This is HANDS DOWN, the most helpful video on wedding decor (specifically floral) I have seen this far! You just saved my wedding budget!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for this video!!! I just discovered Costco florals yesterday and have been Uber excited and also leery. Your video was exactly what I needed to confirm my goal of budget florals. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
Such a great video! Thank you for the clarity and transparency. So many people (myself included) often overlook the cost of candle holders. 💁🏻♀️ Super useful guide.
Wow if I would have known I would have gone with natural flowers I thought it would be more expensive being that I also wanted Garland's I ended up doing artificial still beautiful but cost way more definitely on my next event will be using those garlands and Costco flowers thank you for the information it was very helpful
love this!! Thank you :) Would you mind also sharing a little more about the different styles of candles and also the arrangement of the garlands and candles?
Hi Tricia, thanks for your comment. All the candles and candle holders including their sizes and prices are listed in the description. The candle holders were basically placed alternating between sizes on the table and integrated into the garland. I didn't mention this, but all the candle holders on the mantle that are the mercury-glass-types are actually from TJ Maxx, and they were $5 each :). Good luck with your planning.
Hi! Thank you SO much for this video. It is incredibly helpful! I am also getting my bouquet from H‑E‑B but there quote for table arrangements was a little to much for my budget. The tables at my venue are circle... do you think I can cut the 6 ft strands in half with sharp garden shears and zip tie them into circles? I am worried the strands may not bend well into a circle shape? I am looking forward to hearing your advice! I know Costco sells circle ones but they only have a 3.5” hole for a candle and I have a bigger candle arrangement from my venue
Hi Amanda! Unfortunately, the garlands are made of branches, not vines, so you won't be able to mold them into circles. I didn't realize the Costco ones were that small.... You might also consider getting fake ones. They make a lot of very realistic-looking ones at Hobby Lobby/Michaels. I had circular candle arrangements which I paid the venue for in the center of my round tables, too. I bought two orders of Costco flower petals and had them scattered all around the centerpieces. It was a very cost-effective way of making the centerpieces look lush and romantic, but kept costs down. ;)
@@amandabeaver7157 What did you end up doing for your center pieces. I had the same thought of molding them into circles; I am so happy I watched this video and read the comments..... I would really like to have a lush looking garland to surround my floating candles.
When you say trim the flowers did you cut the stems so she just had to pop them in, or did you keep them in water and she cut them off when creating the look? May I ask what you spent on your wedding party flowers from the grocery florist? I'm probably going to do our sweetheart table and cake flowers, but I have a florist currently for wedding party and centerpieces. You are correct. Not cheap!
Hi Gina, I cut the stems, put them into water in a bucket, then brought the bucket of flowers to the coordinator. I gave the florist a $1200 budget, which includes two large ceremony arrangements and an sign-in table arrangement. I had my baker who makes reeeeeeeeeally pretty sugar flowers do that instead of dealing with the hassle of getting fresh flowers to the baker. It might be worth looking into. Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much for this video! I'm thinking of ordering the Costco garlands but they are a bit thicker and bushier than I'd like - do you think they could be easily pulled apart into a few thinner garlands for long table runners?
