Have you ever thought about how you will ask your best friends to be your bridesmaids in a special way? Today we have this lovely DIY post that is the perfect way to ask them. It’s very easy to follow and won’t take up too much of your time either! How fantastic!  Massive thanks from Claire at Waterbaby Flowers for sending us this great DIY post to the blog.

Will You be my Bridesmaid Bouquet

‘Here is a sweet and thoughtful idea for that special moment when you ask your best friend to be your bridesmaid for wedding. A simple bouquet with the all important question written on the tag – Will you…be my Bridesmaid? Choosing flowers to match the colour scheme of your wedding will give your girl some inside information about the big day, kicking of the wedding planning in beautiful style!’
