This week, I have an inbox full of your wedding flower questions to share! 

I also put together a list of the top wedding flower mistakes that I see couples make, to further help guide you to "DIY wedding flower SUCCESS".

Today we're reviewing:

• How much should 5 relatively simple bouquets cost?  I’m being quoted over $1200, which feels so ridiculous.
• Visiting a flower farm to pick stems w/ my bridal party - how early should we pick & arrange them so that they are still fresh?
• How much time should we allocate to making the bouquets & centerpieces in the day or two before the wedding?  
• Downsides to ordering flowers online?  Considering Costco but the prices seem too good to be true
• We definitely want to do flower bouquets for me & bridesmaid and a simple flower on the guys’ jacket, but do you have any ideas for creative centerpieces that are more affordable than flowers?

Additional resources mentioned in today's episode:

• Wedding Flowers by Season
• Wholesale Flowers from COSTCO
• Wholesale Flowers from FIFTY FLOWERS
• Creative Centerpieces, show dated July 2023 (I said "June" in the show, my apologies!)
