Felt flower bouqets

Hi,
I thought all you lovely people might be able to help me! I am looking for someone who makes felt flower/button bouqets I can't have real flowers because of allergies and I am not sure if I just want to settle with silk because of it! Plus I am a bit.. how do put it nicely 'quirky' lol
Not so sure if my fianc! is so keen on the idea but maybe if I can find some really good ones he will be a bit more intrested in the idea! :p

I only have about £100 to play with really, most the people I have found are from outside the uk!

Thanks :)
Katy

    Hello, we used Liza at Letters4Lilly in Australia: http://www.etsy.com/shop/letters4lilly

    Thanks
    It looks like I am going to be having a go at making it myself. Trying to find a die cutting machine I can afford at the moment!
    I am still looking at other people though for inspiration and if I fail at making it then I will buy it from someone because I have fallen in love with the idea lol.

    They are lovely, I think I looked at her at some point (I seem to have been through bloody everyone lol)
    My fianc! has more than come round to the idea and it looks like if I can make up enough felt flowers it will becoming a big part of the theme!
    However if this fails I will be going back to the idea of silk flowers haha.

    I was at Country Baskets today and bought some foam roses and pins etc to make button holes and while I was there I noticed that they had fairly good sized posy style bouquets approx 10 inches in diameter for under a tenner!!! Unfortunately I didn't manage to take any pics as they were all cellophaned up but they looked great for the money!
    It is a trade only warehouse but there are ways and means ;)

    I was seriously impressed, another MSE bride posted her flowers on here and they look much better in her photos! Considering the best quote for real flowers around here was £60 for my flowers alone!!
