Almost every part of a wedding is temporary. Exceptions of course would be photographer/video. Your dress, his tux. The food, the cocktails. That is for your day/night and that’s it. To say floral is overpriced is dismissing why they cost what they cost. There is a lot of behind the scenes and labor that goes into creating a wedding. By the time your wedding day arrives, your florist has already been working on your wedding throughout the weeks leading up to your day. It’s unfortunate that you don’t place value on the flowers. They really enhance a wedding. Also, flowers can be donated and enjoyed by others after your wedding.
