Martha & Peter’s Mountain Wedding – Canmore, Alberta
Their celebration at the Canmore Golf and Curling Club was surrounded by jaw-dropping alpine views, crisp mountain air, and the warmth of friends and family.
Every detail of their day reflected their personalities — fun, relaxed, and full of love. And when it came to the florals, Martha decided to roll up her sleeves and bring her creative vision to life herself.
Why Martha Decided to DIY Her Wedding Flowers
When asked why she chose to DIY, Martha’s answer was simple and heartfelt:
“To save money and I love crafting!”
It’s a sentiment many creative brides share. DIY wedding flowers aren’t just budget-friendly — they also add a deeply personal touch to your big day. For Martha, the process of designing her florals was more than just another wedding task; it was an opportunity to get hands-on, have fun, and infuse the day with her own artistry.
Tips from Martha for Future DIY Brides
Martha shared some thoughtful (and practical!) advice for anyone thinking about creating their own wedding flowers:
“Grab some friends to help, get many buckets, watch the You Floral YouTube videos, listen to your creative voice! We actually had quite an extra flower so we made a few vases.”
Here are her top takeaways for an easy, stress-free DIY floral experience:
-
Get your friends involved. Flower arranging is way more fun — and faster — when you make it a group activity!
-
Have plenty of buckets ready. You’ll need lots of space to hydrate and organize your stems before arranging.
-
Watch tutorials. The You Floral YouTube channel is full of helpful guides that make the process so much easier.
-
Trust your creativity. There’s no wrong way to make something beautiful — your florals should reflect you.
-
Use up your extras. Leftover flowers? Create small vases for your tables, gift them to guests, or decorate your welcome area.
Her advice captures the essence of DIY weddings — relaxed, creative, and full of joy.
