What is a cheap way to get bouquets with real flowers for my wedding?
I want real bouquets but do not want to pay for expensive ones from a florist at a private shop. Has anyone made their's from pre-made bunches or bouquets at their local grocery store? or have any suggestions?
You could totally make the bouquets yourself. Simple wrapped bouquets are very "in" right now. You can wrap the stems with ribbon or raffia. I saw beautiful bouquets made by a bridal party on a wedding show once, just daisy wrapped in raffia. Pretty, yet somewhow elegant. My bouquets (which were done by a florist had ribbon braided down the handle. This would be more complicated, but certainly doable. Here is a link to my bouquet pics if you want to get an idea of they would look like. . http://www.flickr.com/photos/30669105@N02/
One thing you should bear in mind is the more complicated design you pick, the longer it will take to get them together and that is the last thing you want to be worrying about the night before our weddiing. Unless you do silks. Many grocery stores floral departments are actually doing wedding flowers now. You should check them to see if they are considerably cheaper. If you have a Costco around they have gorgeous huge bouquets for $15. You could always make your centerpieces and bouonieres out of silks, but get your bouquets done in real. My bouquet was $80 and my MOH & bridesmaids were $45 (I only needed 4). I thought that was very reasonable, but it was the centerpieces and ceremony arrangements that really bumped up the bill.
If you decide to go it alone, check the craft stores for instructional books and magazines. There are tutorials online (check Martha Stewart's site) and I'm pretty sure Michael's has flower arrangement classes. My MOH and I took jewelry making classes and together we made the wedding jewelry for all the girls and gave it to them as one of thier gifts. Maybe instead of a bachlorette night, you could get all the girls together with a bottle of wine and make your bouquets. Could be fun!
