Tips on Cutting Costs




Simple Arrangements: A simple rose or carnation in an inexpensive vase on your guests' tables will make a beautiful centerpiece. Most Planners or Florists will even rent vases which can help reduce the cost of your centerpiece.

Silk Flowers: You will have to literally touch flowers to determine if they are real. Silk flowers can be one of the nicest flowers that resemble real flowers. You can use them on the pews or in places that your guests can view them from a distance.

Your Garden: Try growing your own flowers. Visit your local Depot store and ask about growing your flowers. You will be surprised how simple it is to grow your very own flowers for your wedding.

Seasonal Flowers: When working with your planner or florist, ask which flowers will be in season on your wedding date. Seasonal flowers will be less expensive than flowers that are out of season.

Edible Centerpieces: If your centerpieces are edible, you can save on flowers. Use fresh strawberries or apples dipped in chocolate. The centerpieces on your guests table can be used as a dessert or a take home snack for your guests.

Bouquet Option: Most Brides feel it's a must to purchase an expensive bridal bouquet. Instead of spending hundreds, use a dozen long-stemmed roses, carnations or gardenias. You can purchase ribbons that match your flowers or your wedding color to tie around your flowers.  

Invitations: Always double check your guest lists to delete names of guests you know are unable to attend. If you know for sure they are unable to attend your wedding, it's not necessary to send them a save the date. Ofcourse if you receive a gift, a thank you note should be sent. There are many great online wedding stationery stores. One of my favorite for the cost friendly bride is, Vista Printwhich offers great deals on free shipping and are alot less expensive. 

Favors: At Infinite Wedding Block, we are also resellers of favors. We have hand picked favors we feel are both inexpensive and stunning for our Brides to choose from while planning their wedding. There are a lot of crafty brides, but sometimes it's worth the cost to have your favors shipped to your door with nothing to do. Visit Infinite Wedding Block which offers weekly deals, discounts and free shipping. Follow us on twitter to immediately know when you can save. Twitter
