164: How DIY Couples Can Still Create Pro-Level Wedding Style on a Budget

Does DIY-ing your wedding flowers and styling actually save you money—or does it quietly steal your time, your sanity, and maybe even hijack your dream look without you even realising it?

In this episode, two of my long-time colleagues and trusted Adelaide wedding pros, Emily from The Modern Approach and Gabrielle from She Runs Wild Flowers, join the conversation to share what really goes on behind those seemingly simple Pinterest-worthy setups that DIY couples try to recreate. 

You’ll hear about the hidden tasks behind the styling and flowers that no one tells you about, the logistics that blindside most DIY couples in the final 48 hours, and why some vendor quotes can look wildly different even when they seem to include “the same thing.”

And, at the end, if you still love the idea of doing it yourself, Gabrielle and Emily also share how to get professional-level results on a DIY budget, no matter where you are in the world, while avoiding the most common mistakes that they see.
