Hey im just wondering if anyone can tell me exactly what i need to make my teardrop bouquet and 4 round bridesmaid bouquets, also what other flowers do i need for the big day im not sure? The prices at the florist are far too expensive, can anyone put links on my wall of any good artificial flower sellers/shops online please, iv already looked on the bay. Another question is it easy to do?

Try country b@skets.... They supply loads of suitable stuff at affordable prices and oasis floristry (stocked there) often have "how-to-make" information available with an "ingredients" list of what you'll need and then step by step photo instructions.
They won't get dirt cheap but you can expect to half the cost quoted for fresh flowers.
I think I spent about £240 making 14 button holes/boutonierres, 8 wrist corsages, 4 bridesmaid bouquets, 1 toss bouquet and 18 pew ends.
And we lived happily ever after!

Thanks I'll have a look :) any saving is better than none! That's really good just imagine how much a florist would have charged :o x

It took a few days and a few trials so expect some waste, although most of it can be pulled apart and reusedIif it goes wrong.
key items to have... floristry tape, floristry gum, floristry wire, wire cutters, accoutrements such as diamanté pins brooch clasps, corsage mountable bracelets.
And we lived happily ever after!

Would this work? - getting plain white bouquets of the bay that already have been made up, but is it possible to replace certain flowers with my chosen colour or would that mean taking the full thing apart? and adding pins and brooches myself x so scared of buying all the stuff and i mess it up! :(
