So I'm trying to find ways around having real flowers at the wedding other than those provided by the venue... I just can't justify how much they cost, and while I at first was planning to buy fresh flowers and put together our bouquets the morning of the wedding.. well, I've recently been wobbling over whether we'll have the time, and I don't think I want to have that stress!
So I looked into fake flowers.. but they're also fairly expensive- I might as well get fresh flower done up by a florist!
And then I stumbled upon this:
And thought... wow, how interesting! Now, I wouldn't really want a bouquet entirely of those, but I was looking at Martha Stewart Weddings and she has tons of DIY fabric and paper flower tutorials, which look lovely:
I think I kind of like the fact that they're very obviously fake. I'm not a fan of the fake-flowers-that-should-look-completely real, and I could make some of these using cath kidston print fabric, which I'll be using for the bunting and sweets table tablecloth.. And I could use pages from old books for the the music ones first pictures, to be added throughout.
Do you think this could work? I do like real flowers, but I'm trying to cut costs.
