| Answers: Did YOU, or do you know anyone, who made their own wedding bouquets? I am a frugal bride. I am planning (or at least WAS) to make my own centerpieces and bouquets. My FMIL (who is not financially contributing to the wedding <--that bit is significant b/c I wonder how it impacts how far I should consider her opinions) keeps mentioning that I need to secure a florist for our bouquets (the wedding is in Nov 10) She knows that I was planning on a DIY situation, yet continues to insist I need a florist, to at least arrange the bouquets. My original idea was to have the bridesmaids hold 4 large hydrangea stems wrapped in ribbon (when I came up with the idea I premade one, and loved the look), and myself a bouquet of ivory hydrangeas and ivory roses. Simple enough right? 1. Does she know best because shes been a bride, and has a daughter whose wedding she helped coordinate, or 2. Should I go my route and save hundreds doing them myself, buying floweres thru a close friend who is a wholesale floral supplier (NOT florist, as she does not make arrangements but rather distributes the flowers to wholesale clubs etc.) help! |
| Yes, I know a few people that have made their own wedding bouquets. It can be really simple and effective when making your own. Try a simple bunch of long-stemmed roses, or long-stemmed lilies, tied with a wide shiny silk ribbon, in a colour to match the bride's dress. Red roses, with a cream silk ribbon are stunning, and white lilies with a coloured ribbon would be just as effective. Just make sure you take all the thorns off the rose stems. Tie them up tightly with string or wire to secure and place the ribbon over. |
