DIY: Build Your Own Wedding Bouquet
If you love to make your own bouquets for your home, you can easily make one for your own wedding, or for that of a friend or family member. Not only will you help to save money, you'll also create a unique, personalized bouquet that will help to make the day more special. Remember to try to go with simple, fresh flowers that are grown locally — if you can buy from a flower grower or farm and cut the flowers yourself the day before the wedding, you're guaranteed to have gorgeous, fresh blooms.

Screw the Bouquet, Get This Girl to the NBA
The bouquet toss always seems to be really important to somebody, you know? It was clearly paramount to this wedding guest, who practiced her wicked jumpshot leading up to the event, and then brought her A-game.
Those other bridesmaids never even had a chance.
Cool Idea: A Bouquet of Macarons
There's a reason Sofia Coppola keyed the palette of her film Marie Antoinette around a box of French macarons: the feminine pastel tones are simply chic and utterly delightful.

Cool Idea: Hanging Wedding Flowers
Miss Cherry Pie recently posted photos of her hanging wedding flowers. She's still perfecting the idea, but I think they look great already. She writes that she "spent some time this weekend with my shepherd’s hooks and cache of jars working out how to attach one to the other.
