Consider Artificial Flowers
January 2, 2010 | Author: Leslie, Bouquets
If your intention is to save as much as possible for your wedding day, have you considered using artificial flowers instead? This does pose several advantages compared to using fresh flowers, like the fact that they do not wilt or get stained. Another advantage is that artificial flowers are much lighter and the petals do not drop or get loose. Artificial flowers are also hypoallergenic and do not attract insects towards you. 
Of course, the final decision is still up to you. Or better yet, you can substitute artificial flowers in some decorations and use fresh ones for your corsage.
