Country Wedding Flowers A friend is currently planning her rustic country wedding and many questions have popped up along the way. The main one however, is how to keep costs down but still plan a beautiful wedding, with happy guests and a bride and groom that have the day of a lifetime. So here are DIY tips for planning your country themed wedding flowers: Flowers Flowers don’t have to be expensive! Let’s look at how you can do table settings or venue decorations with a rustic theme yourself. Source beautiful glass jars from recycling centres. A pretty hessian wrap with string and bow can give your jar a personal touch. Finding flowers: look at what will be in season around your wedding date. Talk to neighbours and friends about what grows in their garden at this time. Use foliage from shrubs and bushes to give your flowers a lovely green backdrop. Finally arrange with your bridal party a time when they can help you bunch the flowers and create the flower arrangements for the table pieces or ceremony decorations. Many hands make light work!
