Make It Online: Do-It-Yourself Wedding 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. We thought it would cool to show you how they used an online resource to design their own DIY wedding bouquets!

Spend just a few minutes on Flower Muse and you’ll get sucked into a wonderland of pretty flowers. They make it so easy to discover new flowers you may have never even heard of. Search by name, color, or just browse their featured, in season, discounted flowers and bulk up. That’s what we did!

Jillian worked with Danielle of Brown Paper Design to create a few bouquet recipes based on some of Flower Muse’s most popular flowers. To help you out, we chose to make bouquets at different price points, from  $75-$200. So, no excuses. If you want to DIY your bridal bouquet, do it! Just pop over to Flower Muse to pick out some of your favorite flowers.

How much do you love these flowers? Ok, so here’s what we made with them:

Cute, right? For this bouquet we used “Babe” orange spray rosesanemonesranunculus, andparrot tulips. Then we got a little more fancy using small white callas,white majolica spray rosescreme de la creme rosesorange ranunculus, “Babe” orange spray roses and white parrot tulips.

Then we went all out and made this bountiful beauty adding white majolica roses, viburnum, white mini-calla lilies, “Babe” orange spray rosesparrot tulipsanemones and greens from the garden.

So much fun! And there are endless possibilities when it comes to flowers.

Check it all out on Flower Muse’s Facebook page, and read tips on their blog!

    Ladies, thank you for such a wonderful post and beautiful ideas.

    I find that being creative and getting involved in the DIY aspects of your wedding makes it that much more enjoyable...though a little more stressful.

    I heart the $200 bouquet, but to be honest all of them are very pretty, it is surprising how easy they are to make once you know how
