Wedding flowers
I wanted to save cost of flowers but also wanted something beautiful!
I had the idea of my bridal party building their own bouquet as a special reputation of who they are! I bought “starter” dried flowers from Amazon and then we made a night of going to hobby lobby and them picking there fillers then going back and building. I love each of their bouquet and the special touch it brought to our day. Highly suggest going when the season sale is happening as I paid $75 for all 7 of there bouquets!
My bridal bouquet I wanted simple but also pop. The shop I purchased through on Etsy was such an amazing price and the quality was AMAZING! My whole bouquet is made of dried flowers. This is also something I can keep forever!
The guys I also wanted simple but pop. I had actually found theirs first and fell in love with them. I would say I somewhat based my flowers off those but they had fit my vision perfectly.
The mom’s/Grandmother corsage I wanted the orange as I wanted them to be connected to my bridal party but also beautifully different. These were such a great option.
My flower box I purchased the box and the flowers from hobby lobby. My bestie and I went one night and bundled flowers we liked and then I just started playing around and placing the box. A fun detail I enjoyed putting together.

Planning wedding flowers can quickly become one of the most expensive parts of a wedding budget, but creating your own arrangements introduces a personal touch that also reduces costs. From my own experience, buying ‘starter’ dried flowers online, particularly from Amazon, offers a great base for crafting unique bouquets. Then, visiting local craft stores like Hobby Lobby during seasonal sales provides access to a variety of filler flowers and greenery at discounted prices—making it affordable for an entire bridal party. Having my bridal party build their own bouquets was not only budget-friendly but also added sentimental value to the ceremony. Each bouquet reflected the personality of each member, turning flower arranging into a fun and collaborative pre-wedding activity. This hands-on approach helped cut costs significantly, as I paid only $75 for seven bouquets. The shift to dried flowers for the bridal bouquet was a decision I’m especially glad I made. Beyond their rustic charm, dried flowers ensure longevity—you can keep your bouquet as a lasting memento. I found purchasing from Etsy shops like flowerwoodsupply and BoneyBeeBaby provided beautiful, high-quality options that perfectly matched my vision and budget. These shops often offer customizable selections, adding exclusive touches to traditional floral choices. Corsages for moms and grandmothers in warm orange shades were a thoughtful way to connect them visually to the bridal party while ensuring they stood out uniquely. This small detail highlighted the cohesiveness of the wedding floral theme. A flower box decoration was another creative detail I enjoyed crafting myself. Selecting flowers and experimenting with arrangement allowed me to personalize this decor element, illustrating how DIY projects can elevate the overall wedding aesthetic. For couples thinking about using dried flowers or DIY arrangements, my advice is to plan early, shop sales, and incorporate personal elements. It transforms wedding flowers from a standard expense into memorable, personalized keepsakes that tell your wedding story.
