THE BRIDESMAID BOUQUET

A MOTHER OF THE BRIDE/GROOM POSY

I wrapped each bouquet with fabric swatches that I had saved from a few years ago and I ripped the material instead of cutting it to give it a “vintage” feel. The bouquets would be so perfect for a backyard wedding…so sweet!

A CORSAGE FOR THE GRANDMOTHER

And I had to share the beautiful coxcomb from the Farmer’s Market….check out those vibrant colors…coxcomb are great flowers to use for texture in your bouquets!

Thinking of using flowers from the Farmer’s Market for your wedding day?

Here are a few things to consider:

1. Find out what flower vendors will be at the market and what types of flowers they will be selling.
2. Depending on the travel distance, you may need to bring a couple of buckets of water to place the flowers in for the drive home.
3. Remember to get to the market early. I’ve noticed that the flowers seem to sell out fast.
4. Be willing to have a change of heart if there are specific flowers that you want for your wedding; the market may not carry what you initially wanted.
5. If you can, contact the flower vendor ahead of time and ask if you can purchase flowers directly from them at their farm; this way, you can get the flowers for your wedding ahead of time.
6. Don’t try to DIY your wedding flowers yourself. The ideal person/people would be someone who is not attending your wedding!
