Did anyone do their own flowers for their wedding?

Congratulations, what a beautiful place to be getting married! I don't know alot about Australia unfortunately, but here in the states we find that many grocery retailers will sell loose flowers or call a florist there and ask them where you can buy them out there. You really want to have the flowers delivered the day before and you are going to need to make sure that you have a back up plan in case that florist makes a mistake on your order or something goes wrong. Sometimes, your best bet is to use silk flowers to ensure you can have everything ready ahead of time and nothing will go wrong with it then. The benefit to having a florist is that you can scream at them if they blow it and they will quickly fix the situation for you. If you do it yourself - you are risking a problem on your wedding day that unless you have someone in charge of taking care of it - you are not going to be able to fix. You really want to have the flowers delivered the day before and have a friend or family member in charge of putting them together or at least helping you. The day before you get married is not a day for you to be working. Personally, I did way too much work in regards to my wedding. I saved alot of money but I would have invited far fewer people, spent less money and asked for alot more help. In the end you want to enjoy your new husband and relax. It gets to be too much hype when the photos with you and him you'll find to be the most important aspect of the whole deal 10 years from now.
