We got ours from Costco. The flower purchaser there asked what colors we liked, then ordered several bouquets and let us pick the ones we wanted. It ended up being about $10/dozen roses. (25 years ago!) Highly recommend it!
I'm doing my wife's right now. It's refreshing seeing one so simple. I've definitely gone a different route with multiple kinds of white roses and greenery
Beautiful 🥰 🥰. Yes.. Don't sleep on grocery store flowers.. They have some Beautiful flowers that you can use to make beautiful arrangements ❤ Very Nice.
I bought very high quality silk flowers for mine and my bridesmaids bouquets, it was perfect, NOONE knew they weren’t real and we all got to keep them forever. The girls were in a ball type shape so I got them beautiful vases to display at their home after if they wanted. Mine are in an acrylic clear box. 10 out of 10 recommend.
My daughter was a flower girl once and the bride selected silk bouquets. All day long my five year old complained about the "dead" flowers. I sort of agree with her. Weddings don't happen every day. Opt for "real" flowers.
@@maryoleary2037 sure but if your on a budget and want them to last forever it’s an amazing option. Some people aren’t okay with spending $500-2k on real flowers. The real flowers for the reception were enough money as it was. Didn’t have a $4000 budget for flowers. But hey if have thousands upon thousands for a wedding go for it.
@@beauR-u9m But you missed the whole point of the short video. It was about how to save money on wedding flowers, by buying from a grocery store and arranging the flowers yourself. I got my flowers from Costco (they let me order in advance.). I used these flowers to make the bouquets, the boutonnières, and for the tables at the reception. I spent about $125...not the $4,000 you suggest. That said, I'm sure your silk flowers looked lovely.
@@maryoleary2037I think having fake ones are better… can’t die.. can plan months ahead… do whatever you want with them… they won’t die so you can keep them and make art out of them, without needing to preserve etc. plus no allergies!!! But real flowers are 100% cheaper.
@@beauR-u9myou’re more likely to spend hundreds, if not thousands on fake flowers, not real ones. You can buy an entire bouquet for less than $10aud, whereas a fake one, you hand pick, will be $20+
I did the same. Had an evening wedding so the morning of my wedding got on my bike and cycled to the supermarket. Brought home flowers in my bike basket!
WOW, your bouquet looks so beautiful, and is not distinguishable from an overly expensive bouquet! Well done! And many congratulations on your nuptials ❣️💐
@@maryoleary2037 But it's not her business AND it's already in the past, so why comment negatively on something that someone can't change AND it's HER wedding, not either of yours! Scroll past, but don't give your unnecessary opinion about the past. I mean, I can't stand the name Mary, but that's not MY business that your mothers name you a name I hate.
@@onfirewithdesireit’s not her business? How? It’s a public RUclips video, that is meant to be a tutorial - that means people can advice others on other things to do.
The day of my friend's wedding, the florist was either late or MIA, but pictures were coming up, and none of the bouquets or boutonniers had been made. The florist had agreed to make them the day of the wedding (it was an evening wedding) from the flowers my friend had purchased wholesale the day before the wedding, but since the florist was nowhere to be seen and wasn't answering her phone, I whipped together my friend's bouquet and one of her bridal party bouquets. Thankfully, her girls were awesome, and a few of them put together the rest so I could make the bountonniers. Ladies, vet your vendors. My poor friend had a terrible florist and a terrible day of coordinator. Make sure you check for reviews that aren't from the source.
Paying for a professional bouquet was the biggest waste of money of my wedding. It didn't even look like what I wanted because they work with what they have. You dont get to just say, "this is what I want- make it happen". Hundreds of dollars for some old lady long bunch of random flowers. Absolutely make your own.
The florist didn't show up on time for my friend's wedding. It was an evening wedding and the florist had agreed to do the florals with flowers my friend bought wholesale. I don't know if she ever showed up, but I made my friend's bouquet, the sample bouquet for the bridal party to work off of, and all the boutonniers. Thankfully, I had friends in the past who were florists, and I helped out for a couple of weddings. No one knew they weren't professionally done. Honest to goodness, some vendors make me so angry. Some 18 or so years ago, another friend had a crappy photographer. They didn't stick around for the cake cutting or reception, and most of the photos were terrible. I had my point-and-shoot Nikon, and with the exception of the ceremony (I was the MOH), I took pictures of everything. I gave them copies of all my photos, and her husband said he wished they would have hired me and my Nikon. That's how bad their "professional" photos were.
That sounds MUCH cuter. And it sounds like it was an actual finished bouquet. This looks like she did step one, got bored, gave up and just slapped a ribbon on it and called it quits. My mother makes most of the wedding bouquets in our family and has done for 70 years. They NEVER look this cheap and nasty. You did a wonderful job wrapping them all nicely and then adding all the extra little special details on to it. I bet she was absolutely THRILLED with all your hard work and felt like a real princess. ❤️🙏🤗 Well done you I hope you're so proud 🙏❤️
@@cececox6399..wow. Now THIS is a rude fking comment. Nasty? Lazy? Really? Some people don’t like to cut up their flowers. Why not buy fake ones if you’re going to butcher them?
I do flower arrangements to relax me. I go to a store and see what inspires me and put different colors and textures together to create a very expensive looking arrangement. If I get the night before. .soak the stems in the flower food and let them open up overnight. Then the Madness begins and I love it!!!
Made mine and three bridesmaids 20 years ago with Costco roses and cattails from the local creek. Best move ever. Our budget was $5k total and we were under.
In Indian weddings, there’s a custom where you take a flower garland and the groom and bride put one on each other when they meet for the first time. I made the garlands out of roses for my brother’s wedding. It started falling apart as soon the bride placed the rose garland on my brother 😭😭😭😭
Is there a specific reason you used grocery store flowers? Your user name implies you’re a florist, so just curious if there is a reason you got your flowers from a grocery store. Or are you a grocery store florist? Which grocery store did you get them from? Turned out beautiful!❤
I mean she looked cute but it DEFINITELY looked like a homemade bouquet 💐 of supermarket flowers. Not what most women would want for their wedding but you do you i guess. 🤷♀️ Though if she's actually a florist why's it so basic. My mother isn't a florist and she has made many many bouquets for weddings and because she's so good at it she just gets automatically signed up.😂 She has also used supermarket flowers and they still came out MUCH cuter.

