Any good florist will be able to tell you that. I know carnations, roses, and most greens (ferns, ivy, baby's breath) are always in season. I would go with carnations, very inexpensive and can be turned any color you want

First of all, buy a dress on sale.  Also, get married in a church. The flowers should be simple. Shop around for bargains.  Instead of a large sit down meal, do a cake and punch reception. You can get a cake from Albertson's or Stater Brothers. They will do an excellent job for a low price.  We had musician friends play at the reception and a friend agreed to MC.  Keep it simple, but elegant.

First pick a day! then find you Pastor,Justice of the pease,Who ever you are going to have Marry you! That is usually the hardest part to get set.Make sure they are available the day that you want. Marrige license tend to expire within 60 days I think so figure that into the day you have set with your "Pastor".Week days are cheeper if your going for an inside wedding/reception.Out side is even cheeper. We did out side.Do you have or want a theme? Example: Hawaiian Theme go to Oriental Trading on line,it is a part/novelty company they have tons of party supplys in bulk. Based on you theme/ colors what kind of dress. In our wedding that was the most expencive.My bride's maids agreed to buy there own dresses,they actually had fun picking out matching dresses. We bought shirts for the Grooms men (We Know Guys)If you want it done right do it your self. and who knows what they would have came back with! any way...\nCake I did my own cake. 3 teirs white and chocolate. White frosting.My frosting recipe(feel lucky!) Mix powdered sugar and unsalted butter and only a table spoon of vanilla with about a cup of milk.Awsome frosting!The rest could be purchased at a rental place near you based on how much you are ready to spend. A big rental place is usually good about helping with number of guests and how far you can go on your budget. This is all if you choose to do an out doors wedding.\nHopefully I have been helpful. If you need any more advice e-mail me brudneyflower@yahoo.com

Here are a couple cute ideas all under $2. or you could check out some other sites for other ideas. The dollar stores are your best bet. They usually have nice stuff that can be dressed up cheap. Since it's summer a package of flower seeds in some tulle(wedding colors) in a mini flower pot would be cute, classy and inexpensive.

My husband and I were in a similar situation and we had a very nice wedding for cheap.  Your best bet...do it yourself.  We had the reception at my parents house.  40 people in the basement and living room and it was great.  everyone had so much fun and it was very memorable because it was once of a kind.  my mom did the food all herself and we got some KFC chicken because my husband is supervisor there.  If you decide to do the food yourself you can contact me through this site and i could give you some ideas and tips no problem.  i got my dress on sale at a bridal shop because the style was no longer made.  it was only $500 (with cleaning, steaming and alterations) marked down from $1000.  There are also alot of prom and brides maid dresses that resemble wedding gowns that you could go for as well.  a plain wedding band can be as little as like $100, then later on in life you can renew vows and give a different ring(thats what we ae doing) and you can make alot of decorations and favours and flowers yourself or get them cheap from like a dollar store.  we got balloons and streamers in pink and silver for the decorations from the dollar store.  under $50 to decorate and you'd never tell we spent so little.  keep the guests minimum and that way you could do an open bar too.  for the 40 guests we bought 5 cases of beer, bottle of vodka, rum and rye and some wine.  it was plenty and everyone was happy not to have to pay for booze.  it was great and such a wonderful day.  we got married a a wedding chapel for like $250, but you could look into doing a ceremony at your home or something for cheap too.  just keep in mind everything that needs to be done can most likey be done yourself for half the price.  dont give up and dont wait if this is what you want to do.  its no impossible and trust me, if you love him that much, its a day you'll never forget.  also remember, you can always renew vows some day and do it the way you want when you have money.  thats my plan. small the first time, then big party when we renew.  best of luck to you.

Congrats! You can by rose petals at the flower shop, but I would only put them around the tub not in it.  Go to bath and body shop.  They have great ideas. Good luck, but I am sure you both will be happy with being married.

