Bouquet

Did anyone make their own bouquets for themselves or bridesmaids.

My mum has offered to do this for me. Our wedding is on a Friday, is Tuesday to early to buy the flowers?

Any tips?

Thank you. Undecided. I've been swamped with work this week and haven't been able to put much focus on it. Will call a few florists tomorrow hopefully i'll be able to get advice from them.

Thank you for your well wishes Grin wedding is at the end of the month (thankfully) x

I got married on Christmas Eve and made my own.
Ideally l wanted the wild flower look but obviously wrong time of year so l chose some roses. Just kept it simple.

Sorry I misread. You said "on a Friday" and dumbo here read it as "on Friday" 🤦‍♀️

Thought that you'd left it a bit late Grin

I’ve made bouquets for friends weddings before but I am not a florist. I would say Wednesday is the earliest you want to get them. Give them a really good drink overnight then do on Thursday. You’ll need to put the bouquets in water and refrigerate any buttonholes. Depends on how much time you have to do them, how many people are helping, how experienced they are, etc etc.
