Your flowers, made by your own hands

You can arrange your own wedding flowers, and they will be beautiful.

You don't need training or a florist's studio. You need a cool room, a clear table, a few simple tools and a plan.

This guide is that plan. It holds everything we tell the couples who arrange the flowers we grow for them, written so you can use it wherever you are marrying and whoever grows your flowers.

Inside the guide

From the first idea to the morning of your wedding

01

Plan

Decide what to make, then let the stem calculator tell you how many stems and buckets to order.

02

Source

Where to find your flowers across the UK and Ireland, with a supplier directory and help choosing your flowers.

03

Prepare

The tools you will need, a shopping list, and how to condition and care for your flowers so they are at their best on the day.

04

Learn

The three techniques behind every piece: hand-tied, wired and taped, and arranged in a vessel.

05

Make

Step-by-step lessons for the bridal bouquet, bridesmaids' bouquets and posies, buttonholes and corsages, table flowers, a statement arrangement, and pew ends and chair ties.

06

The week itself

A day-by-day plan for the week of your wedding, and what to do if something goes wrong.
