Making bouquets is really surprisingly easy…especially when you either use silk flowers that you can rearrange easily if you don’t like the results or if you do a simple sheaf bouquet. That’s what I and my bridesmaids had for my wedding.

We took a random assortment of long-stemmed flowers, piled them up in a nice arrangement, and tied them with ribbons. We plunked the results in a bucket of water until we needed them for photos and the big event. Dead simple, and they looked lovely. We didn’t even have to mess with plastic holders, wire, or sticky tape!

If you want fairly simple bouquet styles, I highly recommend choosing them as a DIY project. You can save a bundle, and there’s nothing like the feeling of making something yourself.

Good luck keeping the cats at bay, NtB! Cats are only civilized insofar as they see direct benefit to themselves…and that doesn’t always match our vision of good behavior! LOL! (loves own cat…but recognizes what a very rude little thing he is)
