I’m a wedding florist. Here’s 3 things I wouldn’t spend money on at my own wedding:
1. LARGE BRIDAL PARTY
If you really must, get your girlies to all wear the same colour dress and get some photos without the price tag of buying their dress, shoes, makeup and hair.
2. PERSONAL FLOWERS for family members. Button holes get squished, corsages get itchy, it’s a nice thought but maybe include them in a way that lasts, like a meaningful personal letter.
2. WELCOME SIGN
Controversial I know! But unless you’re in a function centre with multiple weddings happening, chances are your guests have found the wedding.
I’d be ruthless about anything guests barely notice, anything being added simply because it appears on a traditional wedding checklist, and florals that are too small to make a visual difference.
I’d put that money back into the moments that shape the whole room.
