Wedding planning – save thousands not just in your flowers arrangement

I've been there two years ago. The big day is coming up, and you realize how expensive it's going to be. From the menu and the dress, through the flower arrangements to the bridal gown, it all cost quite a lot. Just like you, I planned my dream wedding. But unlike most brides, I managed doing so in a real budget. You've probably already noticed that as soon as you put the word wedding next to any product, its price climbs up remarkably – no gown or dress cost like the one you'll wear in your big day, and try comparing the prices of your centerpieces to any other event flower arrangements. Although using the same material, wedding related services are priced much higher. This well known secret, as well as other great money saving tips, were actually realized to me as I read the amazing book of wedding planning. The most common tips you can get from here and there can probably save you hundreds of dollars. But what if I told you that you can save 50% to 80% of your special day related expenses? Yes, just like that. My friends new I have a tight budget for my wedding, so they couldn't understood how I managed to have a $30,000 wedding. Well, it's quite simple. It cost me only $13,000! I bet now you have the same surprised look on your face as my two best friends that had their wedding a few months before mine, and were amazed when I introduced them the wedding plan book. All they could say was: "You're so lucky…If I had this book a year ago I could save myself thousand of dollars. Let me give you just a few examples from this money saving book:
  • The gown you're going to buy, I bet it cost more than a $1000 and some times even $2000. Did you tried to look for it in a non wedding shops or asked your self what's its material price? Well, no more than $100.
  • What if you could slash %50 of your alcohol and menu expenses?
  • Buy your products without paying that hidden fee that relates to the fact that the product is needed for wedding. The vendors have many names for these fees, such as "dress try-on" and "cake-cutting" fees. This book instructed me how to avoid these fees.

Some of you may think that if I managed to cut my expenses so heavily, surely I've compromised on my dress, menu or some other thing. Well, you're wrong. I had a stunning wedding not in my backyard, without buying cheap quality dress or asking my friend to take photos. Remember, your wedding is a once in a lifetime event. You should not pay for it all your life…This book, although it cost less than $40, reveals all the wedding industry secrets can saves you thousands of dollars. This is a no-risk deal, since it gives you full guarantee:

1. You can get your money back in 8 weeks if you re just not completely delighted with it. Of course, this is more than fair, but it's not all –

2. If after your wedding, you didn't save at least $1000 in savings with the information and tools in this guide, you'll get your money back.

5 steps to get your flower for wedding that would amaze your guests while cutting down your expenses

Get-stunning-flower-for-wedding
1. Get ideas and inspiration from the internet, bridal magazines and wedding you're invited to. Get pictures of bouquets and flower centerpieces that really thrill you.


2. Pick a theme for your wedding. The theme will guide you in your various selections regarding your special day – starting from the right location through your menu choice and your dress and of course your floral arrangements. There are hundreds of themes to choose from such as animal wedding themes (think of a butterfly wedding theme, turning your wedding into wedding a fantasy), beach wedding (the most romantic, I believe) and many more. There are many sites and experts with plenty of information about traditional weddings. Theme wedding is completely different. Luckily, after making my own web research, I stumbled upon the great wedding theme ideas book, with more than a thousand (!) ideas how to plan a stunning wedding without blowing my budget.

Thanks to this inspiring guide, I had the most amazing wedding. And guess what –it cost less than $30, which is much less than any wedding planner would cost you and can save you weeks of getting this crucial information. Believe me; wedding is much more than your dress and bouquet…

3. Summer or spring wedding? Some flowers are seasonal, which means they're much expensive when it's out of their season. Make sure the flowers you've chosen are in season in your region.

4. Decide which places will be decorated, but don't miss the following spots:

  • Arch of flowers at the entrance gate.
  • The aisle, obviously.
  • All tables, especially the cake and buffet table.

5. Most important tip when choosing your flower for wedding is that you don't have to pay hundreds of dollars to a florist. You can do a great work yourself. Before my wedding, I was famous in my two left hands and couldn't even distinguish a lily from a rose. Nevertheless, I've managed to make all the wedding flowers arrangements all by myself (and with the help of my bridesmaids), make my guest amazed and convinced a personal florist did it. And it all thanks to the amazing book of How to Create Your Own Stunning Wedding Flower Bouquets and Arrangements – Without Paying Expensive Florist Fees

The book showed me exactly how to produce fantastic wedding flower arrangements but at a fraction of the price a florist would charge. It is really easy to follow and it has some great designs. It explains you how to make amazing flowers arrangements, from a stylish ‘hand-tied’ bridal bouquet and an elegant arm bouquet of calla lilies to perfect orchid and rose wedding boutonnieres (buttonholes), all described in a step by step manner, with pictures along each and every step. The most amazing thing is its low price – less then $30! You get great free bonus with it - "Essential Wedding Tips" special report worth $19.

Flowers add so much to your wedding. They come in different colors which symbolize love, lust, prosperity and more. Their fragrance and beauty can add so much to your most important day in your life. The problem, just like in other aspects of your big event, is the price. The good news is that you can make great wedding flower arrangement and slash your expenses by half, just as I did. From something that I first considered only a pro can do, it became to a fun DIY activity.

I've been attending so many weddings, that I must say – flowers aren't less important than your dress or the menu. From calla lilies to red roses, it's usually the first thing the guests would notice when arriving. It's the most important day of your life, and you want everything to be perfect. You are dedicating so much time for selecting the right color for the table maps, chairs, the best menu and location, but the floral arrangement should get the same attention of yours. Believe me, it's one of the things that can really impress your friends and family and make them remember your wedding for a long time – after all, the first sight they see will be the ceremony flowers. When I started planning my wedding two years ago, very soon I realized that my big day is going to cost big money. But I wouldn't agree to compromise about my wedding flowers. To make a long story short, the first thing my guests asked me when I returned from my honeymoon was "Where did you find your amazing florist?" My bouquet as well as the table centerpieces and all floral arrangements really made an impression on my guests. And guess what – it cost me half the price any florist charges for a wedding. I'm sure you're all surprised, as I was, before a friend introduced me the wedding flowers book. After looking through dozens of magazines for ideas and being amazed of the spectacular bouquets and flower centerpieces at my friends' weddings, I can honestly say that the floral arrangements at my wedding were stunning just the same, but cost me half.
