It is hard to imagine a wedding without some gorgeous flower decorations. And, which is why most of the décor budget goes into buying flowers. But, you can always be smart in picking them, by going for local and homegrown blossoms. There’s no denial to the fact that the Orchids, peonies and other exotic flowers look beautiful as a part of wedding decor, but so do Indian roses, jasmine, and marigolds. So, this wedding season opt for local flower decorations if you want to save big.
