BIG FLOWERS MEAN BIG IMPACT

Big, hearty flowers can give you lots of impact on your wedding day and keep costs down.  Roses, star chrysanthemums, dahlias, star gazer lilies and carnations give you lots of bang for your buck.  When used in the right color combinations, they will really give you an elegant look and a dramatic result.   Add some lovely wide ribbon and you get eyecatching bouquets and centerpieces.  Use lots of the these types of flowers and sprinkle in a few more expensive, special flowers for that expensive-for-less look.   Whether you have a lot of area to cover or want to keep your floral budget down, this is a great way to go.

Talk to your florist about how they can help you implement these ideas into your wedding day floral scheme.  One of my favorite floral designers is Audrey O’Brien of Studio Stems.  Check her out at www.studiostems.com.
