Except for
1-When organizing the wedding, we spared no expense, except for flowers.
2-When organizing the wedding, we spared no expense, except on flowers.
Are both these sentences correct?
Does "1" mean we bought no flowers? We spent nothing on flowers?
Does "2" mean we spared expenses when it came to buying flowers?
Gratefully,

Both are OK. I prefer #1. Very broadly speaking, they mean that we spent a lot of money on the wedding but little or no money on flowers.
