Yessss! Please do a video about DIYing your flowers!!!!

[@tinalemac]

Adding that to my list of videos to make! 😇💖

[@Jesssssssssssssssssssssss]

Tina Le omg yes pleaseeeeee !!!! I’m only aiming for 100 guests and if you only spend $900 to diy your florals for 400+ I can only imagine how much I’d be saving too🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@JBandBrit]

We'll have an episode coming out soon with Flower Moxie to show you how to DIY trendy wedding flowers! 😄💐

[@lynaeeakettgreene7208]

my sister got married almost 2 years ago. my dad is a carpenter so he made her back drop out of rustic doors. and it can be dressed up in any style you want, so if you know a carpenter (good friend or family member) you might be able to do that cheaper. I do appreciate these tips though. I definitely want to keep our budget down as low as we can, but also stress low too

[@melodybeebe6400]

I wish I could do these signs and dots just as good as you! Oh my gosh!!

[@amyroberson6167]

The guest book is amazing idea !!

[@JBandBrit]

You remind me of a celebrity, so natural on-camera! Thanks for sharing all of your wedding experiences :-D

[@tinalemac]

You are too sweet! I definitely mess up A LOT on camera, but trying to work on it :P

[@mariacarmen3072]

Yess! I made my bridesmaids personalized necklaces (the cards) for their proposal boxes and they were waaay cheaper than the ones one etsy!!

[@tinalemac]

Yesss, so much more sentimental value and lots of fun to make yourself too! 💖

[@JocelynLowary]

I love your videos!!!!! I found you through your Amazon video and I've accidentally started binging your videos (youtube kept recommending you). Now I'm gonna purposefully binge your videos because theses are soooo helpful!!!! I'm planning a wedding for about a year and a half from now. So thank you for all the amazing tips. 🥺♥️🥲

[@daniellelittle2046]

Tina! I love all things wedding! Keep it coming!

[@tinalemac]

Thank you Danielle! I hope you found this helpful 💖

[@lexythompson9131]

I've bought so many votive candles and glass vases on facebook marketplace/resale groups. It saves so much money

[@tinalemac]

Yes! That’s where I got mine too, such a good deal 🙏🏼

[@marissatantay7160]

Thank you so much for all the practical tips + advice! I just started wedding planning and your videos are SO helpful! 💛

[@tinalemac]

Of course Marissa! So glad my videos are helping you out, best of luck with wedding planning! 💛

[@sorianojordan7]

Hey love, truly enjoyed the video! 🧡 Just wondering if you would consider doing a DIY tutorial of how you actually made the centerpieces, they look professionally done!

[@tinalemac]

Caro de Lune I will add this to my list of video ideas! Thanks so much for such a compliment 🥰💖

[@nerax913]

Just came across your channel and I’ve been loving all the helpful tips and ideas I’m getting married so this helps!

[@tinalemac]

Congrats!! Best of luck on wedding planning and thank you so much for your support 🥰💖

[@7BearSarah]

I'm getting married in 10 days (and obviously already have mostly everything planned) but I'm loving these videos and you're making me so excited to see everything come together!

[@tinalemac]

Omg, that's so exciting! Best of luck girl, it's going to be the best day ever 💖

[@beconstant5725]

Love this! Please please do a video on your centerpieces. Beautiful!

[@tinalemac]

I am adding that to my list of videos to make! Are you getting married soon?

[@beconstant5725]

Tina Le Yay! I saw your centerpiece picture on Pinterest and fell in love with it. I feel the question is coming soon so I’m preparing 😂

[@tinalemac]

Britney C. Omg, yasss! That’s so exciting!!! 💖 I got another request for centerpieces so I am definitely going to do a video on it 🤩

[@beconstant5725]

Tina Le Yayyy!! Thank you so much!!!

[@imjohannasofia]

I have been binge watching your videos!! haha 😄💕

[@tinalemac]

Awww, thank you so much for watching!!! 💛💛

[@kathyromack9314]

I really appreciated the suggestion you made on a prior wedding video. I bought the acrylic frames with gold trim from the link you provided and made my daughter’s table numbers. They turned out really cute and were totally her vibe once I sandwiched faux leaves in the middle and used my own vinyl for the numbers.

[@jennydow3169]

Oh, and congratulations on your marriage! Best wishes and all that.

[@tinalemac]

Awww, thank you so much! And thanks for watching! 💖

[@Mikigirl80]

So helpful!! Thanks so much girl!

Of course! Thanks for watching 💛

Great ideas in this video!!!! You rock!!!

[@tinalemac]

[@katrinaalmeda4734]

Hi! I love your centerpieces! Where did you buy the metal stands?

[@justlynnn]

Hi tine thank you for your video its really helpful, im planning to get married next year and would like to see more diy video.

