After Kevin and I became engaged and I started wedding planning, I had the startling revelation (like many brides before me) that weddings are...expensive. Big surprise there, right? Whether you're planning a wedding or not, most of us know that the average wedding isn't cheap, and even the smallest elements of your day can cost you a pretty penny if you aren't careful. When I started budgeting out our wedding, I knew right away what things I wanted to spend money on and what things I didn't. One thing that I didn't want to splurge on were flowers. Don't get me wrong, fresh flower bouquets are gorgeous....but they also cost a LOT of money, and as I mentioned in previous posts I felt like putting most of our budget toward the venue and band instead.
