Homemade bouquet?

Michelle, on May 25, 2017 at 11:33 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 3
As much as I love to scroll through endless posts of beautiful elegant and pricey wedding photos, I cringe when I think of the costs to make that happen.
I've been trying to think of ways to save some money, while still hosting an elegant celebration, and I can't quite justify spending large amounts of money on flowers that are going to wilt after a few days. So my idea was to create a bouquet of wild ferns. They grow in abundance in my area, but I'm wondering if they would wilt too quickly? I'm also considering using them as table center pieces possibly.
Has anyone created their own bouquets with wild flowers or greenery, and what were your findings? Did they last the whole night, did you find them too flimsy, etc. Thanks for any advice!

    Those are good ideas! Once they are fully opened I'll have to pick some and do some tests!
    I love the flower arranging course idea, it might be something fun to do with my bridesmaids and a lunch out! Thanks for tge ideas 😊

    I second what Erin says! I'd do a test and see how long they last. I love the idea of making your own bouquets Smiley smile It would be fun to do a flower arranging class to get some tips and tricks!

    I like the fern bouquet idea. It's very elegant and simple. I'm not sure how well the wild plants would last unless you are cutting them right before the ceremony. Maybe go cut some early and see how they do for a couple of days at your home.
