Are DIY Flowers Right For Me?

Are DIY Flowers Right For Me?


● Do I enjoy working with flowers?

● Do I have at least 6 free hours the day before my wedding? Or do I feel
comfortable delegating the flowers to a friend or family member who does?

● Do I have friends and family who can support me with the potential stress of a
large DIY project the day before my wedding?

● Do I want to travel the day or two before my wedding to pick up my flowers?

● Do I have a good place to store my flowers–cool, dark, and away from pets and
children?

● Is there a friend or family member I can trust to bring my DIY flowers to the
venue and set up all the centerpieces the day of the wedding?

● Do I have a very specific style in mind for my flowers, and will I be frustrated or
disappointed if I’m not able to create it at the last minute?

● Do I want to buy all the vases and other containers for the flowers myself?

● Do I have special floral snips (not regular scissors) for working with flowers? If
not, do I want to buy these?

● Do I want to buy the special tools needed (floral glue, floral tape, ribbon, pins,
etc.) to create intricate items like corsages, bouquets, and boutonnieres?

● Do I have a friend or family member who can clean up the flowers and take them
away from the venue after the wedding is over?
