Don\u2019t forget the little areas like\u00a0the cake table, your sweetheart table, buffet area, seating card table, and gift table. \u00a0If it&#8217;s too much on your plate, you can always delegate the more complicated ones to a florist and just DIY the easy stuff! \u00a0We get a lot of brides who prefer to have their bouquets done by professionals and leave the centerpieces, boutonnieres and smaller arrangements to themselves\u00a0to\u00a0make the flower arranging fun and stress-free part of the event!<\/p>\n<p>Now, you don&#8217;t need to use the same flowers across all of your bouquets and arrangements.\u00a0Keep your style consistent, and have some elements &#8211; kind of flowers or pops of a one or more\u00a0colors repeat\u00a0for a cohesive look. \u00a0But you can mix and match vases and containers and other accents. \u00a0This is a great money-saver, too, because you can keep the more expensive blooms to your most important arrangements (hello, bridal bouquet and groom&#8217;s bout!) and use cheaper flowers for other bouquets and centerpieces.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Flowers for Wedding\u00a0Bouquets<\/h2>\n<p>A<strong> hand-tied wildflower bouquet<\/strong> is the easiest of the DIY wedding flowers and can be really easy on your budget. \u00a0Start with one or two kinds of medium-to-large focal flowers like roses or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/pub\/showvariety.cfm?categoryid=248\" rel=\"noopener\">dahlias<\/a>, then add\u00a0loose, airy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/pub\/showvariety.cfm?categoryid=90\" rel=\"noopener\">fillers <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/pub\/showvariety.cfm?categoryid=92\" rel=\"noopener\">greens<\/a>. \u00a0Here are some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/pub\/showvariety.cfm?categoryid=194\" rel=\"noopener\">great combinations\u00a0of wildflower wedding flowers<\/a>. \u00a0For a <strong>cascading bouquet<\/strong>, look for more relaxed fillers and greens that can\u00a0give the drape you want, like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/pub\/orderflowers.cfm?categoryid=92&amp;productid=5\">amaranthus<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/pub\/orderflowers.cfm?categoryid=92&amp;productid=116\">ivy<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>For flowers, keep stems long on roses, and think about stock, delphinium and other flowers that bloom down the stem to make a lusher cascade. \u00a0A more <strong>modern\u00a0round rose bouquet<\/strong>\u00a0is made of medium-to-large roses, tightly clustered and with little or no greenery. \u00a0You can add some berries or small accent flowers within the roses for extra texture. \u00a0A\u00a0<strong>pageant bouquet<\/strong> can be a show-stopper &#8211; look for long-stemmed flowers like roses and calla lilies, and add in some cascading fillers.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9655\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/pub\/orderflowers.cfm?categoryid=194&amp;productid=1958\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9655\" class=\"wp-image-9655 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DIY-Pink-Wildflower-Bouquet-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Wedding Flowers - Wildflower Bouquet\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DIY-Pink-Wildflower-Bouquet-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DIY-Pink-Wildflower-Bouquet-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DIY-Pink-Wildflower-Bouquet-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DIY-Pink-Wildflower-Bouquet-224x149.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DIY-Pink-Wildflower-Bouquet.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-9655\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hand-tied Wildflower Bouquet<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>The\u00a0Boutonniere<\/h2>\n<p>Boutonnieres are the\u00a0easiest of the DIY wedding flowers! There are tons of online\u00a0boutonniere tutorials\u00a0out there, and you can easily swap focal flowers and fillers to suit your wedding theme. \u00a0Boutonnieres require smaller flowers such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/pub\/showvariety.cfm?categoryid=108\">spray roses<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/pub\/showvariety.cfm?categoryid=209\">ranunculus<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsbythebox.com\/pub\/showvariety.cfm?categoryid=109\">chrysanthemums<\/a>.

You&#8217;ll just want to avoid larger flowers, like peonies, garden roses, and football mums, of course, just for sheer size. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Also, watch out for blooms that won&#8217;t do well without any water &#8211; don&#8217;t try to put sprigs of hydrangea or delphinium, for instance, because they&#8217;ll shrivel pretty quickly. \u00a0And more delicate flowers, like waxflower, don&#8217;t always hold up well to the handling that boutonnieres tend to go through. \u00a0And &#8211; don&#8217;t forget\u00a0the\u00a0<a
