Wedding Flowers: Materials Required for DIY - as part of the Wedding series by GeoBeats.

If you are going to need a lot of flowers, it is a good idea to pre-order them or in the summer several people will go to (Unclear). There are some farms out there where you can use some picking. But, of course, you can't go and buy the flowers on Monday for a Saturday wedding, so you need to keep that in mind as far as your time frame goes, that you need to get the flowers, maybe on Wednesday or Thursday.

Then there are the containers that you need for the centerpieces. They may be glass containers that you have bought or some other containers that may have struck your fancy. If you want to make corsage and boutonnieres you're going to need some thin wire to make those, and some floral tape.

And then for the bridal bouquet you also will need some floral tape and some ribbon to keep the bouquet together. You can either make a bow or tie a bow, or use some pins to tie the ribbon on to secure the ribbon. And then the pins are needed also for corsage and boutonnieres.
