    I purchased all of the flowers bulk from a wholesaler in Philadelphia and spent 11 hours the day before (and day of!) working on arranging everything. Here's what I ended up with:

    It's kind of hard to see here, but I filled vases with Italian Ruscus and lined the aisles with it.

    I'm selling all of the glass bottles that I used for the flowers. You can see the listing here.

    Hope you like it! If you're interested, I can list all of the flowers that I used.

    Love this! What wholesaler did you get them from? I've been trying to find wholesale flowers around here.

    Wow - those are probably the best DIY flowers I've ever seen! You did a beautiful job and obviously have a great eye for arranging flowers. Congratulations on your wedding!

    This all looks so beautiful! And almost exactly what I'm envisioning for DIY flowers. :) Two questions, have you had any experience arranging bouquets before? Or did you practice/read up on it? ....Or are you just talented? lol.

    Also, if you don't mind sharing...how much would you say that you spent on the flowers? I'm trying to get an idea of what to budget for DIY flowers.

    Thanks!!

    @missRAV:

    Thanks! I just read some tutorials and tried to pick flowers that were large so I didn't need to worry about a ton of them.

    I spent $800 and got literally thousands of flowers, as well as greenery and a huge box of moss. I filled over 200 bottles with flowers, made 4 bouquets, and 7 bouts. I also made 4 very large arrangements.

    @kate169:

    Thank you! It has white peonies, white roses, pink spray roses, eucalyptus, green berries (I forget what they're called!), and pink roses. I wrapped the bouqet in eyelet lace that I found at Jomar and put a vintage rhinestone brooch on the front.

    That's so awesome that you put them together yourself!  I love DIY projects, but when it came to floral design I was waaaay too intimidated.  Mad props to you!  And also you and your girls look STUNNING!

    Vron, which wholesaler did you go through in Philly? MOG is doing all the flower arrangements for me, I just need to supply stems.
