You can make carnations look like peonies (REALLY expensive) by wiring 4-6 of them together.
You could also order your flowers offline?
Have you ever thought about
http://www.fiftyflowers.com
The have a package 200 roses for 209 dollars.
Also there is a website with an even better deal
http://flowersandfreshness.com.....p?cPath=21
They offer 200 roses for 169.
Also, there is a new wedding trend of just doing baby's breath arrangement. This can be pretty if done aptly and your wedding has the appropiate theme… other wise it just looks cheap.

Other cheap things you could use is fruit… or you could get some vases fill them with water and fill them with a few stems of a touch slightly more expensive.

Make it your own.
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.
Excellent Luck!
question your friends who are gardeners……….they are usually pleased to share……..things are blooming like crazy aptly now. find out what your regions flowers are and use them…….if you're in the south, find some gardenia bushes……they have gorgeous foliage and blooms……place them in glass bowls…….if you're from the northeast like I am then go for the evergreen hedges and place them in dishes with a few carnations or daisys clipped small spaced out thru the bowl…..reckon outside the box and start looking around in yards.. most people who will be at your wedding would be pleased to help in some way, so delegate, maybe they have a friend or relative who has flowerbeds……. most of all, relax and delight in this gorgeous time! excellent luck to you and may God bless your marriage!
"filler flowers" are flowers that "fill" a bqt. some are nice some are cheap looking. I myself…HATE babies breath. Are you talking about using them in your bqt. or on the tables?
If your doing this to add to your bqt., DON'T!!! Do simple, classic. Dz. white roses, hand tied w/ small grass.
If you need a touch for your tables to be inexpensive… do a nice 6" flowering plant in a basket w/o handle w/ moss.
(plants like…indoor azaleas, begonias, mini rose etc.)
excellent luck
I always say that hydrangeas are the best flower, hands down! They come in huge bunches, gorgeous colors, and have very sturdy stems.
It depends on how many of these filler flowers you're going to want, but there's a site that I'm going to use for my wedding flowers (I'm making the bouquets and centerpieces to cut the cost). They have a lot of different flowers in different colors and are pretty cheap.

And they sell by the case or the bunch, so you can choose how many you want.
As far as doing it, I would just look at the preparations and see where a flower or two could be used. It all depends on the flowers that you're using as your main. Roses and Carnations work well together, as well as Lillies and Roses, Daisies and Carnations.

This might help. I would quest Google and try to find some thoughts on how to arrange flowers then work from there.
