Photo credit: Handout | Mary Zellman, the mother of the pictured bride, Danielle Zellman, is a novice florist. She made the bridal bouquet from flowers purchased online, saving $2,800 in the process.

Mary Zellman, a physical education teacher, has no training in floral design. Hers was an unlikely transition from freeze tag to freesia.

"I don't do any crafty stuff at all," said Zellman of Lake Grove. She didn't let that stop her from designing her daughter's wedding flowers in August.

"We did it to save money," said Zellman. "We saved about $2,800."
