    I got quoted £60 for a posy of fresh flowers and £75 for a shower of fresh flowers.

    I just couldn't justify that, along with a bridesmaid bouquet and 35 buttonholes, which would be dead a few days later!

    Hi folks.

    I bought my wedding flowers from A1 weddings on ebay

    http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/a1weddings

    They are absolutely beautiful, and made to order. They're fantastically priced, the seller is fabulous and they're so life like it's shocking. She uses real quality materials. I got my bouquet, 2 bridesmaids bouquet and 4 buttonholes for £35 plus postage and package. I would recommend her to anyone!

    Hi screamer,

    How did you contact this seller to get yours made to order? I've seen one that does thistles in their bouquets (as I'm Scottish) but they were quite expensive, this seller seems reasonably priced but don't have any with thistles, was wondering if could ask them! Got til next November to find them right enough, just like being on the ball :o
  • I used Sarahs flowers, they were really good value and gorgeous, under £50 for mine, flowergirl and 2 buttonholes
  • lol u751

    at my dads wedding the bouquet was closer to £500 and almost as big as she was lol

    she threw it it was destroyed everyone was sad

    you can spend £1000s on flowers if you got loads (and from an expensive place) but why spend that on things that will last 3 days max

    lets buy cheap and have a beer instead :beer: (just wanted to use the smilie!!!!!)
    The only people I have to answer to are my beautiful babies aged 8 and 5

    I am having foam roses for bridesmaids, mine is going to be real as i had already paid non refundable deposit before considering fake!

    I originally ordered the fake one for a throwing bouquet but decided it was just perfect for Bm's so ordered another 2. The lady who made mine on ebay cant take any more orders just now as she has been super busy and had to remove all her listings. heres the photo:DSC03589.jpg
    would love to win an ipad!
