Tips Tricks and Budget Friendly Advice
Planning your wedding florals should feel like a beautiful part of the journey — not a stressful one. Whether you’re dreaming of a lush ceremony arch, a bouquet that feels like “you,” or timeless table styling, your florals set the tone and tell your love story through texture, colour, and design.
At To Forage, we believe luxury doesn’t have to come with limits. Here are a few of our favourite floral tips and budget-friendly ideas to help you create something truly unforgettable.
1. Start with Your Vision, Not Your Pinterest Board
It’s easy to get lost in endless scrolling, but your florals should feel personal. Start by choosing three words that describe your dream wedding (for example: romantic, garden-inspired, elegant). This helps guide your floral choices, colours, and textures, while keeping things cohesive and true to you.
💐 2. Focus on Key Moments
If you’re working within a budget, invest in the moments that matter most, your bridal bouquet, ceremony backdrop, and a few statement pieces.
These are the florals that will feature in your photos and set the tone for your entire day.
Reception florals can often be simplified by repurposing your ceremony pieces (we’ll help you plan this seamlessly!).
🌸 3. Real Touch and Dried Florals - A Smart Investment
Real touch and dried florals are perfect for couples who want beauty that lasts. They photograph beautifully, hold up in all weather, and can be hired or kept forever.
At To Forage, we specialise in creating stunning real-touch arrangements that look like they were freshly picked from the garden, without seasonal or budget restrictions.
🌼 4. Mix Fresh and Faux for the Best of Both Worlds
A great way to save while keeping your florals feeling organic is to blend fresh greenery or blooms with real touch or dried pieces. This gives you the fragrance and softness of fresh flowers with the structure and longevity of faux.
e with in-season alternatives or high-quality real touch pieces. Focusing on a colour palette instead of specific flowers gives you flexibility and saves costs.
🌾 6. Think Beyond the Bouquet
Add floral touches in creative places - a floral welcome sign, a hanging installation above your bar, or a few loose blooms on your cake. Small details go a long way in tying your theme together and creating a cohesive, luxurious look.
💕 7. Hire with Heart
Hiring your ceremony and reception florals is one of the most budget-friendly and sustainable choices you can make. Our custom-designed hire collections give you the look of fresh luxury with no waste, and you can still keep your bridal bouquet as a keepsake.
🌻 8. Trust Your Florist’s Expertise
Once you’ve shared your vision, trust your florist to bring it to life. We know which blooms complement your style, what works with your venue lighting, and how to make your floral budget stretch further without compromising beauty.