[@tinalemac]

Thank you so much for your support! I'm planning more DIY and wedding videos, if you have anything specific you'd like to see, let me know! (:

[@amandagilbert9907]

Hey girl! I love your chosen color of bridesmaid dresses! What color/where did you find them?! Love the videos!

[@tinalemac]

Hi Amanda! They are from Azazie in the color Dusty Rose. Loved how they looked on my bridesmaids and they have so many styles to choose from! Thanks so much for watching 💛

[@jacquidunbar6779]

Wow, your flowers were beautiful! Love them. Do you know the name the flowers in your bouquet?

[@anjelineramirez5404]

Love your videos so far!! I'm getting married next October so I definitely have time to DIY! We're two broke people so DIY is the way to go lmao

[@tinalemac]

CONGRATULATIONS! Wishing you the best of luck with all the wedding planning and DIYs. Thank you so much for watching! 💖

[@remij9592]

Wondering who out your flowers out. How does it work after your make them? Do you hand them over to someone to keep or do you set up hours before getting married

[@estelat7457]

Thank you Tina for the tips! My wedding is in October and I'm hoping all is well so that we won't have to postpone. So all of your tips are soooo good to get things ready now for then. I'm not a very artsy person, so thinking about getting a Cricut overwhelms me but how do you add lettering, like the one you did on your guest book, on clothing like a bathrobe?

[@tinalemac]

You totally don’t have to get a Cricut if you don’t see yourself using it beyond the wedding! I would say to buy some vinyl or heat transfer vinyl. I made a video on it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4KvYp2ApK5-jLM Hoping this helps! Thanks so much for for watching and supporting 💖

[@estelat7457]

@@tinalemac Thank you so much for the link to the video! I am learning so much from you! Your easy going demeanor makes your channel so awesome to be part of it! Thank you again!

[@JBandBrit]

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! If you do have to postpone, we'll be posting a video soon about elopement and civil ceremony ideas to try out on your original wedding date. We're wedding pros in California and more than half our weddings this year have been postponed so far 🙈

[@elizabethstorti7554]

whoaaa. obviously my idea of a budget and her idea of a budget are very different. was planning on spending aproximately $6 per table all with dollar store decor and free flowers from my yard

[@tinalemac]

Omg, that would be such a score! I just tried to vary the price points between each one of my centerpieces. 😇 Best of luck with wedding planning!

[@victoriatran1332]

Love the content! Do you have a link for the terrariums you used? Or do you by chance still have them for purchase?

[@savannahrose4447]

Subscribed!! You have such a cute personality and vibe! Lol

[@tinalemac]

You are so sweet! Thanks for the love and support Savannah 💖

[@heyitsjennyd]

honestly we are so similar! right down to our centerpieces and vibe! I made my centerpieces and a lot more lol. BUT you know whats sad?... due to all this stuff going on ... I had to postpone the whole wedding

[@tinalemac]

Omg, I’m so sorry you have to postpone! I know others that have to too ): Wishing you the best of luck and hoping you continue to DIY and staying creative during this difficult time 💛 And of course thank you so much for watching 🥰💖

[@ashleyterbs9270]

Hey Tina! I have really been enjoying all your wedding content, I’m getting married this November, and I’m not sure if you’ll see this but I was just wondering if you maybe remembered what font you used on your guest book? It’s okay if not! Thank you so much!!

[@jessdoit727]

Awesome video! Would have loved more pictures and examples of what you diy'd or keep the pictures up longer. Thanks!!

[@tinalemac]

Thank you for watching, Jessica! I’ll keep that in mind for my future videos! I’m planning on showing more wedding DIY’s in depth ❤️

[@jenniferfleurmont3388]

Can you please tell me the fonts you used to personalized your bridesmaid gift and centerpieces

[@sadeo7012]

what greenery did you use for your centerpieces?

[@tinalemac]

Sade O I used a mixed of eucalyptus populifolia and seeded eucalyptus!

[@mramos191]

Where did you buy your tall floral centerpiece stands from?

[@tinalemac]

You can find them on Etsy! (:

[@ashleylorenjo]

You can use Shredded paper from a shredder

[@tinalemac]

Not gonna lie, I've done that before 😂

[@alisiaharris2367]

Not getting married but I really like your amazon wedding video. ☺️ TFS ☘️

[@tinalemac]

Hehe, never too early to start planning! Thanks so much for watching Alisia 🥰💖

[@alisiaharris2367]

Tina Le aww thanks for taking the time to reply 🌿 BTW I wish your videos were out when I got married a while ago. I’ll still watch and put my notifications on for your next video. 🌻☺️

[@tinalemac]

Alisia Harris You are the sweetest! Thank you turning on your notifications for me, new video is coming tomorrow 😉 But I’ll definitely be putting out other videos outside of wedding stuff soon! 💛💛

[@bbyLisaa]

Hi Tina! What materials did you use to make your DIY signs like your welcome sign?!

