For years, the term "DIY Bride" has been a catch-all for creative couples ready to get their hands dirty — arranging their own flowers, hand-lettering signs, or folding 100 ceremony programs in their living rooms. But at The May Garden, we’ve noticed a shift: today's couples are not just doing it themselves — they’re doing it their way.
Enter the Indie Bride.

🌿 What’s the Difference?
The DIY label has long celebrated craftiness and budget-savviness, but it doesn’t always capture the why behind the doing. Indie Brides aren’t just saving money or checking a Pinterest box. They’re:
Choosing values over convenience — like sustainability, seasonality, and sourcing locally.
Creating meaning — weaving personal stories into every detail.
Reclaiming beauty — favoring wild, imperfect arrangements over cookie-cutter formality.
They’re not just “doing it yourself.” They’re doing it intentionally.
💐 The Indie Bloom Bucket

That’s why we’ve renamed our DIY Bloom Buckets to something that better reflects what they really are:
Indie Bloom Buckets — overflowing with fresh-cut, seasonal flowers, grown sustainably here in Northwest Georgia.
Each bucket is a curated mix of:
Focal blooms (the stars)
Spikes and lines (the drama)
Fillers and textures (the connective tissue)
Whatever’s thriving that week (the magic)
You don’t need to be a florist. You just need a vision — or a vibe — and a willingness to play. We provide the flowers, the palette, and the farm-grown soul. You create the beauty.
🌸 Not Just DIY — Indie
________________
When you carry a bouquet made from your own two hands, there’s more than pollen in the petals — there’s story.
So here’s to the brides who:
Choose local over shipped-in
Invite their friends to design over drinks
Trade Pinterest-perfect for deeply personal
You’re not just making your own wedding flowers. You’re making a statement.
