Here are a few things that you should keep in mind when planning your wedding:

3. Choose local flowers
Purchase your flowers wholesale and just pay for the labor of a professional florist to arrange them. Arrange the flowers yourself. A bouquet made of roses or succulents with a little eucalyptus filler and tied with a ribbon makes a stunning bouquet and you do not need to be a professional to put this together.
4. Have fewer VIPs -
cut your posse in half (a large bridal party equals a hefty florist bill) Consider reducing your bridal party or opt to not have any.
5. Sorry, no shots
- flat bars (no alcohol, only sodas, water, sparkling ciders, etc.)
