Easier Weddings: Do-It-Yourself Bridal Bouquets

If you're thinking of great wedding inspiration for the coming spring season, look no further than 100 Layer Cake - one of our favorite wedding blogs. They cover a variety of weddings and feature top wedding vendors, from the best photographers to the best florists. And we also love their do-it-yourself projects. This one is all about how to create your own bridal bouquet. Here are some basics to help you get your DIY floral act in gear! Thanks for this DIY bouquet go to by Alison of Unruly Things.

Materials

Flowers, ribbon of your choice, flower shears

Project Cost

$30 for one bouquet

Step 1

I started off at a local flower shop. I didn’t really have a good idea in mind and didn’t know how many flowers I needed to get. I just knew a general idea of color and kind of went from there. I picked out one central large flower to be my focus flower and color, a few accent flowers, and some greenery.

Step 2

Once I got home, I trimmed off the excess leaves and stems that I didn’t want on my bouquet and quickly saw what I felt was enough flowers dwindle down to half the original size.

Results

I have to say, I was quite pleased with the bouquet and it was quite refreshing to know that I would be capable of making one. Though I think if I were to make my own, I’d definitely get twice as many flowers. This was a wonderful learning experience that I’d recommend experimenting with prior to your wedding - if you’re planning to create your own bouquet. It really helped me visualize and plan!

Probably this is a great way to save few bucks if the bride or her friends have time to do it. If they go out in the fields to pick up some flowers it can cost less.
