I was going to have the same as you initially, but as time went on my daughter chose a hot pink bridesmaid dress and all the blokes are wearing pale pink shirts and hot pink ties, so I got myself some hot pink shoes and decided to pick the colour up in the flowers too.

I got them from Inspirations near me, (Wirral) which is a big warehouse that sells flowers and stuff for floral displays plus home and craft stuff.

They do have a website but I think they only sell the foam roses on there x

I might be able to make it there so I will try and find a spare day to go down and have a look around

Whereabouts are you?

They do have some gorgeous stuff, loads of ideas for displays and they have everything for centrepieces too, such as fishbowls, huge martini glasses, glass nuggets etc..

They sell heaps of Christmas trees and Decs too, they were putting all that out when I went a few weeks ago.

You have to join to get a traders card, but I'm positive it's free (well it was when me and my Aunty joined just before Christmas) and you can just do it there and then when you go.

Forgot to say, they do add VAT on at the end, so take that into account.

I think the roses were £1, the peonys were £2.49, the lilys were £1.99 and the gerbera were £1.99.

The diamante spray bits were £8.99 for a pack with about 30 sprays in (each spray has 3 heads)

I got irredescent pearl sprays too, but I didn't use them so instead have attatched them to the ivory buttonholes so they didn't get wasted!

For all the flowers for mine and my daughters bouquets (minus one peony because I didn't use that in the end), plus all the sprays, and florist tape and ribbon and pearl wire for the handles, it all come to £70. Still got loads of ribbon, tape and pearl/diamante sprays left though.
