Do It Yourself Wedding Bouquet

Making a do it yourself wedding bouquet and other flower arrangements can be helpful in keeping your wedding expenses down. Bridal flowers are expensive, especially when a florist is doing all of the work.

Crafty brides are making their own silk arrangements to carry and/or throw and they are saving a ton of money, too. If you choose to make your own silk flower arrangements, you can put them together in advance and store them in plastic bins to keep them dust-free and to avoid the flowers getting smashed.

Most brides still carry fresh flowers. They are so beautiful and most smell wonderful.

Are you making your own bouquet or flower arrangements for the wedding/reception? Are you using silk or fresh flowers?

Your do it yourself wedding bouquet should be made using your favorite flowers. My mom loves roses so she carried white roses with a brand new white Bible on her wedding day back in 1958. Roses are pretty but they are not my favorite flower.

My favorite flower is the daisy. My wedding colors were pink and white so I carried a beautiful mix of pink daisies with baby's breath and greenery. My attendants also carried pink daisy bouquets.

Ever since I was a little girl, daisies have been my favorite flower so it seemed natural that my wedding bouquet would be daisies.

My point--carry the flowers you love and want to use in your wedding bouquet and don't worry about what other people think. This is your wedding and its memory will be etched in your mind for always so make it the way you want it to be.
