Hi everyone!
Thanks for such a warm welcome before. I'm going to be making my own bouquet and I really want some ideas. Can you post photos of your bouquets? The more the better!
In case you wondered, my wedding colors are red, pink and beige.
Also, for anyone who also made their own bouquets-- do you have any tips?
Much appeciated.

This is mine and my bridesmaids had a similar one but smaller.

If you wanted to make them in advance you could try silk flowers. Some of them are really good now.

my wedding is still a year away so I have not yet made my bouquets. But I am hand making my own, as my Mother and I did for a friends wedding. We did them all with silk flowers because she wanted to keep everything. And others wanted to keep their bouquets for keep-sakes as well. Well, they turned out BEAUTIFUL! You couldn't even tell they were silk flowers!! (she used purple and white roses. The white roses had the purple bleed on the tips...quite pretty.) We took a hot glue gun and 'dripped' the clear glue from the top of the flowers, down, to give them the effects of fresh dew on them. They were stunning!
Best wishes to you and for your day!!
