Fall Flowers

I had a most insightful conversation with a bride a few years ago. She told me she was able to find all of her reception flowers and flower decor at a much-reduced price by buying flowers from Wal-Mart that were at the end of their season (petunias etc. in late August).

As she put it: "They always put seasonal flowers on sale when the fall flowers arrive."

Great advice. If you are planning a late August or early September wedding, don't overlook the possibility of getting your flowers on the cheap. You can save hundreds.
