Question: Using MOSTLY “filler flowers” in wedding. Also are Sam’s Club flowers good to use?
I remember coming across an article in some wedding magazine where brides made centerpieces & other wedding flowers out of loads of”filler flowers” put together. Things like carnations, baby’s breathe, and other flowers that could be bought in grocery stores were used. Do you have tips on doing this, or know of an article talking about this?? Or do you know of websites that could help? Thanks so much in advance! I am desperately trying to save money on my wedding flowers.

I think carnations are great and plan on using them as the primary flower in most of my bouquets.

You mentioned wanting to save money on your flowers. Have you considered using silk/artificial flowers? It is much more affordable and you can keep your bouquet. That is what we are doing for ALL of our flowers. 
Good Luck!
