Ruffled

Being a bride on a budget I acknowledge that I have to cut back here in order to spend there.  For me that means focusing on the things I love best.  I love handmade items, photography and my venue.  I am totally ok with the cut backs I have to make in order to make our day special.  There is only one exception to that… Flowers. 

I love flowers and would love to have flowers everywhere on the day of our wedding, but alas, my style of flowers does not agree with my pocket book   Now don’t get me wrong, I love my plan to make the handmade, fabric/ribbon bouquets for me and my bridesmaids, but that doesn’t stop me from looking at images like these:

Cascading Bouquet

 

I love ranunculus bouquets.  I think they are whimsical, vintage and graceful.  What are you cutting back on to save on your budget?
