I've always had a passion for flowers. I've never taken a course or anything but I love making flower arrangements (unfortunately for me, I haven't had the chance to practice with real blooms only the fake plastic-y ones) I wanted to make my own fresh flowers bouquets, corsages and boutonnieres for the wedding. I even purchased The Martha Stewart Wedding Collection - Martha's Complete Weddings to prepare myself. (Well it was just an excuse to buy it. I wanted it, wedding or no wedding. I'm a Martha freak and I'm not ashamed to say it. :)
When I announce to my family that I wanted to do my own flowers, they all looked at me as if I were nuts. They honestly thought I had fallen on my head or something. Why is that? A girl can't do DIYs ??? I'm sure I won't be as stressed as much as everyone else is saying I will be... then again, you never know.My step mom sat down with me to have "the talk". Basically she does not want me to do my own flowers (not in a mean way- she is simply concerned) So being a good girl, I've been visiting florists left and right to compare prices and see if it really is worth it to make my own bouquets. Of course its worth it, I mean its 110% certain... there are so many factors to consider; flowers delivery, quality of the flowers, etc. This experience can be a beautful one but on the other side of the spectrum could result in a horror story. I don't want my wedding to be a horror story... so I'm going to hiring someone. Poor florist. They have no idea how I can be when it comes to wedding details
Will you be doing your own flowers? Like me, did you have someone talk you out of it? If so, was it a blessing in disguise?
(FYI - April is here and I haven't hired my florist yet. I'm getting married in June. I'm not stressed, not stressed at all, I'm only getting married in 85 days! Oh my)
