How to save on flowers & decor.
Choose seasonal flowers
Out-of-season blooms cost 2-3x more and may not look as fresh. Ask your florist what is in season for your wedding month.
Repurpose ceremony flowers
Move your ceremony arch arrangement to the reception head table or cake table — double the impact for the same cost.
Mix fresh with dried or foliage
Native Australian greenery and dried elements are cheaper than imported roses and look stunning.
Keep centrepieces simple
Candle clusters with a few stems cost $30-50 per table vs $150-250 for tall floral arrangements.
