I really didn't want many flowers, for several reasons.
1) The cost of flowers adds up QUICKLY. The only flowers we had inside at the reception were an arrangement on the buffet table, and the bridesmaids bouquets in vases on our head table. Other than that, no other flowers, and I don't even think they were missed!
2) I've never been a huge flower person. That being said, I didn't want to "waste" money on something that I wouldn't enjoy, and only get it because it was expected. I know, weird.
