Time Savers For Busy Brides—Free Tips, Solutions and Ideas To Make Your Wedding Planning Less Stressful

June, 2005 Wedding Tips

June Weddings!

This month's featured tip:
Saving money on flowers
-- and using flowers to save money!

This month, flower and cake tips from a seasoned wedding professional to help you save money, reduce stress, and add a touch of personal style to your wedding.

From Prima Diva, owner of Prima Diva Spa Experience:

My favorite tip for decorating the head table -- bring vases to your reception site, and use them to hold the bridal party's bouquets during the reception. You'll solve the problem of what to do with the bouquets, while also displaying them prominently for everyone to see. And you'll avoid the expense of flowers for the head table.

Another flower-related tip: consider using flower petals to decorate a simpler cake (even a sheet cake). You will save a lot of money on the cake (perhaps even hundreds of dollars), while also adding an elegant, personal touch. You can even add a seasonal flair this way.

[Editor's note: we recently saw a variation on this wedding cake idea that was beautiful: fresh fruit decorating a rather simple tiered cake. Large fresh strawberries, grapes, halved figs, and other fruits added a fresh, modern, colorful touch ... and probably saved money, too.]
