HOW TO MAKE A DIY WEDDING BOUQUET
• DIY doesn’t save the world, and it isn’t always cheaper. But when it comes to wedding flowers I personally feel that the latter of the two should be true. When you hire a florist you are not the only price quoted for the flowers, but also the labor put into making your floral arrangements. So, if you can take the labor out of the cost by making your own bouquet, you’ll be spending a lot less money.visit :- wedding bouquet in Mumbai
• TIP 1: DON’T BE AFRAID TO MIX AND MATCH SUPPLIERS AND/OR VENDORS • We live in a world of many, many options; and no one said that you had to go to one place and one place only to get your flowers. With other aspects of your wedding, yes, you may have to be loyal to one particular supplier or vendor. But with your flowers, do what works for you and your budget. If you want to get your roses from Costco, but your greenery from the flower market, then go for it! There is no flower-buying etiquette to be followed here. Trust me: the flowers will understand.
• TIP 2: KEEP SEASONALITY IN MIND I’m sure lots of you didn’t know that “seasonality” is a proper word, but it’s a common phrase in the flower industry. We use it to describe flower varieties that have very seasonal growing patterns, which you definitely need to think about when choosing certain flowers. For instance, peonies have a very sporadic growing season, which is why they are insanely expensive at certain times of the year and not available in hot summer months. On the other hand, hydrangea is grown in greenhouses all yearround which makes them less costly because they are more readily available. Basically, when seasonal flowers are in season they are the best quality and most affordable! Visit best wedding Venus in Mumbai
