Beautiful wild floral arrangements. They look great as centrepieces, especially with the short pillar candles scattered around the tables. Your bouquet is beautiful btw :) Simple and elegant.

@ Erin, I definitely think it depends on the scale of your wedding, the events surrounding your wedding day, and who you have in your corner.

You definitely need help – it will take several hours to assemble centerpieces. But you can save time by doing a bunch of prep work the day your flowers arrive. Trim them down, de-leaf as necessary. And you can always arrange the centerpieces the night before if you have that option.

I wasn’t very stressed about the flowers, I didn’t have a distinct look in mind so I think that made it much easier for me. I like the wild, irregular look, so precision wasn’t key for me.

I loved how everything turned out, both Fifty Flowers and Whole Blossoms were great, and to someone who was looking to save money, I saved a ton by doing them on my own. Email me if you have any specific questions! christinedwhite@gmail.com

I love these! I want to DIY my flowers but am worried it will be very stressful the day of. What are your thoughts on that? Was it worth it? Did it add tons of extra stress?

Hi! I’d love if you could contact me with specifics on your experience with Whole Blossoms. I’m thinking of using them for my wedding flowers in June and am nervous about trying to get my flowers via the internet, but especially them since I can’t find a lot of postings about their quality or reviews of them.
Thanks!
Leah

These are so great!! I wish I was that creative…these seriously look like they were professionally done! Loving the wild, just-picked-out-of-the-garden look!
