Helping Budget-Conscious Brides Choose Flowers
Wholesale Silk And Artifical Flowers
Wedding planners are not psychologists. They are not relationship mediators, nor are they experts regarding family dynamics. If you are a wedding planner, you may often feel like clients expect you to sort out all of their issues; wedding related and not. As a wedding planner, you job is to help the bride and groom plan a special day while helping them save money. One of the greatest costs that engaged couples face when planning a wedding is floral costs. This article touches on ways that you can provide your clients with cost-effective solutions for silk flowers that are timeless and beautiful all while adhering to budgetary concerns.
Silk flowers versus Natural
Brides should never underestimate the affect flowers can have on a wedding ceremony. Floral choices can be the difference between a minimalist wedding and a tropical paradise. In order to create the perfect floral backdrop for their wedding, brides often contemplate the types of flower arrangements they will purchase. As a wedding planner, you also know the choice between silk flowers and natural floral arrangements are a matter of personal preference, but are almost always influenced by a bride’s budget. The majority of brides have a limited amount of money to spend on wedding flowers – and, if we are being honest that is most average women, unless they are a Kardashian. So for most brides it makes financial sense to choose fake flowers.
If you are planning a wedding for a budget-conscious couple it is your job to discount misconceptions brides may have regarding fake flowers. Some brides believe silk flowers are inferior to natural flowers; therefore, the price will always be right on track with their budget. Of course, you know this isn’t true. But what do you do when you have a bride who is insistent on filling every possible space of her reception venue with flowers? The best option in cases like these is to consider wholesale artificial flowers.
Wholesale Wedding Magic
One of the perks of being a wedding planner is the relationships you build and maintain with some of the premier wedding suppliers. This includes relationships that you have established with suppliers that offer wholesale artificial flowers. Buying in bulk from these companies provides budget-conscious brides with the opportunity to purchase flowers in quantities that may have normally been out of their budget had they bought from a retail location. However, as the wedding planner the magic of wholesale works to your advantage to. The convenience of ordering from one location is priceless. Also, because wholesale retailers that sell silk flowers require you to buy in bulk you will, ultimately, save your clients a fortune.
Of course, there are some downsides to buying wholesale artificial flowers – there are always negatives to any situation, right? One complaint is that since you have to buy in bulk you may be limited on your color selection. However, many wholesalers are willing to work with planners and brides, alike to come up with a solution that benefits all parties.
So, for all you wedding planners out there, you may be limited on the types of issues you can solve; but, when it comes to choosing silk flowers to fit your clients’ budgets you will always have the best advice to offer.
