DIY ( Do It Yourself )

Ok, the big topic today is going to “DIY” ( Do It Yourself ). This is becoming a hot trend, especially with everyone trying to save a little money here and there. So, today lets talk about all the ways you save some money.

Lets start with flowers, my favorite topic. There are a few sites out there that will ship you flowers in boxes and the arranging is up to you. That’s actually what my business is, you can check it out at www.worldwideweddingflowers.comBut back to our subject. Don’t be intimidated by this. It is very easy to create your own arrangements, all you need is a little preparation & practice. Once you place your order and your flowers arrive you will need to take them out, cut them at a 45 Degree angle, and put them in nice fresh cold water. This will help them to open up and look beautiful. Once you start arranging your flowers just follow your creativity. I cant tell you how to arrange flowers, this is just like art, its an expression of you, something original you create, so be creative and have fun. You can go to book stores and look on-line for tips and tricks, but this task is much much easier than most people think. I’m an ex-hockey player with a flower arranging award, so trust me, if I can do it so can you. For all you brides out there wondering how to make your own bouquet, this process is easy. Get together 2 or 3 types of your favorite flowers and some beautiful satin. Next, arrange your flowers according to your taste, remember, this is art and when you create it, it will have your own personal flair. Once you have them together and you like the outcome, cut the flowers to your desired length and wrap the length of the stem with your satin. See that wasn’t to hard, there is no need to go out there and pay someone over $100 dollars just to make your bouquet. You could create this and save tons of money.
