I notice there is a huge difference btween the bridal bouquet and the bridesmaids' flowers however I am on a budget. I noticed the florist mentioned it would be cheaper if everyone would have the same colors, is it really alright to do this or does it look to tacky ?

Dear Lady,

Normally the difference in the pricing of bridal bouquets and bridesmaids bouquets is size=more flowers. The color doesn't play into it unless you are using more expensive flowers. Yes they can be the same. Speak with your stylist about keeping the price minimal.

[;)It is YOUR wedding day...Get the flowers YOU LOVE for yourself...save the difference by trimming the attendants bouquets....I would rather see you get just what you want. Your friends will be just as happy carrying a perfect single rose or tiny but well executed nosegay. I often recommend this as one of the best places to trim costs.....On the other hand ...this is your only wedding bouquet....indulge...be happy and wishing you a beautiful wedding....flowersue
