I did have berries in my daughters one but she wanted me to take them out, she is only 4!

If she's only 4 prob best not to have berries then.

those arent from hobbycraft they are from http://www.silkweddingdesigns.com

they arent the cheapest I have found, but the quality is good.

The roses cost me around 20 pounds

Wow gorgeous flowers! I bought all mine from ebay and they looked pretty much the same as the ones you have made. Im very pleased with them and they look so pretty with the diamonte thingys in them. I paid about £100 for a large trailing bouquet for myself,4 wrist corsages,corsage type cake topper,medium sized arrangement for on top of pedestal at the alter,oh`s button hole. The lady i bought them off on ebay made them exactly as i wanted, and was very helpfull, and they were packaged really nicely. It was handy for me as im not clever enough to make them...lol.

Cookiedough your flowers are brill, Im not so sure bout the doing of them myself, so have booked a florist, if we dont use her we will lose the £40 deposit (i think) we get wed in sept, so it wudnt be too bad wud it if we tried to sdo our own, maybe Id get the deposit back, she never said it was non returnable, or shud I just get her to do them, not too keen on real flowers as want to save my bouquet, got 3 bridesmaids & 2 flower girls, was thinking of the buttonholes who actually gets them? Decisions decisions decisions, my head hurts lol

did you agree to how many flowers you would buy from her? Could you just get button holes done by her and make the rest? Order a few and see how you get on, but honestly, they took me minutes to make! Try getting the deposit back first!

I am only making my OH a button hole, most people give one to the best man and dads, but I am being mse!

and yes they were great fun to make!

Not getting married until december but just wanted to play!

Nope not said anything about the flowers, just booked her for the day, good idea bout getting just buttonholes from her, or maybe sommat small, but will try to get deposit back, my SIL & best mate are both quite arty so reckon can get them both to help out, maybe I shud get a few bits and bobs and give it a try, see how I go.

Mely, do you have the seller's name please so that I can ask her for a quote. I've been looking at the silk flowers and it's something that will fit in my budget nicely, but I'm not creative enough to make them myself!

Many thanks
