Answer #6
We found that alstroemeria was pretty inexpensive. They're much prettier than carnations (IMHO) and come in lots of colors. We used them in the bouquet and boutennieres.

Alstroemeria Lily, Baby's Breath, Carnation, Chrysanthemum, Daisy, Freesia, Gladiolus, Queen Anne's Lace, Sunflower, Sweet William, all are great and cheap. Also, look to those that are local and in season - it really ups the price when they have to be shipped in. Time of year can affect prices too... Pick some varieties you like, then try to find out when they're in season & where they're from, etc. Local nurseries can be a great source too. Or, try getting married in a garden. You'll save a bundle, trust me! Also: -Try finding a non-professional baker for the cake, or even taking lessons yourself. You can get many supplies at Ben Franklin or even Wal-Mart.-Buffets are cheaper than sit-down dinners. Cash bars are cheaper than open ones. No bar is cheapest of all, & believe me, they'll survive.-Live bands = expensive. And also, alot of times, they kind of suck. A DJ can run you a few hundred, but 5 disc changer strategically hidden with burned compilation discs (CHECK FOR SKIPS THE DAY OF THE WEDDING), is about a few dollars.

Probably carnations. Here in NY we have a lot of places where they sell 2 dozen roses for 10 bucks or so, they don't last long but you'd only need them to last a day if you have places like that where you are. You can usually get extra branches of leaves and /or baby's breath very cheaply and sometimes even free.Depending on where you are, there may be public spaces where wildflowers grow and it's ok to pick them. Call on the bridesmaids or the kids in the family to help with this. Wildflowers make great and different arrangements for weddings.If you or someone you know has a large enough set of clear bowls, you can get away with halfway filling the bowl with water and floating the head of one very large flower on the water and using that as a center piece. You'd be able to get away with one flower per table! A can of cheap spray on glitter, very lightly sprayed on each flower will make them sparkle in candle light.Also consider flower alternatives. Inexpensive florist's vases filled with fruit, or xmas ornaments (think non xmas-y ones like plain satin or metallic balls)...those should be insanely cheap now. Martha stewart often sprays real fruit or vegetables with spray on glue and dips them in glitter and the results are spectacular. Ask around among family and friends if they have any unused clear florist's vases laying around...just about everyone has at least one of those and having different shapes on your tables will make things interesting. They'll probably be glad to get rid of them too.Decorate your tables with inexpensive votive candles or tea lights. If you have an IKEA near you, they have a package of about 80 of them for about 5 dollars. You'll need glass containers to put the candles in for safety reasons and IKEA has these as well. Make sure the top of the container is at least 2 inches above the tip of the flame and put at least 1/2 an inch of water in the bottom of each container before you put the candle in.This will help prevent fire accidents and make the containers easier to clean if the wax melts into them.IKEA also has a lot of other inexpensive decorative items that may be helpful. You can find similar things in dollar stores too.You should be able to find tablecloths, napkins, decorative ribbons, etc at dollar stores too. When going on the cheap, the less ornate your items are (no patterns on the tablecloths, etc), the classier the decor will look. Choose a tasteful colour scheme and stick with it. Stay away from paper streamers. They're overdone at birthday parties and can be a fire hazard with lights and candles. Also stay away from things that say "wedding" or have any kind of wording on them.For the champagne glasses for the bride and groom, get a plain pair of flutes from the dollar store, a few small flowers,and some florist's tape (my florist gives it to me free, you may be able to get it free too) Surround the stem of the flute with the flowers, stems hanging down to the base of the glass and the flowers just clustering around the bottom of the bowl of the glass and wrap florist's tape around the stem, securing the flowers until you've covered the whole stem of the glasses. I did this with very small silk flowers for my cousin's wedding and she still has the glasses (though she got rid of the husband YEARS ago!).Remember, everything looks better in dimmed light so make sure you have the ability to dim room lights.And a last hint, get family and friends to help as much as they can and become good at delegating tasks so you don't go nuts when the day arrives.

Well, you might be able to find something cheaper, but I desperately wanted tulips for my wedding last summer. They were out of season mind you, but I still managed to decorate and have fresh flowers for less than $200. I purchased 100 stems from The Netherlands. THey were shipped overnight and arrived the day before the wedding. I arranged them myself so that saved me money too. If you are interested the website is www.growingtulips.com

Answer #11
Carnations are the cheapest, and if you "bunch" them together tightly they look like large beautiful peonies for much less.