It's absolutely possible to plan a wedding in 10 months.  I planned mine in 11 months from across the continent!  We invited around 150 people.  Make sure you look into a photographer 1st and then book the reception site and church.  Since you're having an October wedding, you should be fine with availability.  Ours is in Jan, and we've found that most vendors (florists, caterers, etc...) aren't booked up in the "off-season" like they would be April-September.  Websites like www.wedding channel.com and www.theknot.com are very helpful in planning and budgeting.  Good luck and have fun!!

My husband and I got married in Greece last September.  It was amazing and surprisingly much cheaper than getting married in the US.  I highly recommend it.  There are websites that can help you.

On flowers: I always dreamed of having white tulips. When I started looking at prices I got scared. My wedding is in July so that was just out of the question. Then I found this place online that ships tulips from the Netherlands. They were also so much cheaper than anywhere else. www.growingtulips.com

I would start with a budget. There are a ton of sites out there (theknot.com probably being the most popular) that offer budget planners. Figure out what is important to you...you should get to spoil yourself just a little on your wedding day! \n\nAlso dont be afraid to ask friends and family with special skills if they wouldnt mind lending a hand. For example, my brothers girlfriend's sister went to culinary school, Ive only met her a few times, but she is happy to make my cake (more as a favor to her sisters boyfriend, but Ill take what I can get!) \n\nI just made my hopefully all-inclusive budget, here are the things I included:\n\nReception Dinner - if you have it at a relatives house or hall, you might be able to have family prepare the meals and save money on the site and food costs.\n\nReception Alcohol- limit it to beer and wine and see if you can provide the alcohol yourself if you have it at a restaurant or inn.\n\nRehearsal dinner- try bbq or pot luck\n\nwedding rings\n\ndress, alterations, & accessories- try a consignment shop, or if youre a size 6ish try sample gown sales.\n\nphotography- try posting bulletins at local colleges for photography majors and ask to see their portfolios\n\nDJ- I have heard people hooking ipods up to stereo systems, although I dont know how well that would work\n\nInvitations- you can get pretty basic ones from target/walmart/kmart/etc for cheap that arent bad\n\ncake- have a small one for show, and buy sheet cake from a grocery store to serve\n\nCake Accessories- you can register for the cake topper and knives and hope to get them for your bridal shower, or use your parents or grandparents and they will have added meaning!\n\nwedding party gifts\n\ncenterpieces- Im thinking of ordering bulk flowers from sams club or costco, and getting a friend to take care of it to cut costs\n\ntransportation- if a family member has a nice car opt for that over the ridiculously priced limo\n\ngrooms attire- go for a suit over a tux\n\nHoney Moon- go somewhere close enough to drive to\n\nmarriage license- usually around $50\n\nwedding favors- these are optional any way, but if you want to have them donate a small amount to charity and let the guests know that you have made a donation to charity in their names in leiu of a wedding favor (no one has to know how much, and Im sure you local fire dept or animal shelter would appreciate even a $50-100 donation)\n\npostage- for save the dates (optional), invites, rsvp, and thank you (you may be able to cut costs by asking guests to rsvp online)\n\ninsurance- YES YOU NEED THIS! if someone gets into an accident after driving home drunk from your wedding guess who they will sue! everyone! the bartender, the restaurant, and you! plus, its good if something unexpected happens, i.e. the electricity goes out at the reception site, etc. its only about $100, see if you can get it through your home owners policy, or look online, Im sure there are sites.\n\nHope that's helpful and not overwhelming! Good luck and congratulations!

I'm voting against everyone here. Green should be for accents ONLY (as in lemon leaf, tree fern, ect...). Go for darker colors. Ideally a medium pink and a darker pink (in moderation)mixed with your lighter pink and of course bridal whites. Make sure the whites are pure whites not off color whites. They cost a little more but are worth it. Star gazer lillies are also a great option and summer flower! Not to mention a terrific smell. When open they have a gradation from dark pink in the middle to white on the outside. You could also use your filler to punch up the color. There are lots of varieties of berries and small flowers that could add to a simple light pink. It will all just depend on how much money you have to spend in your flower budget.
