Make your flowers do dual duty - We are all for making your decor go the extra mile, so decorating your ceremony location with florals that can then serve double duty during cocktail hour and the reception is right up our alley. Ask your florist, coordinator or even your sweet as can be bridesmaids to move flowers used during the ceremony to the reception to decorate cocktail tables, the guest book, the cake table and more!
Think Outside The Box
Go one-color - A cluster of flowers in one color is sure to make a statement. And that doesn't mean it has to be a cluster of orchids -- a cluster of carnations or mums will do just fine! Line them up on your banquet table in a row, or use different heights to add dimension. Working with one color palette makes things beautifully cohesive.
Bring on the money - Fluff up your floral design with some inexpensive but statement-worthy greenery, which serves as a inordinate filler and is less expensive than flowers. Instead of filling an entire vase with peonies or roses, incorporate some pretty ferns or eucalyptus with one or two blossoms, so you can get the beauty of those blooms on a budget.
Add some ambiance - Candles can make a big, romantic impact. Nothing beats the ambiance of a room full of twinkling candlelight. Nothing. Consider using lots of candles on your table with either bud vases or even loose blossoms around the bases. Big impact, without the big costs.
Many of the most spectacular weddings on Style Me Pretty are literally overflowing with the prettiest flowers you could ever imagine. But little do most know, having a luxurious floral design doesn't always take an extreme floral budget.
We're rounding up some of our best ideas for keeping your flower costs down while not having to sacrifice on serious style. From adding in bunches of vibrantly hued fruit to using found props to add interest, this list will give you that sigh of floral relief you just might need.
Prop it up - The center of your guest tables can be a bit daunting when on a flower budget, but you can fill the space with things that are near and dear to you and your hubby's (or wife's) heart! Books, pictures, knick knacks -- just about anything goes!
Get a lush look on a budget - We obviously love peonies, who doesn't? But large flowers like peonies and garden roses tend to be the most expensive, so ask your florist if they can use three of a smaller, less expensive flower to create a similar style. Carnations get a bad rap, but when combined together can create that lush look we lust over.
Fill it up with fruit - Fruit is another fabulous option to help cut down your floral budget. Whether you incorporate it into a centerpiece (great for a farm or winery wedding) or make it the centerpiece (think: pops of beautiful colors), it's sure to make for a memorable detail for your guests.

DIY - We are always amazed with how DIY savvy brides are these days and have been seeing more and more of them take on the task of floral design. If you are a DIY bride, consider doing the centerpieces yourself (keeping it simple with bud vases and candles) and ask a professional to handle your personal and ceremony flowers, which can be more difficult to assemble.

How It Looks
Supplement with succulents - We can't get enough of succulents -- it's true. They are gorgeous and can go with just about any fete. Modern, rustic, glam, elegant -- succulents and their pretty little selves fit into any occasion, and do so without breaking the bank.Prop it up - The center of your guest tables can be a bit daunting when on a flower budget, but you can fill the space with things that are near and dear to you and your hubby's (or wife's) heart!
