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:

Our New Year's Wedding Resolution: Make All Bridal Bouquets Beautiful

Pink, ivory, and green form this perfect pale bouquet

Not every wedding has a big budget for massive flower displays. If you're studying Wedding & Event Planning with Sheffield School, then you know that a huge flower budget isn't vital to creating an overall memorable event.

Flowers, like any other element of the decor, need to be appropriate to the venue, add beauty to the event, carry out and continue the overall color scheme and theme of the event, and relate personally to the happy couple.

Deep pink and fuschia are great color bursts for this bouquet

The most intimate of the flower arrangements is the bridal bouquet, and we'd love to see the New Year filled with weddings where bridal bouquets are all a beautiful reflection of the happy day.
