Florist Designed Vs. DIY Wedding Flowers Some brides choose to buy flowers wholesale and attempt to design them themselves. They arrive in a cardboard box, a couple of days before the wedding. Brides and their family members scramble to arrange the bouquets and figure out a way to store large arrangements properly before the big day. Unexpected material costs quickly retract from the actual savings. There are many aspects of a wedding that lend themselves to a "DIY" method, but floral design is not one of them. Doing it yourself also means spending much of your wedding week figuring out how to arrange and store flowers, rather than socializing with relatives and loved ones from out of town.

A wedding florist will always be sensitive to the needs of your budget. Your flowers won't come in a box; they'll be carefully set up in the venue by your florist at the peak of freshness. This leaves you time to really enjoy your wedding day.
