Goth or alternative bouquets

I don't know if anyone can help with this one, I'm busy asking around in hopes :)

When I was at Whitby goth weekend there were two different traders selling really gorgeous floral decorations, bouquets etc. They were very stylish and striking, and a bit different from anything you see in the florists. I should say they weren't fresh flowers but fabric and other materials, beads etc. In BLACK :D

I know it isn't to everyone's taste but I thought they were gorgeous, how was I to know Mr Filigree would propose a few weeks later or I'd have taken a business card ;)

Anyone got any ideas where I can find this sort of thing? Black Saturn maybe?

I'll try asking the WGW management but they're notorious for being a bit cr*p at responding to communication.

    Something like this :confused:
    Maybe you could take the picture round a few florists and see if they could do it/something similar

    I don't like flowers so I am having a crystal bouquet with a few fake flowers in to match my colours. I guess you could do the same and have bloack roses in

    Hi and congratulations!
    The WGW has a blog/website which usually lists all the traders who were there. Here's the link and hopefully one will sound familiar!

    Sorry for not responding earlier and thanks for the replies.

    Oooh, crystals! I'd never have thought of that. I like shiny things :D

    The other suggestions all look lovely, so even if I can't find the traders I've got in mind I'm sure I can find something I like.

    Thanks everyone :A
