Today we show you how to make this pretty burgundy and cream DIY wedding bouquet with an easy step-by-step tutorial. This DIY wedding flower tutorial is great for a rustic wedding, or a garden wedding with a touch of whimsy. Plus it’s made up of only four flowers and some eucalyptus greenery – which is awesome for a DIY bride!
All of the flowers for this bouquet can be easily ordered online from our bulk floral friend and sponsor, Blooms By The Box here. Most of them are available year round – the bronze mums are fall flowers, but can easily be subbed with another red eye catching wedding flower like pincushion Proteas, burgundy Dahlias or red peonies, depending on season. When you order the blooms in bunches, you’ll have enough left over to create smaller versions for your bridesmaids’ bouquets too. At the time of writing (2017) we’ve got this DIY bouquet coming in at around under $60, with three bridesmaid bouquets coming in at just about $30.
We’ll be working with white football mums, peach Tiffany roses, eucalyptus for wedding greenery and for burgundy red wedding flowers we’re using red Astilbe and bronze football mums. This bouquet is totally perfect for a fall wedding and would look great if this rustic garden wedding was re-imagined in with touches of burgundy! In fact, we think it would look beautiful at just about any of these burgundy weddings!
