diy Bouquet all done! (finally)

Madge, on July 23, 2018 at 11:26 Posted in DIY 0 21

I just wanted to show it because it took forever to make up my damn mind but in the end best decision ever and I am oh so happy Smiley love

I always thought I wanted a bouquet with the main colours being majority white and green. Bought the flowers, starting fumbling around and bam my bouquet was made. At that point I was really happy with it.

After a month while I was doing other DIYs I was just staring at the bouquet and my feeling became "meh" towards it. Sooo I ended up changing it over this past weekend and I am sooo happy with the final result.

The first bouquet's white flowers will be added to centerpieces which is great since I haven't bought those flowers yet so no waste Smiley smile

All flowers were bought at Michaels during their buy one get one free floral stem sale (which is happening right now btw). Soo happy I changed my mind because it ended up being so much better. I will say that the first set of flowers were a lot cheaper than the second set and you can definitely see and feel a difference.

Please share yours too! Smiley laugh

    So pretty! We were doing that this weekend in Joanne's Fabrics in their silk flower section too! I've been meaning to compare their silks to Michaels. Luckily my MOH is a silk flower master so I'll definitely be enlisting her help so I don't end up buying sad silks!

    All flowers are from Michaels. I just saw a small premade bouquet I really liked and started adding around it while in the store. Also I highly recommend taking pictures of your bouquet idea in store to see how it looks on camera. 1 of the reasons I didn't go with the 1st bouquet is always because it doesn't photograph well. It kept looking like a beautiful cauliflower lol.

    No tutorials just started throwing the flowers together until I felt it wasn't "missing" something. I even had to go back because I felt I was missing 2 roses. I'm pretty sure at this point my fiance hates Michaels lol.

    They are amazing!! I am so glad to see someone else successfully creating their own bouquets as that is my intention as well! I have been in Michael's numerous times looking at all of their flowers, deciding which ones I likes best - I am going to catch their sale next summer as I am still 19 months away from my wedding!

    Please let me know if you used any tutorials or if you did it all yourself!

    Gorgeous. I think they are both stunning. I am having blue thistles in my bouquet (real), so I'm partial to the colour, but your 2nd bouquet is fantastic. You are so talented!!
