How DIY Wedding Flowers Craft Memories with Personal Flair
For those who cherish the sentiment behind every flower, DIY wedding flower arrangements are more than just decor; they can be a reflection of memories together. The process of selecting flowers and arranging them with your own hands helps to add a very special personal touch and a bespoke charm on your wedding day. The days leading up to the wedding are a special time when loved ones come together to create something beautiful and make cherished memories. The act of uniting in this way becomes a shared experience that is remembered for years to come.
Choosing the Perfect Blooms
As you embark on this floral adventure, the selection of flowers is a canvas for expression. Wild Finch Flowers will work with you to select the right flowers for your wedding. We like to consider the following when choosing your blooms:
The season in which your wedding takes place can greatly influence the availability of certain flowers. Opting for seasonal flowers not only adds a touch of natural authenticity but also supports local growers.
Your color scheme sets the mood for the day. Whether you're looking for soft pastels or vibrant pops of color, we'll ensure your flower choices complement the overall palette.
And something fun and unique to consider is the fragrance of your flowers. Fragrance can evoke emotions and create a lasting impression. Flowers like gardenias, lilacs, and peonies are known for their delightful scents.
Step-by-Step Guide to DIY Arrangements
Creating your own floral arrangements may seem daunting, but with the right guidance, it can be an enjoyable experience. Here's a simplified guide to get you started:
Collect Inspiration: Use platforms like Pinterest and Instagram to gather ideas and styles that resonate with your vision.
Gather Supplies: Ensure you have all the necessary tools including floral shears, tape, and vases.
Condition Your Flowers: Freshly cut flowers should be conditioned — stripped of lower leaves, trimmed, and hydrated — before arranging. If you work with Wild Finch Flowers as your florist, we will prep all your flowers for you!
Start Arranging: Begin with greenery and add complementary flowers and focal flowers in layers, playing with textures and shapes. Placing focal flowers a little further out will help add depth to your arrangments.
Sustainability in Every Stem
Intimate and DIY weddings often resonate with the ethos of sustainability, and DIY floral arrangements are a perfect extension of this. If this is something important to you, consider using locally grown flowers. We can purchase a mix of flowers from local flower farms and this supports local businesses but also reduces the carbon footprint associated with your wedding. This conscientious choice ensures that your wedding flowers are as kind to the environment as they are beautiful.
Final Thoughts
Incorporating DIY floral arrangements into your intimate wedding is not just a passing fad; it is a special way to add personality and love to your celebration. It showcases the beauty of handpicked details and the happiness of creating something extraordinary together. As you anticipate your budding romance, remember that the flowers and arrangements you choose will tell your special love story!
