Stylish Events

Recently I’ve received a few reader questions about saving money on flowers and decorations. Some of the main suggestions I have include having a small wedding party {the less bridesmaids, the less bouquets}, reducing your guest list {the less guests, the less centerpieces}, and doing it yourself. Some brides become panicked when they consider having DIY wedding bouquets and decorations – but I’m positive that it can be done. And it can be done in classy way in which no guests realize that a professional didn’t do it. With the help of the Bloom’s Blog, brides can learn how to arrange flowers, make bouquets, and make centerpieces by watching some how-to videos. Then they can purchase wholesale flowers from a well-respected and professional company that has stellar reviews, Blooms by the Box.

If you’re going this route, I would suggest doing a trial run. This way you’ll already know exactly how you want your flowers arranged, so you won’t be playing around with this for hours a few days before your wedding. It’ll also give you piece of mind, because you’ll realize how beautiful the flowers are {that is – if you order them from Blooms by the Box}. You can make changes to any flower and color choices and feel confident about this DIY project if you practice beforehand.

I’m always excited to give my sponsors a shout out, because I handpicked each one and think they would benefit any bride – especially one who’s on a budget. This month I’ve decide to highlight five reasons why you should use products from each of my sponsors:

I’m so happy today, because I have two new fantastic new sponsors. You’ll be seeing their ads appear in the top right corner of my sidebar by tomorrow! I’ll tell you about the first wonderful sponsor now: Blooms by the Box {and the second one tomorrow}. This company sells fresh, high-quality flowers at an affordable price. They are super budget-friendly and have a 99.3% approval rating. It doesn’t get much better than that.

I believe that ordering wholesale flowers is a great option for brides that want beautiful flowers but can’t afford to hire a florist to do it. And if you read a few articles and watch a couple tutorials on the Bloom Blog, you’ll be able to pull it off. Seriously, don’t sweat it – you can find lots of informative articles like this one, DIY Wedding Bouquet.

Not only should you check out the Blooms by the Box website, but you need to see the Blooms Blog. In the beginning of August, they featured a video from the Flowergod on how to make an elegant bride’s bouquet that is a must see for all DIY brides. There are well over 50 videos on this blog on centerpieces, boutonnieres, bouquets, and more. It’s a DIY bride’s dream come true. While you’re at it, you should take a peek at these posts: Great Decorating Ideas from Pottery Barn, The Peony Alternative, and More About Color in Fresh Flower Bouquets and Arrangements.

 So, you can learn how to arrange your wedding day flowers and buy your wedding day flowers from the same company. How brilliant is that? You don’t have to take my word for it. Check out this testimonial from a bride who gushed over their services and products: “Thank you very much! My orchids arrived beautifully. My arrangements were a huge hit at the wedding and had a professional florist asking which florist I worked for. This is great since I just do arrangements for fun.” – Stephanie P.

Welcome Blooms by the Box! I’m extremely excited to introduce your company to my readers today!!!
