I have been asked recently during several consultations .."Tannie , What do you think if I don't want any flowers at my wedding and reception?" My answer has always been the same to each and every question that is posed to me during consultation's about my thoughts. "What do YOU think?" I understand that with the economy in a downturn couples are thinking outside the box to find ways to cut corners. I personally love the no flowers idea and have actually blogged about it before in regards to alternatives to bridemaids flowers. The Knot recently wrote a article addressing this issue and here are a few great ideas that was suggested as well as points to consider.
What is you reason for NOT wanting flowers? Do you have an averse feeling towards flowers , is it because of a budget constraint or do you just have a desire to do something that's completely different? Once you have answered this question honestly then we can get going in the right direction.
What are the options to no flowers? There are endless options to no flowers and I will name a few just to get your creative juices flowing that we here at DeVine Choices have used with success in the past.
Anything goes; most items that are beautiful to you it will also look great on your tables.
Note to the wise: Make sure you do a test run at least weeks before the event to make sure that you are pleased with you choices.
