My silk flowers

[danielle2934]

I'm getting married October 1st onboard the carnival paradise in Tampa. I decided to go to Michaels and make my own silk flowers.

 

 

 

My bridesmaids will have purple dresses and hold orange flowers

Very Pretty, I have the same plan. It is great to see it done so beautifully. Your pics put my mind at ease.

I have read of many brides ordering the fake flowers that have what has been described as a "real" look. With my budget, I had planned on going this route and putting that $$ elsewhere.

It was so easy too!

Any tips you can share would be great!!!

I spent just under $300 at Michaels and sd floral supply

I have made 4 beautiful bouquets, 7magnetic boutonnieres 2magnetic Corsages 1 wrist corsage and my cake topper still need to make my mothers rose for vase and have a beautiful assortment left over that I will put together in a bouquet and take to cemetery before we leave.

Larandshar you've done a great job too. Did you get the flowers from michaels or hobby lobby?

[LarAndShar]

i wish i had better lighting or my cell phone took better pictures... :(

 

the flowers used for the 4 boutonnieres and the filler on bouquets (white with crystal centers) i bought at michaels.

 

the orchids, hibiscus, lilies, stargazers and roses I got at San Diego floral supply

How long did it take you to do the whole set?

[LarAndShar]

the bouquets were easy about 2 hours total for each one...

 

my youngest daughters was a little harder (not pictured) it has a silver rose ring holder as the center flower. it was just a little awkward to hold and wrap to.

 

the boutonnieres and corsages I played with for a few days and when i got the idea of what i wanted i put each one together in 30 min or less. very easy to make.

 

the cake topper i worked on for days... it sat on my table and i picked at it added flowers took out flowers added more, moved them around... LOL it was fun and I'm happy the way it turned out.
