Hello everyone! This is my first ever discussion post on here so hopefully I don't sound dumb! My FH and I are attempting to really budget down our wedding (i.e. making some of our own decorations and invitations, etc.) but still make it beautiful and memorable! I have been searching for possible florists and after seeing some of the prices (made my eyes pop!) I think it would be best to save money and make our own floral arrangements for the reception, decorations, and bridal bouquet!
I was just wondering if anyone had any tips and tricks on how to make my own bridal bouquet? I'm debating between a round or cascading bouquet but I think I'm leaning more towards a slightly cascading bouquet! What else other than flowers should I include? What should I use to keep the tied flowers tightly together? Michael's or Hobby Lobby for flowers? Or would it be better to buy a bouquet off of Amazon or Etsy? Just worried about these options not having the colors I'd want to go with our colors! (Navy, white, and gold)! I really appreciate any tips or tricks as I'm a very very nervous planner and have never planned anything like this before!
