3 Ways to Fit a Floral Installation into Your Budget

Dreaming of a show-stopping floral installation for your wedding but worried about the budget? Don’t stress! You can absolutely have that stunning display without breaking the bank. With a few smart moves, you can make room in your budget for the floral installation of your dreams. Here are our top tips to help you get there.

1. Trim Your Guest List

Here’s a little secret: cutting down your guest count is one of the easiest ways to free up cash for the things that matter to you—like that amazing floral installation you’ve been eyeing. Fewer guests mean fewer tables, chairs, and place settings. That translates to more money you can put toward creating a beautiful, jaw-dropping focal point at your wedding. Think about it—an intimate celebration with just your closest loved ones and a killer floral display? Sounds like the perfect day to us!

2. Repurpose Your Ceremony Flowers

Why spend double on flowers when you don’t have to? After you say your vows, those gorgeous ceremony flowers can do double duty at your reception. Move the altar arrangements, aisle markers, or floral arch into your reception space and let them shine all over again. It’s a smart way to stretch your budget without sacrificing style. Plus, you’ll get to enjoy those beautiful blooms for more than just a quick ceremony—they’ll set the scene for your entire evening. Now, not every ceremony design can translate over to the reception, there is so much that goes into making that a seamless transition!

3. Keep Centerpieces Simple

Centerpieces are lovely, but let’s be real—guests only spend part of the evening at their tables. So why not keep the centerpieces simple and let your floral installation steal the show? By choosing minimalist designs for your tables, you’ll have more room in your budget to go all out on that stunning installation. It’s all about making a big impact where it counts, and trust us, your guests will be wowed by the result.
