Trying to start over with flowers...

Yes, 2 months to go and I think I need to start over... Our flowers have just gone way over whatever budget I thought I had especially since we are adding like another 10 tables than contracted.

I was going for a white/ light pink theme with the flowers but I'm open to any suggestions you think might go with these dresses.

These are my centerpieces and bm bo-ks (both orchids) and the girls dresses:

What florist are you using?

Anything would work with those dresses, so pretty! Are you looking for the same kind of look for less, or something totally different?

it would help alot if you did half high and half low CPS esp since you are adding 10 more tables!

I was going to say the same thing, I happen to love the way mixed centerpieces look. I feel like it opens up the room a little bit

to save some money, try using less expensive flowers. orchids are super expensive. even roses can be pricey. try asking your florist what is in season, and maybe use some wildflowers are they are cheaper and can look amazing.

how about using pink roses instead...roses are usually less expensive so that will probably help you save

Thats really pretty! I think I'd like something like this in a pinker tone and you still got some orchids in it. I think I'm gonna e-mail her this bo-k.

I agree! See how much this will bring the cost down before you redo everything...

Roses are generally less expensive than other flowers. Use the orchids as an accent flower, rather than the main focus.

It mid-June hydrangea should be in season as well, which will fill in your CP's nicely.
Price out peonies, although I know they can be expensive, but the larger bloom packs more of a punch visually.
