How about a wedding bouquet with that hot dog and mustard?

An enterprising wiener vendor has been serving up fake flowers to soon-to-be wedded couples in lower Manhattan.

Kohnoor Begum, 49, of Queens, began peddling the bridal bouquets last week after her hot-dog sales sank.

“Business is very slow,” said Begum, who has been hawking dogs with her daughter outside Manhattan’s Marriage Bureau on Worth Street for five years. “We need to make more money.”

Ill-equipped brides hunting for a cheap, no-frills accessory can’t miss the stand’s flower power. Colorful artificial bouquets adorn a makeshift display near the food cart, where the mom-daughter team aggressively approach prospective buyers.

Blushing bride Jeleinnie Gonzalez was one of the first customers, snagging a pink and white bouquet and a free boutonniere for her beau, Eric Gonzalez, 23, who also gobbled up a hot dog.

“It’s pretty cool. She’s selling flowers and hot dogs,” Eric said.

“I don’t think you could find this in any other city.”
