All of our glass items such as our toasting flutes are going to be carry ons for myself & guests, so hopefully we won't run into a big problem. I like the idea of making it a candle! That's neat!

Maggie that's funny that you just posted about the clip in extensions I've been looking for some. These ones aren't real hair though are they? From reviews I think I definitely want to make sure it's real hair since it'll be easier style wise and keeping clean.

i bought the Ether frame by Umbra on amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/Umbra-8-Inch-9-5-Inch-Picture-Nickel/dp/B000FHHAU6/ref=pd_1) i bought it in the brushed silver because i didn't like the Espresso colour it also came it.

I also bought Flora Bond from Amazon to glue in the panels - have also seen at Michaels. (this awesome gal on this other forum i'm on posted great instructions on gluing http://forums.weddingbells.ca/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1733695&page=1)

at this point i'm not sure how much sand is needed, i'll keep you posted once i start "operating" on the frame =) then i'll test out some sand too.

TLGnhci, love the candle, so pretty!

I would also like to know where you got your sand ceremony frame. I haven't been able to locate one. I have a monogram vase right now, but if I could find a frame, I would most likely go with that instead.

Thanks!

RosiePosie-where did you order your RealTouch flowers from?

MaggieandJay · February 2, 2011

You can get both Human and Synthetic hair from that website. I got the REMY Human hair ones and they are great!

Those were great instructions! I am really thinking about doing the frame now...I think that is so neat & a keepsake!

I got them from Enchanting Memories http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/thread/54759/real-touch-flowers-enchanting-memories

Very easy to work with and I am very happy with the bouquet. Prices are very reasonable. They're in Ontario, Canada but ship to US as well.

Here's the picture they sent me to approve - the "draft" bouquet. I had changed a couple of things thrroughout the process and ended up liking this. I will find some time and take some photos of the actual completed bouquet to show you.

I was only going to do a vase or small bottle at first, then found these instructions and it seems easy enough, so I figure, why not - we're going to have pictures in frames anyway

Thanks RosiePosie! Your flowers are so beautiful!!! I need to be less indesicive and just pick a flower person before it's too late!

Deannamarie85, I got my flowers from Modagefloral on etsy and she did a fabulous job. So you may want to check her out. )

Ok, so I finally got around to taking some photos of what i've been working on + ordered!

DIY Satin Flowers - 4 BM Bouquets (haven't wrapped the stems yet)

My real touch bouquet - i know they don't match mine, but i had already deposited for real touch bouquets before discovering instructions for these really cute flowers so i decided to buy mine and make the BM ones.
