My favourite flowers are Lillies but as we have had to cut back on expense we can no longer afford Lillies! I like Gerberas but im unsure!!!??? Please help! ;o)

What colour are you thinking of? Also have you looked at silk? They're cheaper so you may be able to have lilies.

Silk lillies? You could have lillies if you bough them from tesco and put them together yourself, I did a bouquet and a button hole for my friends wedding and bought 2 bunches of tulips from tesco, wires and tape from the florist and ribbon from boyes, it cost less than a tenner to make both, there is a pic on my page wth the cake photos.

Have you thought of a selection of wild flowers...sweet peas, heathers etc think they are lovely for a wedding and imagine they would be a cheaper option! Not having flowers myself, Im big time into greenery and going down that route instead as well as having a brooch bouquet! Not very knowledgable Im afraid in this department xx

I'm having pink gerberas, they are really popular at weddings now, they come in loads of gorgeous colours and don't think they are that pricey. Try google the name if you're unsure what they look like x
CommentAuthorDan and Lisa :o)
I love gerberas! Would have to go with cream tho! x

hi, girls - if you are desperate for lillies why not speak to your florist and ask them if its possible and how much it would cost, if it is too much why not hav both flowers together - just have a few lillies and mainly gerberas - that way you are comprimising, still getting what you want, and getting better value for money!! have a look! love mrs bouquets xx
