Fresh flowers are a beautiful thing but how do you go about getting them & not spending a fortune. Well first start with the container. You can get inexpensive containers about anywhere from garage sales, thrift stores, local craft stores but my favorite is the website for The Dollar Tree. See the image above & the link below to find vases to fit your event.

You can fill these beautiful (ONLY $1) vases with numerous flowers but sticking with keeping your budget low, your best bet is to pick flowers that are in season. We have shown a few above however see the link below for a year round list of what flowers are in season when.

There are numerous other ways you can become creative, such as add a drop of food coloring to your water to coordinate with your event, get rocks, fruit or other glass stones to help decorate your vases. But remember these are only for one night so try not to spend all of your money on these flowers. Carnations are always in season & inexpensive so here is a link to another great idea if you feel like being crafty.
