• Purchasing greenery is usually lower in cost, causing it to reduce the floral budget down considerably, if your budget is tight you can decorate a lot more with greenery your theme arrangements.
• If you want to give your wedding a natural and whimsical atmosphere, try using hanging elements, such as garlands, wreaths or air plants.
