If you are trying to save money on your up-coming wedding - you may want to consider trimming the flowers. Here are my tips: 1) attend bridal events and find out what the recommended florists are charging 2) Compare the prices to those on wedding websites 3) Look on craigslist.com, sometimes florists are advertising there 4) Go to flower shops in the area and see what they are charging 5) Find out how much flowers cost at the wholesaler and what flowers are in season for your wedding date.
Once you've asked around, have contacts, and know the original prices of flowers start trying to make deals. If you want to go with an expensive florist, knowing the original flower costs and even season flowers, will help you bargain. If that doesn't work, ask around. You may be able to find someone who arranges flowers on the side. That is what I did. It saved us thousands. I helped her pick out the flowers at the wholesaler and she arranged the flowers for the wedding. If you aren't lucky yo find someone to arrange them, take a flower arranging class and pool the wedding party together for help. Buy the flowers from the wholesaler and practice arranging for the wedding. Then the week of the wedding get the party together to buy and arrange the flowers for the wedding. Make sure you have access to a cold room to store the flowers until the day. You will also need boxes to transport everything to the wedding. IF you don't want to arrange all the flowers, you can always buy the floral decorations from a professional and just arranging the bridal party's flowers on your own.

Good luck
