So, you want to know why you should DIY your flowers? We’ll give you 3 good reasons!
Save Money
The biggest reason to DIY your flowers is saving a ton of money. Flowers, though gorgeous and transformative for an event, are often an unexpectedly large expense. Fortunately, crafting your own bouquets, centerpieces, aisle décor, boutonnieres, or arch decorations is not only feasible but enjoyable. You might be surprised at how accessible this can be when you exploring tutorials, DIY guides, and community tips shared widely online. Given that bridal bouquets typically cost upwards of $250 from a florist, DIY floral projects could save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars, making cost-efficiency alone the best argument for doing it yourself.
It’s Fun
To some, DIYing your flowers may seem like a daunting task but it’s really all about how you approach the situation. If you gather your wedding party, family, and/or friends to help you out with this the day before the wedding, we know you’ll enjoy the task. Try thinking of it as therapeutic, which it totally can be! To work with beautiful blooms and create something special for your special day is really the icing on the cake. Before, try picking up some flowers locally or placing a small order with us to familiarize yourself with the flowers and working with them if you’re nervous.
Bragging Rights
Lastly, pulling off your beautiful DIY flowers isn’t the best part, the best part is being able to tell everyone who compliments them that you made them yourself. It’s an absolutely rewarding experience. Most couples who DIY their flowers end up being so proud of their work and stating how special it was that they created everything themselves.
