How many of you are making your own bouquets?! My FMIL and I have been crafting them today. The arrangements are complete. Just have to place the finishing touches on them. The first is my bouquet. The second is MOH bouquet. The third is BM bouquet. What do you think?

    I have no idea on whether he is good or not. LOL! But he is creative and meticulous and I trust his judgment 100%. So we shall see.

    To make the arrangement inside the lantern, I just used a small foam square from dollar tree. Cut the foam in half small enough to fit. Then made the arrangement outside the lantern. Once the foam was full I placed the arrangement inside. Had to adjust the arrangement once inside a little to make sure couldn't see the foam but they look great.

    If he’s creative and meticulous, girl, he’ll do a great job💕. It’ll take some patience and playing around a bit with the flowers to get them just right, but the end products will be nice, for sure! It took us all day and I still want to make some changes to MOH bouquet. Would love to see your bouquets once your FH is done making them!

    Thank you! Well, you start with the colors you want and your bouquet inspos. Look for flowers/bunches of flowers that will go together. Separate the bunches if you have any and play around with them. You will want to choose a focal flower and work your way out geometrically (or not, depending on preference). Keep them together in your hand or stick them into a foam bouquet thing (I don’t know the technical term 😬) when laying them out to see what you like. I don’t know if that helps?!

    Hi Beatrice! I'm picking up all my fresh flowers the day before the wedding, but I think 2-3 days before is okay and they'll still look pretty - depending on the type of flower, of course Smiley smile
