£50 for the flowers? I could of sold you them all for £20 :j

You could have sold me 1 boquet, 5 posies, 5 baskets with flowers, 2 wrist corsarges, 11 button holes and 8 pined corsarges, all made with foam/velvet roses, with all the little hearts and accessories I'm having for £20??? :rolleyes:

i think i'll have to take a wander to hobbycraft, they could probably be done cheaper from ebay but i think i'd want to go and have a look and a feel of them before i bought them great job foxy! did you get the flower tape and everything included in that £50?

yep, that was for all the flowers, the tape, bear grass, velcro strap wrist corsarge things, baskets (from ebay) oasis, dimantes, little hearts on sticks....pretty much everything. The tape was cheaper at the florist though, I think.

Wow! Those silk flowers are amazing! They look so real.
We're making the flower girls wrist corsages too & time depending, would like to make some for button holes aswell!

These are some we've made so far;

We're also using some around the cakes, attached with florist pins, but we're not having flowers on the tables etc.

How about having some ivy/holly/poinsetta hand tied as a bridesmaid bouquet? Whoever dresses the venue may be able to do it?

I love your felt flowers, I think you could easy sell them as cute funky little brooches, I know I'd buy some.
The bouquets in the links look good I especally like the candypants one.

Mine were free, but only because its what my Mum does

I had Bridal posy, 3 Bridesmaid posys, 4 double flower button holes & two corsages - which would have costs me £102.00 if I bought them from her, luckily I got all mine freeee

www.ayrshireweddingflowers.co.uk << thats her website, shops still having items added daily but shes taking orders through email and phone still

Looking at some prices on google, some silk florists are a complete rip off!!!

My mum charges £25 for bridal posys, £30 for teardrop bouquets, £20 for bridesmaids, £12.00 for child bridesmaids posys and £8.00 for even smaller wands/tiny posys

who can honestly charge £70 for silk posy!!!!!
