Save money on your wedding flowers in Toowoomba

As a professional florist, I have more than a few tips and tricks to save you money on your overall floral budget.

But what if I told you that one of the best ways to save money on your wedding budget, is simple? It’s something that keeps the theme on point and makes the most of the things you were already planning for…

The secret is to repurpose, repurpose and REPURPOSE.

Move your wedding flowers from ceremony to reception

From moving the flowers from the aisle, ceremony, and signage to the reception and cocktail hour, you save on time, finances, and the sanity of your florist AND your significant other.

Not to mention, the florals will bring a statement to your reception and back into your day and night.

Working with a wedding florist who understands the logistics of local venues can make these transitions seamless.

We moved the ceremony flowers into the reception venue at Preston Peak, one of Toowoomba’s most popular wedding venues.

It is something to plan for time wise. But if we know it’s something you want, we’ll help you in the early stages to make sure you’ve left time for our team to move the flowers from one location to the next, whilst also leaving time for your guests and you to take photos after the ceremony.

Because we're 100% sure the last thing your photographer wants is a blurry florist running away with your arbour when they had a picture in mind.

It's all about teamwork on the wedding day, and we're here to make things run smoothly so you can just enjoy yourselves.

Turn your flowers into meaningful favours

Another way you can also save money on your flowers and for your wedding together is to ask for the florist to come back at the end of the night and repurpose the flowers once more for wedding guests as their favours into posies.

This is a great way to ensure you get the very best out of your flowers, and it makes the night a little more magical for the guests because who doesn’t like getting flowers?

What happens to your flowers after the wedding?

Repurposing your wedding flowers as favours also solves one of the biggest problems, one of the untold/unspoken things in the wedding industry – flower wastage at the end of the night.

A lot of florists and venues just chuck it in the bin after your big day. You’ve spent thousands of dollars on your flowers — why not stretch your flowers out and make your wedding favours something really remarkable? Talk to me, or your florist if you’ve already booked in with someone else, about how you can go about creating really beautiful posies or even designs for them to take home at the end of the night.

Too many flowers left over?

Donate or repurpose your wedding flowers

And if there are too many flowers at the end of the night, what can you and your florist do to possibly donate or give your flowers a new life?

I'd love to help you plan a thoughtful way to donate your flowers locally in Toowoomba, if you decide repurposing isn't for you.

Don’t forget to plan for the end of the night

I know I’ve spent a whole post here talking about it, but it’s the BIG thing that people always forget about when it comes to wedding planning.

Use these tips so that at the end of the night, there is no question of what is going to happen to your flowers. They’ll be sorted and looked after, without someone chasing you down to make a decision on a night that you should spend celebrating.
