Easy DIY Centerpieces For Your Wedding Reception

Captured by Aundrea Marie Photography

I think we can all agree that flowers are … expensive. After 13 years in the industry, I’m still shocked at my flower bill after submitting my order. Often, my clients who LOVE flowers seek ways to bring flower magic and use their resources wisely.

In our studio, we believe that flowers are far from fleeting. Because, as an art form, they carry the emotive depth of our love stories that make them worth telling in the present moment and forever after.

As a result, I love pairing designer bouquets and personal flowers created with my years of experience with a custom-built DIY bulk flower order.

I do all the hard work of choosing flowers and foliage to fit your vision and order precisely what you need. You come 1-2 days before your wedding to collect your flowers and make simple but beautiful centerpieces with some of your favorite people before the wedding.

You don’t have to worry about sourcing or receiving or ordering the right amount. And BONUS - it all matches your designer bouquets for a cohesive look throughout your day. No grocery story roses and and babies breath here.

Curious what this might look like at your event? See real examples below from past Whirly Girl Flower clients who ordered a custom DIY package to go with their floral studio crafted bouquets. My custom and artful approach to creating ensures that no design is the same. Because, we believe that’s how it should be; professional, personal and wildly you. 

Real Wedding!

This late summer collection was created by the bride and friends the day before her wedding hosted at the Brinton Museum near Sheridan, WY. We used glorious late summer dahlias, foxglove, ranunculus, and peachy roses along with several types of eucalyptus to fill their amber glass bottles.

Looking for a simple loose greenery look or a collection of bud vases and bottles? We can make your simple wedding flower dreams come true. I can promise they won’t be boring.

A Brinton Wedding in Burgundy

These lovebirds planned a Wyoming destination wedding at The Brinton Museum from their home in Texas. Through a series of emails and calls, we planned the perfect florals to go along with the romantic and fun vision for their wedding day. With burgundy dahlias, a September staple, pops of peach and accented with blue, their flowers fit the bill. Their day was perfectly captured by Ft. Collins Photographer, Dyann Diercks.

The Brinton is a personal favorite for local venues. From the old farm house with expansive lawns, beautiful gardens and towering mature trees (a favorite for outdoor ceremonies) to the clean modern lines inside the museum and sweeping vistas of prairie and the Big Horn Mountains near the tent- it has a bit of everything.

Carly and Ben shared a sweet first look on the lawn before the ceremony. This is always a personal favorite and his reaction to the first glimpse of his bride is priceless.

Their friends and family traveled from far and wide to celebrate with them here in Sheridan. I think we’d all agree life is better surrounded by those we love and sharing big moments together is even better.

For their reception, I helped them plan and coordinate some DIY centerpieces. They picked a varied set of amber bud vases and bottles to use alongside votive candles. I provided the flower planning, tools and a few instructions and they made some stunning and simple centerpieces. This is a fantastic option for flower enthusiast with a large guest list and moderate budget who have a few helping hands to put it all together.

No post would be complete without a few shots of the bouquet in all it’s glory. I was so thankful for full creative freedom to use the best of the season and make something just for her. This one featured dahlias, peach roses (Shimmer), blue thistle, ranunculus, foxglove and mixed eucalyptus.

Congratulations!
