Bridal Bouquet
We saved a lot of money by using silk frangipanis mixed in with real flowers. To import the frangipanis it would've cost around $2 per flower - the silk flowers cost around $20 for frangipanis used in my bouquet, the three bridesmaids' and groomsmen's.
We also used silk flowers on the tables - we made the arrangements a number of weeks prior to the wedding. Obviously the arrangements didn't wilt during our summer wedding but we paid around $50 for 10 table arrangements instead of hundreds and hundreds of dollars.
