Are you on a shoe-string budget for your wedding? If yes, this article is for you. Wedding decorations are expensive and getting a nice wedding bouquet is not cheap too. Therefore, it is important to keep your cost in check. Now, let me share with you some tips to save money on your wedding bouquet.

1. Avoid bouquet arrangement. Bouquet arrangement is usually the most expensive because they spend a lot more time to complete. It is also heavy and you will have a hard time carrying it around during the wedding ceremony.

2. Avoid long cascading bouquets. Long cascading bouquets are heavy too and they also block your wedding gown. When choosing a wedding bouquet, it is important it should blend well with your gown and should not cover it.

3. Avoid exotic flowers. As exotic flowers are difficult to grow in Singapore, the cost is usually higher and you will have a hard time ordering it.

4. Get a hand tied wedding bouquet. This usually costs half the price of bouquet arrangement. You will speak to the florist and tell her what you like. She will then choose the flowers and arrange them together by tying them with floristry string. Finally, a ribbon is tied around the stem to protect the bride's hands.

5. Get single stem. A single stem can make the bride looks blossoming and elegant. You can have one stem and even increase it to two or three stems by tying them together. Roses, lilies and sunflowers look great as single stem.

6. Get flowers that are grown in the current season. These flowers will be fresher and you can get them easily. As they are grown locally, they are much cheaper when compared to other exotic flowers. Speak to your florist and ask her what is in season at the time of your wedding and she will advise you accordingly.

7. Get stems with lots of flowers so that you will get more blooms for your bucks.

When selecting the flowers for your wedding bouquet, take your time to do it. To look for a list of florists, you can either do a search on Google or browse through your local directory like Yellow Pages. If there is a florist in your neighborhood that you can trust, visit their shop and speak to the florists immediately. Remember to bring the sample of your wedding gown to show the florist so that she will be able to select the design and flowers that suit your gown.
