Wedding Bouquets: Making Your Own Could Be Wonderful ♡
Wedding bouquets that brides hold during pre-shoots, ceremonies, and receptions*
Ways to prepare your bouquet include:
☑ Choosing a preferred design from the bouquets included in your wedding plan
☑ Consulting with a florist partnered with your venue
☑ Ordering from another florist and bringing the bouquet in
These methods are common, but…
Recently, there has been an increase in brides creating their own bouquets! ♡
In fact, when you look at the Instagram hashtag #手作りブーケ (handmade bouquet), there are over 7,500 posts♩
What’s the Allure of Handmade Bouquets?*
The charm of a handmade bouquet lies in your ability to arrange your favorite flowers as you like, creating a one-of-a-kind original design♡
Moreover, using preserved flowers, artificial flowers, or dried flowers not only lasts longer but can also be more cost-effective than ordering one*
While it does require a sense of style, why not take inspiration from real brides' handmade bouquets and try a DIY project? ♡
Let's pick and showcase some wonderful designs♩
