A very FAQ: (A VERY FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION)

If your question is: "Hey Ang, is it cheaper for me to do these myself?"

My answer is: Ummmmm...if time is money to you...NO.

It really depends how many you are making and what you flowers/greens/tools you already have. Making one set...(one corsage and one bout) will likely not save you much money unless you already have all the tools, have a lot of time on your hands, and absolutely love this stuff. If you're making 5 sets...maybe. You need time, you need tools, you need to be willing + you need some good flower energy. If that's you...you'll probs save some money. 💰💰💰

But the DIY peeps aren't usually here to save the money. You lovelies are here because you LOVE it. It brings you JOY to create, make, build and design. If that's you, go for it. Enjoy. Have fun. 

And maybe do a couple practice ones, just for fun. ✂️💃

 GOOD LUCK, LOVELIES!!! 🌸
