my DIY bouquets and bouts!

[Sdofka309]

Did you take them as a carry on? Or checked luggage?

WAY TO GO!!! I am planning to do my own bouquet.  I haven't seen many styles available that I like (I love flowers, just not a bunch).  Great job!

Your flowers looked amazing! Thanks for sharing the packing & shipping details.

I absolutely love orchids and wanted an orchid bouquet, but I was shocked at how much they cost! Also, since we are having an AHR when we get back, I decided to make my own real-touch bouquets - they were way cheaper, and I can use them more than once, and even keep forever if I want! My colours are purple and green - so I wanted to incorporate that. The bridesmaids will be wearing purple, so I made their bouquets mostly green and the groomsmen get purple bouts to go with their beige jackets. I also threw together a couple of corsages for our mothers and grandmother coming to the wedding. The flowers (with the exception of the corsages) are from Afloral.com, the blue starfish I got from a shop online (can't remember where) and the supplies and everything else I got from Michaels. I'm really happy with how everything turned out! And I saved over $500! This was the inspiration pic: This is my bouquet: The bridesmaids bouquets: The boutaneirs: And all together: And here's a picture of the corsages:

These are amazing-I have decided to try doing my own as well and seeking yours gave me a lot of hope-wish me luck
