diy Flowers

Honestly, I recommend DIY flowers. I saved a ton of money this way. I made four bouquets, and my hair piece.


Michael’s and Hobby Lobby have sales often where flowers are 50% off. So I went then and bought them all. Total of all four bouquets and hair piece was $120 max.

Beautiful! Good to know, did you use real or faux flowers?

View Quoted Comment Were these real or fake flowers. That is such a good idea.

Hi! My wedding is in October 2021 and I plan on doing DIY Flowers through FiftyFlowers. They have a bunch of different packs with several types of flowers or you can buy a single type of flower. I’ve been watching a bunch of YouTube videos on how to make things like bouquets, boutonnières, centerpieces, and arbor pieces. I would recommend watching some of those to see if you think it would be realistic to do yourself!

Hi! I've checked out their website a few times, did you do research on other sites before you chose to go with them? There's so many to choose from. Also, did you work with a stylist or did you just pick and choose for yourself? I've watched a few videos myself but definitely need to watch more!

View Quoted Comment Omg girl you are a lifesaver. I was over here stressing out about finding a florist.

Fiftyflowers.com has a wide variety and are actually cheaper than most fake flowers.


Use zipties to attach them to an arbor.

YES! I have been making my flowers for myself and brides maids including out floral centerpeices. I was quoted for thousands of dollars for what I was looking for and I have spent just a little over $200 making my florals. I would say it does take time and patience to make, but if you're looking to save money/ have some time to dedicate to it then it is totally worth it!

Beautiful flowers btw!

Thank you so much!!
Yes I loved making them! And I agree, you need patience but totally worth it!

I also did my flowers diy with global roses I bought 100 carnations and 50 eucalyptus stems and I additionally purchased 12 roses , 6 bunches of baby’s breath , and 12 pink carnations from Tom Thumb and I was able to make 8 bridesmaid bouquets, 1 bridal bouquet and 3 flower arrangements. It was a hassle cutting off an inch and putting them in water to make sure they opened and I had to make them the day before the wedding so they looked fresh but I spent a total of 200 dollars with all the other supplies like floral tape, ribbon and hot glue and they came out great.

I am doing faux flowers as well! Pinterest and youtube are great resources. I am going to get my flowers from Hobby Lobby or Michaels. My MOH took a botany class in college and did her sisters faux flowers so hopefully we will get a good result.
