While this isn't a new trend, it seems to be maintaining momentum, which is just fine with me. I am of a generation that enjoys creative pursuits and the ability to direct the creative process. I myself have a habit of tackling projects that others would typically hire a professional for. And when I do hire a professional, God help them, I am the queen of micro-managing. That being said, there are a number of reasons that make DIY Wedding and Event Flowers a viable options.
Simplistic Design
If your dream flowers are monochromatic and monofleur, these types of design lend themselves well to DIY Projects.
Budget Concerns
If you are on a tight budget and wish to eliminate the labor costs of a professional, DIY Flowers are a great option.
Adventurous Personality
DIY Flowers are a great option for those adventurous creatures that enjoy learning new things and aren't rattled when the smallest of details gets botched up a bit. If you are like this, take a DIY Wedding Flower Class with your maids, learn the ins and outs of bouquets, boutonnieres and tablecenters, buy your flowers from a reputable source and dive head first into DIY territory.
In addition to our weekly DIY posts, here are other resources that will facilitate your DIY Flower dreams....
