Any nice cheap ideas on how to make bouquets?

Answer 1

My mom tied some wildflowers together with the same material as the sash on my dress. It was a very small bouquet but beautiful and simple. Cost was probablly $2 :)

Answer 2

I used red roses and ordered them from flowersandfreshness.com.  I got 200 red freedom roses for $170.  They were super easy to use to make bouquets, boutonnieres, and all decorations.  Just get some floral wire and floral tape, arrange them, wrap them with the wire, wrap them with the tape.  Ta Da.   I also used black ribbon to wrap around them so they would match the bridesmaids dresses/tuxes.  Hope that helps!

Here is a pic that includes mine...

Answer 3

Purchase your flowers in bulk from a local grocery store or Costco.com. Then hand tie the flowers into bundles... wrapping the stems with a ribbon that matches your wedding color.  

Answer 4

  It depends on how cheap and how low you wish to go, as you can always go to the nearest cemetary and steal fresh flowers off of the graves.

  Now. providing you don't get caught, you can't get much cheaper.

Answer 5

Us one BIG flower like a Hydrangea....looks amazing with rich ribbon tied around or with soem extra greenery added. Or a lot of gypsophlia (babys breath) and some tiny tiny flowers all around...gorgeous and CHEAP!

Use silk flowers. My sis-in law used them in her wedding and I could barely tell that they were fake!

Answer 8

Use what's in season, also there's books can give you some hints.  Sometimes the florists have sort of excess order or not wanted at all. The brides tend to change their mind.

Answer 9

dollar stores have tons of plastic flower and some of them dont look fake. try gettin some neutral color flower and add a diff color (perhaps a color from the wedding) flower in there to make them stand out.  

Answer 10

I used latex roses in red and white from spotlight. It cost $80 for two bouquets. They're not tiny and they look gorgeous.
