Flower farmer and florist Georgie Newbery cuts flowers for a DIY bride and makes a beautiful bouquet and buttonholes. All farm fresh flowers from Georgie – no imported flowers – and good thinking about the hows and whys of doing your own wedding flowers, what you might consider and how a flower…

Hi Georgie, l call them Lavahteeera, may be l am also wrong, l miss doing weddings, like you in 30 years l made hundreds and hundreds of weddings, but back then every single flower was wired and taped. A bridal bouquet used to take hours of work. l do like very much the more natural look of wedding flowers these days. l also love your buttonholes, in my days they wore just one flower, rose or carnations,a bit of gyp, and a couple of leaves, that was all. l would love to join one of your classes, but l doubt very much if l will ever do a wedding again. Meanwhile, my garden is progressing, if l hear you mentioning a new flower l chase then all over the country for either a plant or seeds. Best wishes Mario from Melbourne.
In America the farther of the Bride puts a penny in her shoe for prosperity.
I am thrilled the wedding industry has gone toward these type of bouquets. I much prefer natural looking. As a florist, I didn't like those oasis filled bouquet holders.
Absolutely beautiful xx
how long did it take to cut 15 buckets?
I always love flower arranging I’m not really good at it but I still love doing it and I love seeing how you are putting all these beautiful flower arrangements together for a wedding when my son got married we did everything very simple and basic in the wedding turned out beautiful and we spend hardly any money but it was beautifully done with flowers from the garden thank you so much my dear friend for another great inspiring video
Oh my gosh all the beautiful flowers in your kitchen I can’t wait to see what you do with all of them
Thank you for offering sensible wedding counsel. Wedding hysteria is dreadful for everyone except the commercial wedding industry, making it difficult for the wedding to be a celebration. Having been married.50 years, I know that the cost of the wedding has little to do with the success of a marriage.
I love the way you make a bouquet! So wonderful and beautiful! You are my favorite! Thank you very, very much.
Beautiful! 💖💖
That was honestly like watching someone perform amazing magic! Loved it.
So gorgeous.
Fifty years ago we were poor graduate students. My husband often gave me potted African Violets as gifts. So many, that when it came time to plan our wedding I was able to take enough cuttings to grow, under lights, a small pot of African violets for each of the 100 guests. We used them as the table centerpieces surrounding a candle. The bridesmaids carried baskets that we filled with flowers. Would I do my own flowers again? Absolutely, maybe without the grow lights !
