    I felt brave enough to give making bouquets a go after seeing this thread, and this is the result. They are all silk flowers, mostly from ebay and a few from Wilkos! There's enough left for a decoration in the chapel, and table decorations, all for under £50.

    3 of these for the bridesmaids (plus a flower girl wand)

    This one's for me!

    Now I just have to store them safely until next March :-)

    Hi,

    Choosing the right flowers could make a significant difference in the wedding atmosphere at the church and reception hall. Even if you have your mind set on one type of flower or arrangement, keep your options open.

    foam roses are beautiful too - they look real and very easy to work with
    If my typing is pants or I seem partcuarly blunt, please excuse me, it physically hurts to type. :wall: If I seem a bit random and don't make a lot of sense, it may have something to do with the voice recognition software that I'm using!

    I agree with you Marciah.."right flowers could make a significant difference in the wedding atmosphere"...especially if you are working on a color theme..I had attended my friends wedding and the everything was yellow at the party..it was looking just lovely..from invitaion cards to crockery..everything was yellow ..i believe..that was one of the best wedding party I had attended :) One can easily find lot of stuff on wedding invitation ideas and wedding themes
