Wedding Flowers – DIY?

April 15th, 2011

Featured Bride Lauren W., Wedding Location: Wayzata, MN | Wedding Date: October 8, 2011

Just when you thought there were more Do-It-Yourself options than you can count… I have another for you! Who would have thought that you can play Bride, Designer, Seamstress, DJ and now FLORIST at your own wedding?! Well, you can! 

*THIS POST IS NOT FOR THE TIMID OR SHY BRIDE* This is for the creative/whimsy/fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants/lets-save-a-buck-or-two (or hundreds) Bride!

 On average, a wedding bouquet (just the Brides) will cost you between $125-$160. Why not build your own for a FRACTION of the price?

I have recently stumbled upon a great website, http://www.bloomsbythebox.com/ that offers to ship flowers – day of/day before and even in “Wedding Packs” at wholesale prices. This is also a great option for those brides who are maybe having a Florist do their wedding but will be winging their Groom’s Dinner or Shower décor themselves! The site offers great advice and lots of choices for wholesale flowers.

One note: Beware when ordering hydrangeas (they can come in ALL sorts of colors and may wilt quickly!) and Calla Lillies (they can come in green depending upon their freshness/maturity).

Saving money is a huge thing for most brides and grooms and this is just another way to do so! Have fun browsing! 

Cheers!
