3 Ways to Cut Cost on Wedding Flowers

by: Michael Ferrell

With all the things you?ll have to worry about paying for when it comes to your wedding, you won?t want to have to spend a lot of cash for slightly smaller things, like accents, decorations, and flower arrangements. Since most brides do want to have flowers at their weddings, and would prefer to purchase them at a reasonable price, here are some ways to save on wedding flowers that you may want to try:

Buy synthetic flowers.

Synthetic flowers may cost a little more when you buy them in bulk because of the material, but they could save you money because they last as long as you need them to. Many people have fresh flower bouquets for the bride, bridesmaids, and flower girls, and these tend to whither rather quickly, especially if the ceremony is indoors.
So, you may end up buying more flowers than you actually need in order to keep the flowers looking good for pictures after the ceremony. You can also find colors or types of flowers that may not be in bloom at the time you are having the wedding if you buy synthetic flowers. This way, you?ll have more freedom to create the look you want for your ceremony.
If you want to decorate the reception with flowers as well, synthetic flowers may be a good idea, so that you can maintain the look of the room for as long as you need to. And, since most brides want to keep their bouquets, buying synthetic flowers is definitely a good idea.

Plan your bouquet size.

Many brides end up spending more than they wanted to on a bouquet because they didn?t count the amount of flowers that would be in the arrangement, or select flowers that will look good with not-so-expensive accents. Make sure you know just how big you want your bouquet to be, as well as what type of flowers you want to include. And, carrying a single flower down the aisle is wonderful look for a bride as well. You can use a lily, daisy, or even a rose with lace or pearl accents as your bouquet, and add a unique touch to the ceremony. Small bunches of flowers can also be beautiful, proving that, as with most other things, less can definitely be more. If you want to get fresh flowers for your bouquet, selecting flowers that are in season will also help you to save money, since a florist may have to specially order out-of-season flowers, which can increase the bouquet price significantly.

Plan ahead.

Even though flowers for the wedding may seem like a small thing, don?t wait until the last minute to make sure that you have the flowers you want for your wedding. You may have to spend more money to find flowers you want the closer you get to the ceremony, so make sure that you have decided whether or not you?ll purchase flowers from a local florist or order synthetic flowers.

Even Jessica Simpson Gets Flowers

Even Jessica Simpson Gets Flowers

by: Wesley Berry

Sometimes superstars like Jessica Simpson seem so far removed from our world that we forget they also enjoy some of the simpler pleasures in life, like flowers. In fact, it would seem that celebrities send flowers for many of the same occasions and situations we "regular folks" do.

One occasion we know Jessica Simpson received flowers for was as an apology for potentially hurtful remarks made in jest by comedian George Lopez at this year's People's Choice Awards. The awards took place just weeks after Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey announced their pending divorce to the world. Lopez, who was apparently unaware that the awards show was Simpson's first appearance since the announcement, made this crack during an introduction: "The producers want to apologize to Nick Lachey, who could not be here because they didn't need any more seat fillers." Simpson was visibly embarrassed and uncomfortable...

God Bless The Refrigerator Magnet!

God Bless The Refrigerator Magnet!

by: Kirk Otto

Ah, my very favorite promotional product of all, the refrigerator magnet.
They are my favorite, because they are so extremely inexpensive, and extremely effective in getting your company name seen in countless locations.

They don?t make the greatest commission for a salesman of advertising specialties, but I can?t stop myself from recommending these little beauties first and foremost to my new customers and prospects.
And the reason is so simple.
They WORK!
I?ve yet to approach anyone in any kind of business where I don?t feel that a refrigerator magnet will be effective advertising.
Granted, some are more suited than others, but I still maintain that they?d be of use to any business.

Domino's Pizza is notorious for giving out a magnet with deliveries that includes their logo and the phone number of the local store.
I worked for Domino?s...

Take Your Radio Ads to the Next Level

by: BIG Mike McDaniel

Most small businesses do not have a high powered advertising agency to produce award-winning radio commercials for them. Most award-winning radio commercials win for the wrong reasons anyway.

Radio commercials should sell the benefits (not features)of your business/product and should be on the same page with print, TV and billboard. A major problem in business advertising today is the lack of...
