Savvy, stylish brides are indulging their inner florist with a floral potluck the day before the wedding. This simple BYO event offers a fun and collaborative way of making your own wedding party bouquet.
We talk you through the process:
On the eve of the big day, host an intimate
soiree, and ask each bridal party member to bring a bunch of flowers or greenery. Think outside the square - twigs, berries and luscious leaves all work a charm, as do simple flowers like daisies and hydrangeas.
You can find your offering anywhere - your own (or your mother's) garden, foraged from the forest floor, or bought fresh from the market. Different tastes and sources should make for a wonderfully eclectic selection.
Gathering completed and guests assembled, lay all the flowers out on a table or floor space with the essentials, scissors, jars or vases of water, and twine, then get everyone to pick and choose their own posy. You can focus on a theme, or go all-out with one of every kind, keep it simple, or go wild and rustic.
