  • I think they can look great, we made a cupcake wedding cake for friends about 18 months ago & used a small pot with wooden flowers as the centre piece for the top layer, they looked fab & are now on display in our friends house. After seeing a pic on the mrs thrifty thread We're thinking of felt flowers, I like the idea of something different.

    I used wooden roses for my boquet. I loved it.
    If my typing is pants or I seem partcuarly blunt, please excuse me, it physically hurts to type. :wall: If I seem a bit random and don't make a lot of sense, it may have something to do with the voice recognition software that I'm using!

    something different! I just had a peek at the ebay page and now i would definately consider using wooden roses they look just as good as fresh or silk roses and you'd be able to keep them!

    Don't throw the bouquet though haha :rotfl:
