DIY-wedding bouguet-(RP,PIP)

I did post this first on the DIY board and thought I would post it over here as well. I went to the grocery store today and I have been eyeing these flowers for sometime now. I decide to go ahead and buy them today and see if I could make a bouquet and how long one would take. This one would be a bridesmaid bouquet and for mine I would added roses. What do you ladies think

Thanks ladies! It took about two hours but I was also watching tv and stuff. The hardest part was cleaning all the steams and picking out which ones I wanted to use.

Great job! I DIYed all of our wedding flowers and it was so worth it! It feels great to walk down the aisle holding something that you made, and it feels kinda romantic putting it together the night before.

I would say try it and see how it goes. Just get some cheap flowers from the store. Good luck!

The bouquets and centerpieces were easy (IMO).  I found making the corsages and bouts to be more challenging. 

Go to the grocery store and pick up some flowers.  See how it goes.  I know a few people who DIY the centerpieces/bouquets and get a florist to do the tricky stuff.

That looks fantastic!
