Tips & Warnings
Make up some flower arrangements well before the wedding. This gives you time to play with your ideas and fine-tune them before the big day. You can make them well in advance if you can store them without squishing the flowers.
Get your family, friends or bridesmaids to help you. The more people you have working on the arrangements, the more ideas you get and the faster it goes.
