- How to get the most out of your flower budget
How to get the most out of your flower budget If you're looking to make the most out of your flower budget, there are several tips and tricks you can use to get the most bang for your buck. Here are our top suggestions: Shop in season : Flowers that are in season are generally less expensive and easier to find. Do some research on what flowers are in season during the time you need them and choose those, or be directed by your florist, have a concept in mind and let them direct you to the best flower choices to match your concept. Don't overlook foliage : Adding foliage to your floral arrangements can help fill them out and make them look fuller. Look for inexpensive greenery options like eucalyptus or Italian ruscus. Consider non-traditional flowers : Instead of going for the classic roses or lilies, consider using non-traditional flowers like wildflowers or succulents. These can often be less expensive and add a unique touch to your arrangements. Use flowers as dual-purpose decor : If you're using flowers at your ceremony, for example an arbor piece, consider using those flowers as reception decor as well. Assign someone the job of moving your flowers from the ceremony to the reception Repurpose flowers : After your wedding day, gift your flowers to the Mother of the Groom, Mother of the Bride and other significant guests as a special gift or dry them out for a long-lasting display in your home. Shop around and do your research : Don't be afraid to compare prices at different florists. Do not ask florists to compete against others' quotes, but don't be afraid to do your research, compare the pricing and make your own decisions. Make your own bouquets : maybe your florist of choice offers a Bridal Bouquet Arranging workshop, like The Real Florist Bouquet Class. Gather your bride tribe, break open the bubbly and be guided by a qualified florist to create your own bridal bouquet. Ready to talk all things wedding, budget and flowers - get in touch today to meet with The Real Florist Wedding Consultant.

- Embrace the Upcoming Event Season with The Real Florist: Why Flowers Are a Must-Have
As the event season approaches, it's time to start thinking about how to make your gatherings truly unforgettable. Whether you're planning a wedding, corporate function, birthday celebration, or any other special occasion, incorporating flowers into your event can transform it from ordinary to extraordinary. At The Real Florist, we're here to share why flowers should be a key element in your event planning and how they can elevate your experience. 1. Set the Perfect Ambiance Flowers have an incredible ability to set the mood and create a welcoming atmosphere. From the soft elegance of roses to the vibrant energy of sunflowers, each bloom can evoke different emotions and themes. Imagine walking into a venue adorned with lush floral arrangements that perfectly complement your event's theme—it's an experience that will leave a lasting impression on your guests. 2. Personalize Your Event One of the most exciting aspects of floral design is the ability to tailor arrangements to reflect your personal style and preferences. At The Real Florist, we work closely with you to understand your vision and create custom arrangements that align with your event’s theme, colors, and overall vibe. Personal touches like bespoke floral centerpieces or customized bouquets can make your event uniquely yours. 3. Enhance Photographic Moments Flowers are not just a visual delight; they also play a significant role in photography. Beautiful floral arrangements provide stunning backdrops and focal points, enhancing the visual appeal of your event photos. Whether it's a bouquet for the bride, a centerpiece for the dinner table, or floral decorations for the venue, flowers can make your memories even more special. 4. Freshen Up the Space A well-chosen selection of flowers can bring freshness and vitality to any event space. They add a natural element that contrasts beautifully with modern decor and can even help to mask any less desirable odors (carpet after a few too many dance floors spills). Fresh flowers create a sense of renewal and can make any venue feel more inviting and vibrant. 5. Create a Sensory Experience Flowers are not only visually stunning but also aromatic. The gentle fragrance of fresh blooms can enhance the sensory experience of your event, adding another layer of enjoyment for your guests. Imagine a venue filled with the delicate scent of lilies or the sweet aroma of peonies—it's an experience that goes beyond the visual. 6. Symbolize Meaningful Moments Different flowers have various meanings and symbolisms, and incorporating them into your event can add a layer of significance. From symbolizing love and passion with red roses to representing new beginnings with lilies, flowers can convey messages and sentiments that resonate deeply with you and your guests.
