First, what to avoid

Bouquet arrangements tend to be the most expensive type of bouquet, simply because they take a lot more time to complete. They�re also very heavy and you�ll get arm ache carrying it around for a few hours. It may also do some damage when you come to throw it at the end of the night!

Long cascading bouquets also tend to be very heavy and heavy, since there�s lots of flowers and greenery. They�ll also hide your beautiful dress, so it seems a bit silly to spend a fortune on a dress only for it to be hidden by some flowers.

The last thing to avoid is exotic flowers. It�s difficult to grown them locally, so you tend to have high transportation costs, which are then passed onto you.

It probably seems that your options are somewhat diminished. Not so. There are plenty of options available and here are my cheap bridal bouquet ideas.

Low cost bridal bouquet ideas

Hand tied bridal bouquets are usually half the price of arrangements. The florist selects the flowers, then arranges them together and ties them with floristry string or wire. A ribbon is then tied around the stems to protect the bride�s hands and finish the bouquet. Simple and effective.

You can use most flowers in a hand tied bridal bouquet, they�re versatile and more importantly, cheap.

Single stems can also be effective bridal flowers. Having a single stem is a dramatic look and works well with elegant, slinky dresses. You could have one stem, or even increase it to three stems tied together in a simple hand tied bouquet. Either way, it�s more cost effective as you use less flowers.

Lillies, roses and sunflowers looks great as single stems.

Go for flowers in-season as they�ll be fresher, grown locally and therefore cheaper. There are lots of blooms available all year round, so check what's in season around the time of your wedding with your florist.

An alternative is find stems with lots of flowers so you get more blooms for your buck. There are lots of flowers that can give you this effect, including lilies and hydrangea.
