Wedding tips
My daughter just married this past Saturday. I was able to find all kinds of creativeness I didn't know I had. I thought I would post a few ideas for anyone wanting to save some money.
The Flowers...my daughter wanted to have real flowers for her bouquet and since I had never done anything like that I thought I would just pay the florist....Way wrong answer. One of the least expensive florists in my neighbor hood wanted to charge me $70.00 to put it together and this did not include the $30.00 the flowers cost. Let's just say I Googled for instructions and it took me about an hour to put it together.
The key is the little green zip strips, you put a few flowers together and zip it, trim and then add more. Green floral tape, then ribbon.
I did all of the other flowers in silk and after looking through a few wedding books to see some ideas I just started putting them together by using floral wire and floral tape. I saved a bundle by doing this. I did most of them in the evenings while watching TV or movies.
