DIY Flowers

Another way to save money for your big day is to do your own flowers There are lots of online tutorials (see below) available. Will work out much cheaper than florists and you can get it exactly how you want to!!

Get a few pictures together from bridal and florist magazines, work out your colour scheme and how many bouquets, buttonholes, corsages etc you will be making so you will know how many flowers you  will need. It may be an idea to have a trial run too!

If I can find the time in between getting back from the wedding in Cyprus and the wedding reception back here in the UK, then I will give this a whirl myself!!! (To match the bridesmaid’s wrist corsages that I have made of course!!)

Here are some links I’ve found for DIY wedding flowers:
