Okay lets talk flower girl baskets. Seems like a simple enough “check box”, right? That’s what I thought too. Turns out that those super cute flower girl baskets that you see at David’s Bridal, Hobby Lobby, etc are all about $20 a piece. Which, if you only have one flower girl isn’t a big deal at all… but I have FIVE flower girls! YES FIVE FLOWER GIRLS! So $20 a pop just wasn’t going to happen. Then a gal-pal of mine found these rustic wire baskets at a farmers market for $7 a piece. While they are super cute, our wedding isn’t really a “rustic” theme so I bought them, but still wasn’t in love with them. I bought a can of white spray paint and a spool of black ribbon (both from Michaels) and voila! Suddenly these rustic flower girl baskets became a little more traditional! In total each basket cost about $9 so a total win in my mind!
Here are what they looked like before and after my “diy” day :)
