Q. Can I really save money “doing it myself?”
A. You can save as much as 50%, 60%, even 75% off the cost of a full service florist. And most brides can certainly find a use for those extra funds.

Q. Where will I get my flowers?
A. For the freshest flowers, order them online through a wholesale florist like American Floral Distributors. Wholesale Clubs and large grocery stores are also a source. Don’t forget your own yard when considering greenery.

Q. Where will I get my supplies?
A. Any design supplies that you need can be bought at local “craft stores.” Try renting instead of buying the larger hardware items for your wedding. Many of them may never be used again. Check with your local Party Rental Supplier for things like goblets, votives, vases, bowls, urns and other hardware that you might need for the ceremony or reception.

A. Absolutely NOT! You and your helpers can have everything completed 1 to 3 days before the wedding. The time spent with them can be some of your fondest memories.

Q. Do I need a cooler for the flowers?
A. No. When you get the flowers, keep them in a cool room, away from sunlight. The finished designs like corsages and boutonnieres that don’t have a water source will need refrigeration. But they don’t need a lot of space. Many of the bouquets and centerpieces will have a water source. They can go back to that cool room.
