Flowers

Hello all

I'm so sorry, it was not my intention of "shaming" anyone for any of their choices, and I certainly wasn't trying to sell my own work, I just wanted people's opinions! I am truly sorry if I have caused offense, it certainly was not intended.

As for the transport for the day, Expensive Green Diamonds, you are correct, it WOULD be hypocritical to assume everyone will drive, we have arranged a coach instead, so that there should be less of an impact that way. We're not eco-warriors by a long chalk, but we just wanted to try and be more considerate. You're also right about the recycling and upcycling - nearly all of our decs /centerpieces and cake stands are from charity shops, ebay, Sellmywedding and Gumtree. The only thing I have bought mostly new were the faux flowers as I did want quality ones that looked realistic, with the intention of them being used several times.

Once again, my apologies if my post came across in the wrong way.

I am getting my bouquet for about £70, and the bridesmaids for about £40 each. Button holes are costing a couple pounds a pop, and all the decoration is being done with hyper realistic fake flowers from IKEA and Hobbycraft that are costing about £1 each. All together were spending about £500 on flowers

Wedding flower arrangements are an important aspect of wedding decor, adding beauty and elegance to the ceremony and reception. These arrangements can include bouquets for the bride and bridesmaids, boutonnieres for the groom and groomsmen, centerpieces for tables, and flowers for the ceremony arch or altar.

I'm getting all my bridesmaids flowers from my local supermarket! It's like 6 pounds for a bouquet and I'm just going to chop and change them around so there's a mix in each bouquet.
