Wow that's really beautiful, you could make money from making those, are they foam roses?

Thanks ladies, yes they are foam roses-my last lot I ordered came today so decided to put one together

Were they expensive bridetobe2012, only we're not having flowers on tables or anything i'm making sweet trees, so I was thinking I could perhaps have flowers for the MOH x

@J:- I havent totalled the cost as of yet as am probabley going to need some more large roses which are £3.49 per bunch of 6 in Dunelms. I know its going to come under £60 and that will be for my bouquet, 5bm bouquets, 2/3 fairy flower type wands and how ever many button holes I decide to make.

I am contemplating only having 1 bouquet for my MOH and making corsages for my BM's....toying with that idea but not sure if it would just be easier to make all of them Bouquets as I know how to make them now..

@srk37:- I put the flowers into the postions I wanted, taped the stem half way down to give room for manouver when putting the crystal and pearl sprays in, then used smaller roses to fill the gaps (had to add some floral wire on the ends of the smaller roses so that the stems were long enough to secure with tape. Play about with them until you are happy with the shape-add and takeaway as you feel necessary until you have the desired effect-add more tape to secure. Then I added the feathers which was the hardest part, I used floral wire to wire a few feathers together into a fan shape then added more floral wire around the bottom to attach to the bouquet, done the same for the second lot of feathers once they were in place I taped to secure again, then added ribbon
and some crystal pins :)

It looks fab hun well done! xx

Very nice hun, very professional looking :D

well done they are gorgeous x

This looks fantastic, and amazing that you'll be able to make all that for under 60 quid. Just the bridal bouquet often costs more than that if you buy one. Clever you!

@bride2be2012, i haven't started them yet, but i've brought some polystyrene balls & oasis balls because wasn't sure which will be best to use (the bay 15 for £8), I've got some plastic pots (wilko's 15 for £4.00), which i'm going to paint (tester pots 5 for £6), ribbon for the stem (the bay £1.50), so all i've gota get now are the sweets. I'm only doing small one's because i'm not having them as my centrepieces (i'm having balloons) so i'm going to have 2 on each table & 3 on the top table. The sweets are 3 bags for £1 in Asda (3 bags per tree £15) so I'm guessing for 15 trees it's going to cost me about £35 all in xx

Thats what I thought, it's just the making of them now, I just hope they come out ok, but might cost me a little bit more because I forgot i've got to have plaster of paris aswell for in the pots, but still pretty cheap x

Oooooohhhhhh how lovely! Talented woman alert! x
