Micheals, Hobby Lobby and some WalMarts sell those inexpensive silk ones. For fresh flowers, go with single longstemmed roses wrapped in a length of tulle

ok, this is an interesting question because i never realised how expensive flowers can be for weddings!!
chose a bouquet/style you want from a wedding magazine, copy it! surely it can't be that hard, can it?! chose a contemporary/simple design.
go to your local market, or even better go to the flower market where the flower-stall-holders Get their stock from..should be cheaper, plus you will be buying in bulk!
Use the flowers for the pews with ribbons
do something simple but effective for the table decorations
and make your bouquet
just realised that flowers need to last in time for the day...hmm, not sure about this as could be really stressfull trying to make the flowers up the night before or the morning of the wedding!! good luck !

well your flower girls dont need a bouquet get them a baskets or a pouch (like what you would have your rings carried in) and feel with rose petals. most florist sell the rose petals of almost dead flowers out a really big discount. As for your bridemaids how about having them carry a candle? Or you can go to a wholesale store such as sams and buy fresh flowers from there for cheap. Good luck on your wedding.

Go to the craft store and buy a few bunchs of flowers and make the bouquets yourself. There should be plenty of sites online to show you how to do it, or check a local library on craft or flower arranging books!
Also get some pretty ribbons and the craft stores have the holders and such there as well. The veil can be made yourself also.
I have done this a few times over for friends working on a limited budget.

you would possibly want to continually in simple terms enable your bridesmaids have a similar form bouquet as you, yet with basically 3-5 flowers of their bouquet. I have also seen coastline themed weddings the position they'd a starfish embellishment on the bouquet that grow to be extremely lovable!

Make an artificial one yourself. Or go to a smaller florist who wont charge the earth. make sure you pick flowers that are in season so the cost of importing isn't high.
There are plenty of flower warehouses about but you may need to be a member, check out your yellow pages for craft warehouses and see what they come up with. they may have bouquets done up for show and you may be able to buy them at a price.

Find a large bouquet - that you can split up between you all - this will work out cheaper than buying loads of small ones - i think the less floweres the more effective it looks anyway - congrats!

If you go to a small flower stall they will normally do them for you. I got 2 bouquets 10 button hole roses and 5 displays for the house and it cam to £90 because I went to my local undercover market and found a flower stall

You could go for silk/fabric flowers. This would let you purchase them in advance, and make them up at anytime. This lets you spread out the cost and the bonus is they keep forever! Match it with ribbons, lace or foliage for the finishing touch. Look at wedding magazines for ideas on arrangements, and an idea on how many of what flowers you'll need.
If you want to scent of flowers, place a little essential oils on a cotton ball or the leaves of the arrangement. Or you can spray them with your favorite perfume.
For the little ones you can purchase cane baskets with handles, to make it easier for them to hold (then they don't need so many flowers). Tie a matching bow at the top, or on both sides of the handle. You can even fill them with the fake petals for the little ones to throw.
You can even make the button holes for the men from the same flowers.
I've done this for several friends, and even used the silk flowers to top the cakes!

silk arrangements can be quite beautiful and kept for ever....
but if you prefer fresh flowers, you can still get away with a beautiful DIY bouquet. to keep the cost low, make sure you buy flowers that are 'in season' at the time of your wedding. choose your favorite as the main flower, and use an assortment of 'filler' flowers to fill it up. you'd be surprised at the lovely arrangements you can make for little money, and they can be done faily quickly.
the flower girls can also blow bubbles as they walk down the aisle, it'll be a nice whimsical touch, and very pretty, and the little ones love it, they'll happily walk down the aisle if they get to blow bubbles.
