Should I just get my Wedding flowers at my local grocery store?

 Sometimes the whole arranging a Wedding thing gets to be overwhelming. We get it. And Wedding Flowers can seem equally daunting. So should you just go to the grocery store, and buy some flowers, and DIY? After all, there are many You Tube videos, and it looks easy...., but is it really easy?   

It takes years of practice to do Wedding flowers. As for setting up at a Reception, it is a very time-consuming process. Everything has to work smoothly, if the Banquet staff are late with setting up the tables, then the Florist cannot start decorating. If you are having a simple Garden Wedding, with a few guests, and you have a lot of help from Family and friends, DIY may be a possibility. If you are using fresh flowers, make sure to order what you need well ahead of the date you need it.

Looking at Pinterest and setting up a Mood board is great, but have you noticed how rare it is that the price of all these wonderful Floral installations is mentioned? If this is your first time ordering wedding flowers, sticker shock will definitely occur.

Doing your research online before you meet with a vendor is always a good idea. Making a list of what you need is a must, it is difficult to get a price quote otherwise. https://www.weddingwire.ca/wedding-ideas/wedding-flower-checklist--c530
