Featured Tips
DIY Boutonnieres
Submitted by beach_comber
Make your own boutonnieres by gluing your favorite flower, a starfish, feathers—anything that ties in with your wedding theme—on to a pin back available at any craft store. This saves on florist costs and gives your groomsmen attire a unique and interesting twist!
My favorite centerpieces
Submitted by crafty_chick23
The average cost for a floral centerpiece is between $50 to $150. You can cut that cost altogether by creating "break-away" centerpieces out of your wedding favors. Simply arrange your favors on top of a decorative platter or cake plate and invite everyone at the table to take one home.
