I love flowers, don’t get me wrong. We’ve all seen the crazy pictures from Preston Bailey’s weddings and our eyes widen with joy. But seriously, not everyone has millions of dollars or thousands of dollars for that matter to spend on flowers. It’s just not feasible for most.
There’s a dark side to wedding planning sometimes – that pressure a bride feels to have the best of the best of the best (with honors!). However, $1,000 centerpieces are not always the answer, nay it may be never be the answer to spend that much on a centerpiece. Your guests can have a fabulous time without expensive flowers. It’s not about the flowers, it’s about the energy of the wedding, the great food, the free flowing drinks (non-alcoholic too!) and the upbeat music!

Flowers will be the least important thing to me. I agree, the energy of the wedding is much more important. As far as pictures go, I am not going to care about what flowers were present, rather the pictures that will be the most important to me will be filled with the people!