[@bbyLisaa]

Nvm I see you have a video all about this LOL 😅

[@tinalemac]

Haha! I was just about to send you the link until I saw your other comment. Thanks so much for watching and asking though. Best of luck with wedding planning Lisa 💖

[@bbyLisaa]

Tina Le I love all of your wedding vids! Super helpful, thank you so much! 💕

[@tinalemac]

Lisa Tran Of course girl! If you ever need my help I’m just a DM away 🧡

[@brittanydurning2594]

Did you purchase your center piece stands? If so- where did you get them?

[@tinalemac]

I got them off of Facebook Marketplace! They are also available on Etsy (:

[@satinsolstice]

How much were those tall centerpiece floral stands?

[@abbie5492]

Who did you go through to buy your flowers? I LOVE putting together floral arrangements and am making my own for my wedding. So excited!

[@tinalemac]

Floral arrangements are so fun to create!! I used Enjoy Flowers and Petal Driven, and I made a video all about it too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJTaZGyYaN2Lq6s Best of luck! 💖

[@abbie5492]

@@tinalemac Awesome, thank you!

[@haleystreets]

Me: *watches this video* Also me: *diy almost everything for my wedding* 😬

[@hannahsmith7628]

WHERE did you get those brown boxes that you put your bridesmaids names on? I love this idea! And I plan on asking them with a box, so this would be perfect to use!

[@tinalemac]

They are from Michaels! They’re photo boxes that I have written calligraphy in gold paint marker (:

[@sweetnessyouknow]

You had 500 guest!! I'm only having 50

[@samanthavillagomez9216]

I made my flower wall rather than purchasing because it was cheaper than ordering the one I wanted.

[@tinalemac]

Samantha Villagomez That’s awesome you were able to do that! I think it’s totally doable, but I found it to be cheaper to rent for me.

[@jennydow3169]

Haha. When she said DIY centerpiece flowers, my unmarried craft making ass thought she was talking about artificial flowers, so when she said they let the centerpiece flowers sit in water... I was so confused. Lol. I was hoping to get a recommendation for very high quality artificial flowers for wreath making business “Wreathlings”. 🌺💐🌸🎋🌷🌹🌼🌻

[@tinalemac]

Lol! Sorry to disappoint! 😂Wreath making sounds like a lot of fun though 👌🏼

[@missellie1]

She had 50 tables, I'm having 50 guests 😅 I couldn't have done a fraction of what she did for her wedding.

[@princesalvir3466]

Which Facebook groups did you join? For buying reused decor?

[@tinalemac]

I searched for some local wedding resale groups, which is your best bet! Try keywords like the closest big town by you + “wedding resale” and something should pop up (:

[@Gabrielachaparrotho]

Geeeez I could not imagine spending $900 just on flowers 😩😩 good thing I’m not too particular about real vs fake. And have under 100 people 🥲🥲

[@onellapiyatilake8672]

Are you in Illinois? If so could you please list the florist you used for your bouquet!!! It is so stunning:)

[@tinalemac]

onella piyatilake Yes, I am in Illinois! I used Saville Flowers in Evanston for my bouquet. Mark is so great and my bouquets were perfect 🥰💕

[@onellapiyatilake8672]

@@tinalemac THANK YOUUU!!!!!

[@Clairsmith123]

WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU NEED 500 PEOPLE AT YOUR WEDDING??!!! 👀👀👀

[@victoriarife648]

Who the hell knows 500 people 😳

[@tinalemac]

😂😂 My parents are to blame! We would’ve had more people if I didn’t limit them!!

[@victoriarife648]

Good lord 🤪

[@TheMagnificentSarah]

Omg $1000 on bouquets 💐😭😭😭😭. I'm spending £140 on mine ($198). They are artificial though, because I'm allergic to pollen.

[@jennabenna6600]

Real flowers are beautiful but it’s a waste of money. I used fake flowers for my bouquet and now I get to keep it in tact instead of pressing a couple flowers or just throwing it away.

[@amymoatz9705]

U r crazy i payed 300

[@rew3144]

500 guests ?!?!? How like could you do a breakdown of the budget

[@zinthin8456]

We are supposed to give bridesmaids and best men gifts ? What the hell ...there are so many things to arrange and pay for and we also have to give them gifts ?

[@florencetatro7922]

save yourself the headache and heartache of all the flowers. i disagree with you because no one in my family or friends wouldn't help make them. I also had less people I only had 80 people in my wedding including wedding party.I only invited close family and friends is all.leave all flowers and photographer to professionals.everything else...if you wanted you can diy.I've been married for 11years now
