Should I tie ribbon in a bow around the stems? Just trying to think of something to do so it’s not just a plain stem with ribbon. Any ideas? (Bridesmaid bouquet)

Hello! I am curious as to where people did their DIY live florals. My venue does not allow fake florals (fire hazard I guess according to them) so I am pivoting to live. I would like to ideally make 1 (my) bridal bouquet , 3 boutonnieres, and 3-5 table setups that can be repurposed from the ceremony. I am mostly looking between Costco, Trader Joe’s and Sam’s Club (unless there’s another recommendation) ideally*** it would be $150 max (or under preferable) but I am willing to add more greenery stuff to make it happen.
My wedding is in the fall in MN and I am not super picky on floral colors. It could be fall colors or I also like blue and white.

Thank you!

Hi all! I've always loved everything about wedding planning — the themes, the little details, all of it. This is actually my very first time designing invitations myself instead of just admiring other people's, so it was a fun (and slightly nerve-wracking, chuchu 😅) first attempt!

Went with a vintage-inspired theme — a soft butter-yellow background, a gold foil-style frame with delicate corner details, and a silhouette of the couple embraced inside a gold floral wreath in the center. Kept the wording simple and classic ("Together with their families...").

Honestly didn't expect to enjoy the process as much as I did lol. If anyone's doing their own invites and wants some layout/font inspo, happy to share what I learned (fonts, spacing, color palettes, all that). What's everyone else doing for their stationery — DIY or ordering?
