Foam Roses

Hi all!!

I have been looking at foam roses online for ages, but never quite ordered them because of not being sure on the quality.

I went to Dunelm Mill about a week ago, and managed to get some there, which I could see first, and they actually worked out to be a really good price compared to ebay etc.

I bought 4 bunches of 6 big roses (8.5cm) at £3.99 each and made bouquets for me and my flower girl, just added some ribbon for colour and some diamante pins donated from the MIL's craft room!

I've been back today to get smaller ones for button holes, £1.99 for 6, again will add ribbon, and some pearls from the MIL's craft collection! They're the same, but are more closed.

They come tied in a bunch with green papery type tape, which I just broke and arranged them myself into simple round posies.

So my total flower cost was £19.94, plus about £5.00 of ribbon, which I bought at a local craft shop so I could have got cheaper, but, like the flowers themselves, I wanted to see the exact colour before I bought it.

If anyone wants to see pictures I'll dig the camera out!!!

What an amazing buy, well done. I also used foam roses and added pearls and diamantes. They ended up costing twice as much money as yours though. Looking forward to a peak. I have a pic of mine but wont hijack your thread lol.

I had foam roses for my bouquet and the two bridesmaids posies, made those two myself, they looked even more realistic than real flowers if that makes sense??
