Hi all im having another rant sorry! but my H2B keeps moaning at me saying we need to save and cut down on our wedding but when i suggest ways to save money he disagrees.
Im pretty artistic/crafty and i seen somewhere on saving money for the thank you flowers to our mums by buying flowers from a supermarket or at a market and making the bouquets myself as i have tissue paper and celophane to wrap them in already and so it'll be a fraction of the cost that we would get charged from the florists but no he wants to go with the expensive option.

i really like that idea. It will have the personal touch then. you can get some really nice flowers from supermarkets aswell. if he doesnt like that idea, maybe suggest flowers from some where like next or john lewis, they will be cheaper than a florist xx

What is his argument for the expensive option? I think it would be lovely personal touch to do it yourself, tis what I am doing. Xx

He just said we cant do that. I think he just wants his mum to have a bouqet of flowers from a florist????? He's an idiot lol

Only problem with that is getting to the supermarket as i live in the middle of no where and we only have the one car cos im currently on maternity leave and he takes the car to go off to work so if i do go get flowers once he's home he's gonna see them when i get back so its not like i can suprise him when he comes home

Could you make them up at a friends house? perhaps? Just until you've finished them to show him. Xxx

you have 16 months to practice they would look very proff after lat amount of time pic the ones you like and do it with supermarket flowers every week until the wedding you will see how great they will be by the wedding!! you will convince him.

lol i love having flowers in my house so id want to take them home so he'd know also he'd see from my bank account as we both have access to each others internet banking to pay our bills

Im gonna mention it again to him and see what he says

Emsy5000 could u please post the link for the warehouse on my wall pretty please?!
Sorry to butt in!

we have the same problem, funds are very low and still got lots to pay, so we have decided that the centre pieces, which are going to be white and burgundy roses with lilies and greemry etc.. which are silk are going to double up as thank u gifts for my mum, my nan, mil2b and his nan, all the women that have put money towards the wedding, that then leaves us with 2 to keep. all in all the centre piece are costing £35 each, which i think is good as that also inculdeds the tall lily vases, all the cyrstals to fill them and the mirrors that they are going to be standing on (for the day) then i can gice the flowers part as a thank u gift win win xx

i have that issue although once my man has proposed I am hoping that Rob's mum and dad will contribute a little knowing how hard we will have to work and how difficult it will be for me and rob to do it all by ourselves. Plus my mum is helping me with my dress and that is too much to ask her really as she has very little money but she offered and has been saving like mad! We'll soon see x

get quotes for the expensive option he wants, then show him those quotes compared to if you make them yourself, usually showing men an actual price scares them enough into going with your option :)

Thats a great idea lol i never thought of that lol thanks

My h2b didnt want me to buy a bouquet from anyone except a florist even if i could make it better and i know i could make it cheaper
