a painful death. Broke, busted, and dollarless will do that. Keep it simple, Maxine and Gloria created each table to have a different centerpeice. In a low round clear bowl, the flowers had the table number nestled in it. The look was very exotic.
Another alternative will have you save your bouquet forever.
Crystols Bouquet’s Boutique will create a Swavorski crystal bouquets. These flowers won’t die a few hours after the wedding. Bridesmaids bouqets and your groomsmen boutineers can also be customized to match your wedding colors. Crystals are so hot now. It seemed like every bride on Platinum Weddings thought they were the most unique bride in the world when crystals were peppered throughtout their reception. But out of all those UBER rich brides, no one had a Swavorski bouquet, so you win! I crown thee The Most Unique Of All The Brides It The World!
