Advice from a budget-minded bride:

“I wanted beautiful flowers for my wedding…that didn’t break my budget.  So I decided to or my flowers wholesale and then arrange the centerpieces myself.

“They turned out…okay…not great, but okay.  I could totally tell the difference between the ones I arranged and the professional bouquets I had.

“If I was doing it again, I would have ordered everything from ProFlowers.com.  They were great!  Sure, I saved money doing my own arrangements, but with all the time my mom and I spent working on them right before the wedding?  It would have been worth having them done professionally.”

An online florist like ProFlowers.com can be a great way to save and still get the flowers of your dreams.
