Even though there are a lot of free resources online about how to write your father of the groom speech, I find most of them incomplete and not very helpful. I have some experience in this field (more than 10 years of writing wedding speeches) and I can tell you, very few sites offer complete information which can help you prepare the speech by yourself.

As you probably know already, the father of the groom speech is one of the most important ones in a wedding ceremony.

I relish autumn flowers.

Kate on Apr 21, 2010

It looks really good, i am thinking of making my own flowers as well. It is very hard to plan how much do I need to order. I am thinking of using wholesale web sites to order my flowers, but have no idea about the amount. Thanks for sharing this great tutorial, it's great to have some help!

Really like the elegance but simplicity of the flowers! Thanks for the timing of when to do it - that is very helpful =)

brittni on Sep 11, 2009

Thanks so much everyone for the compliments. It really is an easy project...it just takes a little time. All and all, it took me about 6-8 total hours to make 4 bouquets, 10 bouts (my mom made those though) and about 15 centerpieces. I made two bouquets the day before our wedding and the other two the day of the wedding. I also made all the centerpieces and finished almost all of those the day before our wedding and completed a couple last minute on the day of as well. I totally understand if you don't want to make them the day before, but I wouldn't rec. making them much more ahead of time then that because you don't want the flowers to start to wilt. Two days before I think would be okay though.... A couple of tips: Keep your flowers in as cold of a room as possible and away from direct sun and heat for as long as you can. Change out the water everyday and use the flowerfresh powder that you can get from any florist or grocery store if possible. If the day of, you are still waiting for some flowers to open up, sit them outside if it is nice out and that should help to open them up and a little warm water could help as well to sit them in.

Amanda on Sep 10, 2009

Brilliant. I have never seen it laid out so simply and easily!! Blessings- Amanda

Angie on Sep 10, 2009

What a pretty bouquet. The colours are so pretty together. Thanks for the tutorial.

heather on Sep 10, 2009

It is super easy to do them and they'll look professional as long as you have the florist tape they've shown above. inexpensive at a craft store. We did them ourselves the night before for one wedding i was in, and kept them in water over night. However, the flowers were wilting by the next afternoon. Esp the hydrangea. And there was some dripping water from having kept them in water overnight. For my wedding, I'll have to do them same day but will be getting help from my bridal party. i just can't justify the cost of the florists. We'll be going down to the flower district in houston.

TH on Sep 10, 2009

This is the best bouquet tutorial!! Thank you for sharing!

victoria on Sep 10, 2009

What a charming bouquet!

Becca at A Los Angeles Love on Sep 9, 2009

Oh this is lovely! And just in time for a bouquet project to help a friend (and practice my own DIY skills too).

The Wedding Contessa on Sep 9, 2009

Lovely bouquet! Thanks for the how to. Would be a beautiful bridal bouquet and so many possibilities for tying in flowers for the wedding line by choosing similar flowers used in the bouquet.

Lola on Sep 9, 2009

I love how fresh the arrangement looks. So clean and sweet. Fantastic job! http://sixpence-in-her-shoe.blogspot.com/

melissa@keithpitts on Sep 9, 2009

beautiful...great job of documenting the process! I actually feel that I could make the bouquet!

Meghan on Sep 9, 2009

Gorgeous bouquets Brittni! I'm also planning on doing my own flowers for my wedding and was curious how long it took to make your bouquets? Thanks for the great tutorial!

katie on Sep 9, 2009

i have the same question...when would you recommend buying the flowers and making the bouquets, how far before the wedding?

Kelli on Sep 9, 2009

thanks so much for this. i, too, would like to know how far in advanced you did the flowers. i would really like to do mine the day/night before, but i have a feeling they will look better if i do them the morning of (my wedding is at 6pm).

kristy on Sep 9, 2009

fantastic! I've been looking for the right place to get flowers for a DIY trial-who knew that Whole Foods could do bulk flowers! thanks for the tutorial and the tip!

Jessi on Sep 9, 2009

Thanks for this post! My mom and I are doing all the flowers for my wedding next month, and this is very helpful. All of my fiance's sisters also did this for their weddings, and it was one of the funnest parts of the wedding, getting all the girls together to make the bouquets and bout's.

Tiffany on Sep 9, 2009

Im so excited you posted this today because I am anxiously awaiting my UPS delivery of my flowers so that I can begin my biggest DIY project. This post could not have been better timing!

Aimee on Sep 9, 2009

I love it! I wanted to do my own bouquets, but never thought it could be that easy. I have the same question as Sarah. I just don't want to make them the day before when I'm stressing on all the other details.

Sarah on Sep 9, 2009

Gorgeous, Brittni! And so inspiring! I am hoping to make my own boquets for my wedding next September. I was wondering, how far in advance did you make the boquets? Thanks!

Alexia on Sep 9, 2009

Not bad at all I would say. It looks much easier than I thought it would be!
