I hear a lot of people saying that they are doing their own flowers for their wedding day, which if you are green fingered and have a huge love of flowers is fair enough! However, making the decision to create your own bridal bouquets and flower decorations isn’t one to be taken lightly. I always advise couples to hire a professional when it comes to planning a wedding, whether it be the photography or catering, entertainment or the flowers. Although, if you have a creative streak, or a huge love of flowers, or you simply don’t have the budget, then you may want to get your secateurs out and give it a go yourself.  . With that in mind, I have invited Grace Michaels, Co-Founder of Barn Florist Online, a leading wholesale flower and foliage provider to the blog. She is here to tell us a few do’s and don’ts and a few things you need to consider when creating your own wedding flowers. DIY Wedding Flowers The Do’s and Don’ts and What to be Aware of
