1. Enlist Help
DIY doesn’t have to mean, “do it alone”. Ask friends, family, or members of your bridal party to join in the fun. Not only does this lighten the workload, but it also turns flower arranging into a memorable experience.

3. Set Expectations
Perfections isn’t the goal, celebration is. Flowers are natural and unique, which means no two stems will ever look exactly alike. Embrace the organic beauty of your blooms. Remember that your guests will be wowed no matter what!
4. Keep Perspective
It’s easy to get caught up in the tiny details, but step back and see the bigger picture. Your DIY flowers are just one part of a joyful day. Focus on the love, laughter, and moments that truly matter.
5. Have Fun!
Above all, enjoy the process! Arrange with music playing, sip your favorite drink, and celebrate your creativity. DIY flowers aren’t just about saving money, they’re about making memories and having fun in the process!
