Frugal Friday




My very first Frugal Friday, how exciting!! :) And while I have a million and ten different frugal tips, I apparently have stage fright. Here I am standing in front of the microphone and my mind has went blank.

Today I went to another florist to get price quotes on wedding flowers. The first store I went to gave me a quote of $100 for my bouquet and $50 each for my bridesmaids. That seemed a bit pricey to me, but I was assured by friends it was a good price. I kept shopping and found a florist today that will do the exact same flowers for $60 for mine and $35 each for the bridesmaids. They are a good quality florist (my darling love has purchased me flowers at this shop on many occasions).

So my frugal tip is this - SHOP AROUND! Be it for expensive wedding items or just groceries, visit different stores and get an idea who has the best prices.

  2. Hey! I got married 2 months ago and had my mom do all my flowers. We got 250 roses and oodles of carnations and spray roses from globalrose.com For all the flowers we paid $299 and they were BEAUTIFUL!! If you (or a mom, aunt, FMIL, friend, etc) are remotely crafty/florally inclined, you might able to do this too! If you want to see pictures of the flowers/boquets, how they came, etc just email me or leave a comment on my blog!
