Flowers & Decorations

This is one area that it is not hard to budget on at all, because when it comes to decorations we have so many options. The most cost effective way for decorations and flowers, is DIY. Go to an art supply store, such as AC moore and you will see just how much options you have. Arts and Craft stores can be your go to place for silk flowers as well. Most of the time silk flowers will be less expensive than real flowers (and they are just as nice). Really, it's not hard to make bouquets and stuff, it's actually very easy, do a search on the internet and you will find that bouquets only require a few simple steps, I was going to go this route myself until I came across some beautiful silk flowers that I saw on etsy.com for $295.00 (Because it matched perfectly with my colors) and that's still cheaper than real flowers, because I was getting a good package with it, a bride's bouquet, I think 3 bridesmaids bouquets, a corsage, and a couple of boutonnieres. Once again, check craigslist.com there are always people who offers there services at reasonable prices.
