This is the wedding florals guide you’ve been looking for. Created for DIY couples by an experienced florist.

"If you want to nail professional grade florals and take the anxiety out this is the guide for you! One of the things that made this guide so helpful was that the instructions were detailed but to the point. Ket took you step by step on how to create everything from bouquets to installs and arrangements. I can honestly say that I am actually confident choosing and arranging flowers now. Since reading this guide I've created several arrangements for Easter and a baby shower and I had trouble convincing family I did myself."

What if I’m unsure about DIYing my wedding flowers?
Yes! Once you purchase the Guide, you can join the private facebook group! You’ll find me in there answering questions and other DIY brides.

I recommend purchasing the guide at least 6-8 months before your wedding. You probably can go through the guide in a week, but implementing the steps will take a few months. I encourage purchasing the guide early, so you can begin practicing!
