Wedding Flowers
Flowers for weddings can be costly or fairly reasonable, depending on what you choose and how you arrange them. You also have the decision whether they're silk flowers or real ones.
For my wedding, my mother-in-law to be made the arrangements. My mom purchased flowers from the local florist, then hubby's mom made the corsages and bouquets, as well as arrangements for the table. This was a small home wedding, so didn't require a huge number of arrangements.
My bouquet consisted of a strip of flowers along a ribbon that I carried on top of a small white Bible. My aunt, who was my matron of honor, carried a bouquet. The moms had corsages and dads, best man and groom boutonnieres.

For my daughter's wedding in a state 600 miles from our home, I arranged for silk flowers. A friend created these floral arrangements as a business and made lovely bouquets and corsages that would last a life time. These arrangements also traveled well when my husband and I drove to the wedding.
Because each wedding was different and in different eras (silk flowers weren't much in use when I married), we chose what met our needs and added to the beauty memories of each wedding.
