Preparing for Your Wedding Day With Your Family and Bridal Party
A flower arrangement is like family, it takes thought, careful planning and can be frustrating at times, but the end result is something beautiful that you can cherish for a lifetime! Part of the joy of weddings is that they bring your closest family and friends together. By using Blooms By The Box flowers in your DIY Wedding, you get to bring your bridal party or family or both together a little sooner. Below are some stories from real Bloom’s Brides and how they made making their own Bouquets, Centerpieces and Floral accents into a pre-wedding event.
“The day before the wedding, the bridal party sat on the porch of the shore house, taking a moment to pause and arrange the bouquets and centerpieces without the rush of wedding planning. After the weekend had come to a close, the bride’s parents handed out the remaining centerpieces (mason jars and all) to beach-goers passing by. Because of this, the arrangements spread out throughout Cape May, distributing the energy of the marriage across the island.”

“We did all of our flowers with Blooms by the Box! Each bridesmaid made her bouquet as well as a boutonniere for a groomsman. Our mothers and sisters each helped to put together the centerpieces for the venue. Everything turned out perfectly.”

“One of my favorite memories from my wedding weekend is putting together the centerpieces and bouquets with some of my closest girlfriends. It was such a great way to spend quality time with them, and it was also fun to know that each centerpiece and bouquet was made by someone I love.”

“I would say some of my favorite moments of the day we’re waking up to the laughter and chatter of my bridesmaids setting up the arbor. The ceremony area was right outside my balcony and waking up to my friends doing this thing for me and enjoying themselves was just such a great way to start the day.”

” [We] created a cohesive design theme from the start and not swaying from initial decisions and utilizing friends and families talents (my husbands Aunt owns a hair salon, his other aunt is a former florist, his brother was ordained for our wedding, his cousin played acoustic guitar and performed our ceremony music). As expected, the only hiccup was a lack of time throughout our wedding weekend, but with the help of friends and family, everything went off perfect.” Nicole + Kyle’s Mackinac Island, MI Wedding
