Any other September brides out there planning to do their own flowers? I am planning a rustic fall themed wedding and would like to use bright colors (reds, yellows, oranges) orrrr maybe go completely the other way and do just baby's breath? Just need to do flowers for bouquets but have many bridesmaids and need advice!!!

    I'm doing my own flowers. I was quoted decent prices but wanted to save money. I will be doing bouquets and centerpieces, but unsure about bouts and corsages. I will be ordering flowers in bulk from Costco, already did a test order to check quality. Good luck!

    FI and I decided to go the fake route for his guys (we can't justify $30/boutonniere when they're just going to get hammered and eat the flipping rose buds anyway!), so I ordered white silk rose boutonniers and corsages.  We'll see how the dress/suit colors come together, and I may dye them.

    My girls and I will have the real thing - pricing was very reasonable for what I wanted for us!

    We are doing a vintage/rustic theme as well. The florist is arranging bouquets, corsages and boutineers. All other ceremony and reception flowers we are buying in bulk and arranging ourselves. We want it to have a wildflower look like we just picked flowers ourselves. Our florist is even helping us get them from local growers.

    I am DIYing our flowers - bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres. I'm doing all silk and paper flowers, in dark blues with silver accents. I would get a quote for fresh flowers and compare against how crafty you are and how much time you will have to actually do them.

    I made all of our flowers, we went the fake route too.  My color scheme is similar to yours.  My siggy is our flowers.

    I am DIYing bouquets from Trader Joe's. I will buy a corsage for FMIL and we aren't doing bouts. Centerpieces, I am leaving them up to a friend, but will probably not be super flowery.
