Making your own bouquets?

Marylou-lou, 5 November, 2010 at 12:09 Posted on Planning 0 2

Hi there again, I would like some positive advice or flashes of bouquets that you have made on your wedding. I am positive that I'll do my own with A few ivory roses, some euculyptus and sea lavender tied with florist wire and a nice thick ribbon. I actually done a mock one with less expensive flowers a week ago and thought it looked great. However, everyone I speak to isn't so impressed and seem to think making your own bouquet is a bit weird.

I'm planning on visiting the florist to pick up whatever flowers are in season in my colours 2 days before the wedding and knocking up the bouquet then! It only took me an hour last time and I'll have a few more practices before the big day. I reckon the cost for flowers would be £15. Oh and I'll be making the buttonaires too with sea lavender and euculyptus.

    I don't think it's weird to make your own!!! The only thing I would say if you're making it fresh on the day is that are you sure you will have time to make it up? You may be way too stressed, especially if it doesn't go right.

    I've made my own but out of foam roses, will post a pic later, can't at the mo as I'm at work Smiley smile

    Tis exactly what i was going to say. We had it in our head that we were going to make our own bouquets and cupcakes but after speaking to most people organised a wedding it appears there wont be much time for things like that. Anyway do you really want to faffing around with flowers when you could be being pampered at the salan with treatments galore and a nice glass of vino!?

    My mum did my flowers and i did the table centres. Suppose it depends what you want but we had nothing but compliments for ours and all the guests wanted table centres to take home!
