Guess what girlie girls? You can create your own wedding bouquet without spending a bucket load of money and what’s best is that you give it a personal touch. Why let florists rip you off when you can do it just as easily and just as pretty as them? Make a trip to Prince Edward in Kowloon (aka as the ‘dark side’ to those who do not like venturing over the Harbour. C’mon Kowloon snobs, is there a flower market or a street dedicated to crafts in Mid-levels?) and immerse yourself in the countless number of flower shops. Afterwards, head over to Yu Chau Street in Sham Shui Po (it’s parallel to Ap Lei Street) for all things crafty. You can buy yards of ribbon in a myriad of colours – this area is like a candy store for DIY aficionados.

Shop around, ask around and see what flowers are in season during your wedding month. Peonies are always expensive and florists know most brides, if not all, want them for their wedding. Break from convention and opt for ones that won’t break the bank. Who is to say you can’t use garden flowers for your bouquet? More importantly, who’s going to remember what flowers you used for your bouquet, except for yourself and perhaps the bridesmaids? Remember, be adventurous.
