Wedding Flowers

These days there are so many options when it comes to picking out flowers for your wedding. Silk, fabric, paper, and even items like button bouquets or egg carton flowers are becoming popular. Of course, you can always go with the real deal too.

Ryan and I are pretty sure we'll use real flowers for the ceremony, but are looking at more cost-effective options for the reception and centerpieces. I love the idea of making our own centerpieces and flowers, it's just a matter of choosing which to make. Here are some of the options "we're" (I think Ryan's just seen the egg carton ones...) looking at:

  1. Egg carton flowers at the Intimate Wedding Blog



2. Oragami flowers at Style Me Pretty




3. Button flowers at Getting Married
What ones do you like the best? Any other good ideas?

  4. I love all of them but especially the origami ones. If it is more cost effective, I would TOTALLY go that route. Truthfully, I think flowers are the biggest waste of money as they die so fast. These will last a lot longer and the guests can even bring them home as a keepsake rather than them just getting pitched.

    Fabric is time consuming, but can be cheap if you go 2nd hand! Plus, definitely earth friendly.
