Weddings on a Budget: Make a Splash with Tiny Floral Arrangements
Wedding ceremonies and receptions featuring cascades of gorgeous blooms are beautiful, but flowers can really take a huge chunk out of a wedding budget. If you don’t want to spend a fortune on flowers, you can make a wonderful impression with tiny floral arrangements and stay well within your budget.
A Variety of Blooms
Choose a few different types of flowers that will match your wedding theme and colors. Place them in small, coordinating containers and arrange them in a line down your reception tables. This is a charming look and the arrangements are short enough to allow interruption-free conversation at the tables.
Choose your favorite flower, and place a few buds in charming vases for the centers of tables. Choosing larger blossoms like peonies or ranunculus will let you get away with placing only 2-3 flowers in each vase. With the variety of colors available, finding the perfect shade shouldn’t be difficult.

Charming and Rustic
Use small blossoms divided into small bouquets. Place them in small, clear vases and wrap in burlap or some other decorative fabric. Finish it off by wrapping raffia or a ribbon around the fabric-covered vase and tie in a bow. The effect is really beautiful and it’s very inexpensive.

Flower Rings
Use shallow, wide dishes and glue taper candle holders to the inside. Add a small amount of water to the dish. Place long taper candles in candleholders and then ring with 3-4 blossoms of your favorite flower. This is an inexpensive and beautiful way to dress your tables.
