How to DIY Your Wedding Flowers | Is it Cheaper to Make Your Own Wedding Bouquets?

Are you planning your wedding? 

When it comes to getting married, there are a lot of things to think about — with costs and affordability being one of them. 

Current figures show that, despite there being a cost of living crisis, the average spend on a wedding is approximately £20,775 (hitting over £25,000 when you factor in the ring and honeymoon!). 

With these astronomical prices, it’s no wonder brides and grooms are opting to ‘DIY’ their big day. 

From recycled and upcycled venue decor to homemade cakes, there are loads of nifty tricks to cut costs. 

But, have you considered DIY flowers?

In this blog, we’re showing you how to DIY your wedding flowers — while staying within your budget!

You’re Paying for a Florist’s Time; Don’t

 Is it cheaper to make your own wedding bouquets? Absolutely!

Rightly so, florists charge for their time. You’re paying for the time it takes to make the arrangements, deliver/set them up in the venue and, if warranted, collect them afterwards, too. 

This can quickly ramp up the price, often creeping into the thousands. 

If you’re looking at cutting back, doing your own flowers saves you paying for their labour, allowing you to focus your money on other aspects of your wedding. 

This isn’t a dig at florists — their costs are completely justified. But, if you want to save money, DIY wedding flowers are extremely cost-effective.
