DIY Wedding Flowers

2025/7/14 Edited to

... Read moreCrafting your own wedding flowers can add a deeply personal and heartfelt touch to your special day while also allowing you to maintain control over the color scheme and design. The use of burgundy and gold hues for fall weddings has become increasingly popular due to their warm, elegant, and timeless appeal. These colors complement the autumn environment, enhancing the overall aesthetic of bridal party bouquets and boutonnieres. When creating DIY wedding flowers, it’s important to select flowers that are in season for the best freshness and availability. Popular choices include dahlias, chrysanthemums, marigolds, and roses in burgundy shades paired with gold accents such as autumn leaves, spray-painted foliage, or golden ribbons to add dimension and sophistication. For your bridal bouquet, consider combining textured blooms and greenery to create a lush and captivating arrangement. Boutonnieres typically require smaller, simplified versions of the bouquet flowers, focusing on a key bloom with accent foliage secured with coordinating ribbon. DIY flower arrangements also offer the opportunity to customize your wedding style cost-effectively. Planning ahead and gathering supplies such as floral foam, wire, floral tape, and cutters is essential for smooth assembly. Tutorials and floral design workshops can be valuable resources to guide beginners through the process. Ultimately, do-it-yourself wedding flowers enable brides and grooms to create floral décor that reflects their personal tastes and wedding theme while showcasing creativity and attention to detail. Embracing the burgundy and gold color palette for a fall wedding sets an enchanted tone and creates unforgettable memories signified by beautiful, handcrafted flowers.

I once tried DIY flowers for a roommate’s birthday… let’s just say we now call it “abstract floristry.” Props for pulling it off!

A DIY for you! You can do this one of 2 ways. You can either buy flowers and dry them yourselves or buy already pre-dried flowers ready to go. The picture frames I got from SHEIN for a few bucks! I absolutely love flowers and can’t wait to add these to my home decor 🫶🏼 #Lemon8Diary #driedf
