budget silk wedding flowers
Utilizing silk flowers for your wedding can not only save you money, but time and hassles as well. Selections can be made months in advance of your wedding day, and colors can be matched beforehand. Florists cannot ensure exact color matches of live blooms as these are subject to availability and other factors. What you see is what you get with silk flowers. There is none of the variance in size and shape that Mother Nature is prone to exhibit. An added bonus is that flower arrangements and displays can be made up weeks ahead of schedule, avoiding any last minute mix-ups and headaches.

world top hawaii state flowers
Well, to be more specific, the yellow hibiscus is the state flower of Hawaii and has been since June 6, 1988. The above photograph is one of a pink hibiscus (rosa sinensis). Tropical hibiscus originated in Asia and the Pacific Islands, and happens to be the national flower of Malaysia.
Tropical hibiscus shrubs are very easy to grow as they prefer the sun and enjoy warmer temperatures. In fact, you can practically see them growing in every other yard on a block.

best desighn origami flower
The top flower is made from a red-on-red toned gift wrap paper purchased at The Container Store. (They put out their holiday wrap nice and early!) Their gift wrap is generally very sturdy and can hold up to folding and handling. But even this paper wore down quickly around the folded edges, and the result was rough-looking white spots along the edges. I decided to color the outside folded edges with gold to camouflage the wear and tear. It turned out to be a nice effect, I think! I'm using a metallic gold ink pad -- I just run the edges of the paper across the pad before the final folding stage. (It does require a little drying time.) I also decided not to worry about the white side of the paper showing along the fold in the petals. I figure it compliments the red and gold.
The red flower on the left is made from a sturdy scrapbooking paper purchased at Michael's. It has a subtle texture of starburst shapes. The paper is a dull red-orange color, so I thought I wouldn't be able to use it. But my fiance suggested I try coating these particular flowers with a gloss finishing spray -- low and behold, the result is dark red flowers with a subtle shine to them! Perfect! The texture shows up better with the gloss finish, too. This paper is red on both sides, another great quality for origami.
The third, small flower is made from ivory wedding gift wrap paper from The Container Store -- it has a nice subtle decorative pattern. This paper has been the most successful for this origami project because 1) it's quite sturdy and holds up to folding, 2) it holds it shape really well when curled (such as the petal areas), and 3) the light color camouflages any wear along the edges (and there isn't much!).

the top and beautiful valentine flowers
One of the most likely candidates is a Saint Valentine who lived in Rome in the third century. Apparently the emperer Claudius concluded that single men made better soldiers than married men (since they didn’t have wives and families to worry about) so Claudius decreed that young single men could not marry. Apparently, St. Valentine objected to this dramatic pronouncement, and continued to marry young lovers in secret, until he was found out and executed.
In any case, the day became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished, and it has been carried on ever since, into modern day practice.
The day is most closely associated with the mutual exchange of love notes in the form of "Valentines". Modern Valentine symbols include the heart-shaped outline and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten notes have largely given way to mass-produced greeting cards. The mid-nineteenth century Valentine’s Day trade was a harbinger of further commercialized holidays in the United States to follow. The U.S. Greeting Card Association estimates that about one billion valentines are sent each year worldwide, making the day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year second only to Christmas. The association estimates that women purchase about 85 percent of all valentines cards sold.

For starters, buying silk flowers rather than real flowers will save you quite a bit of money. This is especially true if you plan to use flowers that aren't in season. Real flowers that are out of season will cost a lot more than normal. With silk flowers, you can be assured that you can use any type of flower that you want without worrying about whether or not it is in season.
If you absolutely must use real flowers for whatever reason, purchasing them from a local grocery store or wholesale store such as Sam's Club is a great option. These places usually get a discount on flowers to begin with and if you are ordering a large quantity, they will be fairly flexible with passing the savings along to you. This option is great for the do it yourself brides who will be arranging the flowers themselves.
When going with silk flowers, finding a wholesaler in your area is probably the best option. Some of these places will require the purchaser to have a seller's permit in order to make purchases. If you know someone with a seller's permit and they are willing to go along with you, these places are probably the cheapest alternative. They will generally carry flowers associated with the specific upcoming season, but will also carry limited amounts of other flowers as well.
Buying direct from companies is also a great way to get flowers for a lower price. Some companies will not deal directly with consumers, but some will. You simply need to do a little research. If you can find a company that is willing to ship the flowers directly to you and cut out the middle man, your overall price will likely be cheaper even though you will be paying shipping. You won't have to deal with the mark up that a retailer might have.
If you are not handy with making floral arrangements, find someone that you know that is. They don't have to be a professional or even to have done it before, but if you can find someone who has an eye for colors and who would enjoy doing the work for you, that will also save you some money. And chances are, no one will know the difference.
So whether you have a budget of $100 for flowers or $1000, there are ways to cut down without making things look like it. Shop around for silk flowers that look the most real and if you really strongly desire the real thing, check out grocery stores and retail stores to see who can get you the best deal. Silk flowers will also give you a wider variety of flowers to choose from without breaking the bank