Very pretty!!! I probably would have cut the stems by 2"s, but great way to save!

I love the charm idea!!

The stems are too long and splayed. The focus should be on the blooms.
I didnt like the long stems.
Me either :/ but thats ok!
samies!
I think it worked for the style of her wedding.
Needed to be maybe the same length as the roses above the bow. ❤
Stems too long
I like the simplicity, but feel it looks a bit bare without any other flowers or foliage mixed in.
Wow, what a rude, judgemental thing to say.
@@onfirewithdesire No that is not judgemental, she was just giving an opinion.

My only advice is to not touch roses with bare hands. Put a latex glove on. The oils from your skin will wilt the petals prematurely

@@user-jv5pp8pv9lhonestly, I didn’t even realise that people paid people to make their bouquets… I just bought mine from Bunnings.. $2 each Lol
You had it just as you wanted. Rare in wedding floristry.
I made the bouquet for my niece's quinceneara, with shorter stems wrapped first in white ribbon, then pearls.

Too long, a bridal bouquet should be short in length and held low near your lady garden - looks best in photos
I used Costco roses....my sister put it together and it was gorgeous!
Stems were left too long.
Says who?
So pretty and you looked gorgeous.
That was brilliant❤🙏🏽

You made a beautiful bride!
Simple n sweet. Looks gorgeous
love it,simple but beautiful
Smart!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Very beautiful!❤❤❤
Awww❤ sooo lovely
Beautiful
BEAUTIFUL!!! Thank you for sharing
Great idea! Thx❤
You did well, it was beautiful ❤️
What a beautiful bride you are
I’m getting married in May and have made all my center pieces from silk floral from Hobby Lobby.
beautiful
Your supposed to throw your bouquet during reception❤ You might want to re-think those LONG stems (thrones?)❤❤
I absolutely love this! Please tell me where you had the charm made
So beautiful 😍
How long before your ceremony did you make this? Seems like you would have to make it the day before or that morning to keep it from wilting.
i did that too on my wedding day 😊
Huge money saver
Omg I did the exact same thing
Beautiful 😍
lovely, I like it.
You could have just used the flowers as they came out of the package for all the difference it made.
She did it the way she wanted

Whole Foods
Stems WAY too long.
Very good ❤❤❤
It looks like you bought some grocery store flowers and held them on your wedding day.
Ore people should do this especially if they don't want complicated flowers
So pretty 🤍🤍✨️✨️
How long before your wedding did you make it?
Most of the time it’s the night before……
And you keep it in the fridge
The ribbon is supposed to cover the thorns.
Beautiful bride. Our grocery store flowers aren't that lovely!
Should’ve done that, and saved a lot of money 😢
❤
How far ahead did you make the bouquet?
Trader Joe's, zero regrets
It’s interesting the training you had to have in hand tied bouquets to place the flowers in a round… No one does that naturally… well done florist.
I'm thinking using pictures of actual professionaly made bouquets would be good it's beautiful but the stems look unfinished.
Bravo!
very nice
W❤W
❤❤❤❤❤
Lovely- Any local florist would charge $$$ for a bridal bouquet.

Nunca uses rosas en un ramo de novia
Too long stemps as wedding ht
Steams too long
Nah. Looks home made.
The stems were too long.
Stems are waaaaay too long! Not a fan of
Please remove all the thorns.
Stems were too long.
nope
Stems way to long
Stems way too long
How sad you had to make that for your own wedding
How sad you shell out for things because you don't have the skills to DIY.
Haha plenty of skills but not enough time
