Trying to come up with something really creative while not blowing your budget is tricky.  That’s why I love this idea of combining your guest favors and your centerpieces all into one.  I don’t think this idea has been given the attention it deserves.  Talk to us about your budget, we would love to source the perfect vase to bring this vision to life for you.  If you already know your wedding date, don’t hesitate to set up a consultation, we are booking up rather quickly.

I don’t think much needs to be said for our 2nd contender for our budget wise brides.  Simplicity really is key here, and I love how simple and chic baby’s breath is just all by itself.  Not a trace of a rose or a carnation anywhere. 

You can use it to create sweet bouquets, or centerpieces with some real impact .  Remember, it’s not the cost of the wedding that your guests will focus on.  So if you are on a limited budget,  here is a perfect flower for you to use and really have some fun with.  We know it’s not a usual suspect, but that’s what we like most  about it.

Everything that Rainflower Company does always has the stamp of originality on it, no matter what flower you choose.  Talk to us about how to make your wedding Chic and Simple.

Lets face it, If money wasn’t an issue everyone would have their venues filled with callas, roses and orchids. But, unfortunately, this isn’t the case for most brides. There is one word that can ruin your plans to be walking on a bed of rose petals on your special day and that word is…Budget.  The “B” Word that everyone hates to say, but must try to follow to some degree.  Well, here are some ideas to keep your “budget” in check while exploring some options you may not have considered before.

CARNATIONS
(Dianthus caryophyllus)

 They are available year round in a multitude of gorgeous colours, have a slightly aromatic scent, last forever, and of course are the epitome of chic and cheap when done “en masse”.  Forget the baby’s breath and the skimpy presentations of the past.  They need to be full, lush and grouped together tightly to make an impact.  Yes, when done right, they can be the perfect alternative to the more pricier blooms that everyone is lusting over and can’t afford… Forget the bad rap that preceded them, carnations are cool again.
