A small basket will use less flowers than a big bouquet. With all the putting down and picking up throughout the day they can look pretty worn out by the end of the evening. Also, if you want to keep your wedding flowers and intend on drying your wedding floral arrangements, it's important the flowers stay fresh as long as possible.
Below are lots of fabulous wedding flower ideas on how to make your own bridal flower baskets, and because you are using a small basket and cheaper flowers, it becomes more affordable for your pocket. Cheap wedding flowers does not mean cheap-looking flowers!
Summertime is a great time to get married, I think. Summer has an abundance of beautiful fresh flowers, amazing colors and wonderful perfumes great for your wedding. It's hard to choose the right flowers with so much to choose from.
To cut costs down but still make your arrangement amazing, try using one or two expensive flowers as your main focus flower and for the rest, use cheaper wedding flowers.
For example, the expensive flowers could be Calla Lilies, Roses, Orchids or Lilacs mixed
with more reasonably priced flowers like Daisies, Carnations, Gerber's
and a filler with the good old Gypsophila (Baby's Breath) and green foliage.
Sometimes simple summer wedding flowers can be the most amazing.
Blue wedding flowers are said to bring good luck to a bride on her wedding day. Maybe that's why blue is such a popular color for wedding floral arrangements.

Blue wedding flower ideas. Blue flowers come in all different shades of blue, from dark blue to light blue, also blue goes very well with other colors of flowers and looks stunning against a white or cream wedding dress. |
But to have all blue flowers would be too much blue. Adding white flowers for example, breaks up the blue and adds a touch of softness to any wedding flower ideas.
Don't forget some filler for your arrangement, it can be green, blue or white. Below are a few ideas for what you can use.
Make your own wedding floral arrangements into beautiful bridal flower baskets for you and your bridesmaids with fresh flowers and decorate the basket with ribbons, bows and pearls for your special wedding day.

If you find the stems are delicate, insert some green florist wire up the middle of
the stem or wrap the wire around the stem; this will give lots of
support. Keep the arrangement compact. Wedding flower ideas.
Your and your bridesmaids' wedding floral arrangements could be placed
on your tables at the reception as the centerpiece. Two jobs in one.
If you would like to keep your fresh wedding flowers forever, why not dry your wedding floral arrangement and keep the memories for ever?
It's nice for the bride to hold a fresh wedding floral arrangement, but it can work out very expensive. Have you ever thought of silk flowers, made into a wedding floral basket for you and your bridesmaids?
Silk flowers have come a long way. A long time ago they looked
like artificial flowers, all thick and plasticy, but now-a-days there
are fabric flowers, silk flowers and they look so real.
When I walk into a craft store I am overwhelmed by the variety of
artificial flowers available: all colors and all kinds of flowers,
flowers not normally available certain times of the year.
Buy good quality flowers and your guests will not be able to tell they are artificial. The advantages of using artificial flowers is that they stay looking fresh throughout the wedding day and they will keep for years to come.
Wedding Floral Arrangements.
Flower girls scattering petals of Roses, Sweet Peas, scented flower petals, fresh Lavender, Rosemary, Lemon scented Geranium leaves in the path of the bride adds that fairy-tale touch.
Mixing fragrant herbs with scented flower petals will release a wonderful perfume as the bride walks on the petals and herbs.
The basket to use for this occasion is a small basket as it's easier to
carry for those little hands. Decorate the outside of the basket with
fresh or artificial flowers and a ribbon tied to the bottom of the handle.
Ask your local florists if they can save their petals, the more the better, sometimes for free. The herbs you can buy at your local supermarket or try a garden center or maybe you grow your own.
These could also be handed out to your guests to shower you, the bride and groom, as you leave the reception.
Making your own wedding bridal baskets and wedding gift bags will save you a fortune and that's what we all want. Wedding floral arrangements, great wedding flower ideas.
Don't forget Boutonnieres and Corsages. They are also part of the wedding floral arrangements.
Boutonnieres and Corsages consist of one flower sometimes with a little foliage. The ladies could have the same flower but in a different color from the men. Great Wedding Flower Ideas.
