DIY wedding flowers

Weddings are an expensive business especially when it comes to flowers , they can cost the earth in more ways than one . Using locally grown seasonal  flowers means that you’ll be choosing the best of what’s available with no air miles, no chemicals , no single use plastic or floral foam. Creating your own wedding flowers will help save the pennies too, so if you are an eco friendly bride who wants to be budget savvy here are my top tips :

Find your local flower grower and check what packages they can offer . I’m here for you in west Kent but if you’re living further a field search  @flowersfromthefarm to find your nearest person.

Have colours in mind but let me guide you on what flowers are best value for your chosen time of year.

Book your dates early in the season , artisan growers get snapped up quickly as do event florists.

Most importantly think creatively and don’t feel pressured by social media ‘ must haves’ . Your flower farmer florist will give you ideas of how repurpose your flowers from the ceremony to the after party, giving you the best bang for your buck.

Opting for DIY buckets of flowers to make table flowers and church flowers is a great was to save money and share the floral love.

Bud vases and jam jars are s simple way to add colour to your tables, why not encourage team bride to get involved ?

If you want to go full diy and make your own bouquets, I’d recommend having a practice or even booking a workshop to give you more confidence .

If the bridal party bouquets are a bridge too far why not have them made for you instead it takes away the stress and will help you sleep at night.
