The holiday season is fully upon us, and it can be an expensive time of year. The budget doesn’t always extend to fresh flowers as decorations, but there are options to affordably allow you fresh floral arrangements for gifts or centerpieces. The following three tips will help you get professional floral designs that match your budget this holiday season.
Recycle old vases
Many florists, including us, offer discounts on bouquets when you bring in a vase. We can fill it up to your desired value. You can also bring in vases that you no longer want and we can swap them in to use for every day orders.
Use a variety of economical flowers
While some flowers are definitely more extravagant and ornamental than others, you don’t need a whole vase full to create a fabulous holiday look. Using a couple of extravagant stems combined with more economical flowers such as carnations, daisies, alstroemerias, chrysanthemums, spray roses instead of roses, lilies, hydrangeas, ranunculus, or tulips will create the stunning bouquet or centerpiece your occasion needs.
Use seasonal blooms
Seasonal flowers are another way to save money on bouquets and centerpieces during the holidays. While a lot of people like peonies, their season is mainly May to July making off season purchases smaller blooms at several times the in-season price. In central Florida, we might consider delphinium, snapdragon, dianthus, calendula, or pansies.
