They are all gorgeous! Are they foam? I am making my own out of foam but still need to sort the button holes, I think my mum is after real but I can't risk sneezing on my guests!!

I think they are foam, they look so real that many people have asked if they will 'survive' until oct! :rotfl:

They are beautiful, really pretty.

You are sooo organised. I'd probably put them away someone save and forget where I put them. I'm still trying to find my strapless bra!

As they came in a ruddy great big box, which currently is in the middle of my living room, I can safely say I won't misplace them :rotfl:

OH saw them for the first time this evening (bless, he's on nights) he is chuffed silly as was very doubtful about fakes but can't get over how good they are! Told him I am always right

Well ive had a go at making a little posy, I think the ribbon needs to be wider, its just what i had lying around in the house. Where do you get the diamonte pins from for the centres of the flowers?

It's not as easy as it looks, managed to get all tangled up in floristry tape with my cat trying to 'help' :rotfl:

What do you all think? Honest opinions please...:p

l*g*d

I think that looks lovely! I got pins for my bouquets from ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1-x-25-Clear-Diamante-Pins-5cm-Long-10mm-Head-Size-/220545408766?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Crafts_FloralSupplies_SM&hash=item335987defe

Picklepick, that is really lush! I am very impressed! (I couldn't even attempt that, I craft like a boxer wearing gloves )

wow massive pictures sorry! I made mine using the dunelm bouquets re assembled with a few diamante sprays and diamante pins. then just taped the stems together with electrical tape, covered that with wide satin ribbon and secured at the end with more diamante pins. Does it look ok?

I have also made two smaller ones for my moh and bridesmaid using the same bouquets from dunelm and the same ribbon but without the 'sparkles'

Anyone think they need anything else to finish them off?

They look gorgeous binkyboo! Where did you get the gold and crystal sprays from?
I'm thinking of having a stab at some larger ones and some buttonholes and see if i can get any takers on ebay! im excited!
